Easy - necklace - porcelain beads
Take your wax cord, beads and clasp and put everything on your working surface. I find it's easier to space the beads out on the cord, that way you can estimate the length of the necklace and the amount of beads to use. I used about 20cm of cord and three beads, since the back of my nack won't be visible :)
Take the cord and slide on one bead. When it's in the dsired position in the cord, tie a knot at both sides of the bead. Go all the way around until you reach the back of your neck and the end of the necklace. You can add as much beads as you like, but remember that, since you tie two knots per bead, the length of the cord will have to be altered when you use more beads or when you want a more loosefitting necklace.
When you have the desired length of your necklace, add the clasp. Be sure to secure the ends of the cord, as it can easy slip off. Et voila, your necklace. Off course you can use whatever beads you like. I find this necklace excellent for beads that deserve to pop out a bit.
