1. Rinse off seeds thoroughly.
2. Soak the seeds in water until soft. (Some seeds may have to soak overnight.)
3. Drain seeds in colander, then pat dry.
4. Double-thread needle to the desired length of your necklace, then add 2 inches. (Make sure the necklace will fit over your head.) Knot the thread 1 inch from the end to make a tail.
5. String seeds in a fun pattern. Stop stringing when you’ve filled the thread up to 1 inch from the needle.
6. Cut loose the needle, then knot the ends. Tie the tail and other end together to complete your necklace.
7. Let necklace dry in a sunny spot for a day or two before you wear it.
