Here's how to make an original necklace from a donut (the model shown is made of dichroic glass by the American artist Paula Radkle, but any other donut will do) with an elegantly braided faceted necklace.
The donut has a diameter of 31 mm, the beads are Czech crystal facets.
You can easily adapt the necklace to the desired length.

The instructions include full color diagrams and detailed explanations.
