"Hi, I'm Rachel for Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make two different necklaces and a bracelet. The necklaces are very pretty. They're very stylish but they are very simple to make plus the beads, as you can see, the pearls, let's say for example, it's very hard to tell that it is not real and actually it is a very simple bead that you can get at any hobby shop, craft shop or hobby shop. If you don't like the color of course you can put any other kind of bead. Teenagers can make them, you can make them. Little younger kids can make them too but probably with bigger beads because the smaller beads are a little bit harder for little kids to handle. But those beads are very simple. You can get them in any craft or hobby store that you go. I am going to use today a fishing line that you can get again, in any hobby stores or in sport stores. The beads again, you can use fancier beads or simpler beads. The colors are for your taste. Whatever you want you can pick up. What I want to show you today is the pattern that you can follow up and do a very simple necklace or bracelet and it is going to look very elegant and hardly anyone would be able to tell that you really made it because it is going to look very professional."
