Making Window Valances: Threading Third String with Beads

Video Transcript

"For our third strand we're starting again at the top and our next set, our next cluster is going to be in between the two clusters on our second strand. This time I'm going to use a focal bead. It's a darker bead, it's a little bit larger. You don't want to use too many of these. If you a lot of nice light clusters and then once in a while you put in a dark focal bead, something a little bigger, a little darker, something that draws your eye. It gives the beaded valance a really nice look. Just string that on and again I'm doing it midway between. So we're staggering our bead clusters and pinch that on and continue down to the end. We're finishing off our third strand with a pennant bead that has a hole through the top like this and you just pull that through. You did make it a little bit shorter than the other one, about a half inch shorter and you want to tie that off right there. You want to continue on in this fashion down the whole length of the valance until we get to the center. Then we'll add our focal bead on the center."
