You need to be able to string the gemstone beads on a single strand of leather, and be able to place three strands worth through the metal beads (you can use two ends of the 24” strand plus the 13” strand to test this out) but not much larger than 3 strands
For example, 2mm leather will require a metal bead with at least a 5mm opening
For this project, 1.5mm leather is recommended.
Large opening metal beads have been spied at both AGS and Sea of Beads
Large hole 8mm gemstone beads have been spied at both AGS and Intrinsic Trading (on Palmer in south Williamson County)
You will also need some sharp scissors for cutting the leather and some super glue to secure the knots, if you want
