The supplies for this project are simple, so you can make various types of necklaces from them. You’ll need wooden beads in various sizes (3/8″ – 1.5″), black paint, paint brush, 1/2″ copper tubing, 1/2″ tube cutter and 1mm leather cord. To make your own copper tube beads, pick up some copper tubing and a tube cutter from the plumbing aisle at the hardware store. Now simply rotate the tube cutter around the tube, tightening the cutter as you go along. Then use a point-tip paint brush and black paint to add polka dots to a few of the wooden beads. Next string various combinations of wooden beads and copper tubing onto the leather cord. The rest of the tutorial is here.
