SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Assorted beads
- Elephant charm
- Clear cord
- Scissors
- Jewelry fastener
DIRECTIONS:
- Using scissors, cut a 22" piece of clear cord.
- Attach jewelry fastener to one end of the clear cord with a knot. Trim excess cord using scissors.
- Strand assorted beads on half of the cord, altering the colors of the beads to create unique patterns. Strand the elephant bead charm so it is centered on the necklace. Begin stranding beads on the remaining half of the clear cord, making sure the pattern is identical to the opposite side.
- Attach the other half of the jewelry fastener to the end of the clear cord with a knot.

Simple and Straightforward
The directions are to make a necklace with the blue elephant charm (not how to copy that necklace exactly). You use your preferences and creativity to make the pattern you want. Simple and straightforward directions.

Making the necklace
The directions are very vague. It's not about the pattern or being creative its about "What type of cord do I use?, "How do I fasten it?". That is what should be elaborated on since you indicate this is for a beginner.

Yes the directions are vague but you use your own creativity use different size beads keep to the same color palette

Cute and Easy Elephant
Full disclosure - I haven't made this yet, but I plan to make it as a gift for my sister who loves elephants. After nreading the less than complimentary review, I read the directions. What could be easier! I don't think you are meant to copy the beads exactly. Use ones you like in a pattern you like. If you want the exact beads, take the picture to JoAnn's and buy them. I just hope they still have the elephant.

"How to" charm necklace
These directions are very vague and unhelpful. By the title "How to make a Blue Mood Elephant", I expected to have more specific directions and specific items needed to complete the project. I did not find this helpful for a beginner at all.
