• Step 1

  Cut off long piece of thick fishing string and attach the needle to one end.

  *it's better to use a strong big needle rather than a little one.*

• Step 2

  Pour out your dried corn so you can see the different colors and shapes.

  Pick out which ever pieces suit you best and put them in a separate pile.

  Use the needle to carefully stab and drive in the middle of the corn. Be careful not to hurt your self.

  *Helpful hint: the corn will not fall off and will last longer if you drive it in slowly directly in the middle.*

• Step 3

  Repeat step #2 until the corn is strung on and is the length that you desire.

• Step 4

  Lay your necklace down and pick up your skull.

  *You don't have to use an Otter skull, or let alone, any kind of skull. A bone or neat looking object (such as an arrow head) can be used to replace or substitute for this project.*

  Inspect the skull for any flaws or chips that could hurt you while wearing it.

• Step 5

  Find an opening in the skull and stick the string with the corn on it thru.
  *make sure the the hole is big enough for the corn to go thru. Do not force it in if it does not fit; find another opening.*

  *if you are using another bone or object, be sure that you have made a big enough opening also for it to fit.*

• Step 6

  Tie the ends together tightly. If you would like, you can burn the knot so it will melt together and stay firmly tied.

Very creative! I have Native American blood also, but I do not know very much about my heritage. It makes me happy to see someone else loving the culture
