"Hi I'm Jason on behalf of Expert Village today. I'm showing you how to make a beaded necklace out of items we've found or have been given to us. Before we do that actually, I bought this dremel, it's about a $20 tool. With this you can shape or make almost anything you need to do. So aside from the dremel, we have the clay, a little piece of chain, some stars, some various skulls, and actually some pieces of plastic that came from this wire down here that we're going to make into beads for the necklace. I think that out of all the ones today I'm going to choose this skull with these beads, and the reason being because this skull has got on top of it two holes that I can thread and the beads already have a hole through the center so I can thread through there and it will make less work. Some of these others I would actually have to put a hole in and these stars and the smallest drill bit I have here today is this so we'll use these for another time. So today we've got these, and this chain I'm sure we'll use somewhere here along the way, so, we'll put everything else away and we're ready to go onto the next step."
