Materials:* Beads of your choice

* Clasp (optional)

Instructions:1. Choose a Design:
* Decide on the pattern and color combination you want for your strap.
* Simple designs include: single-strand, double-strand, or braided.
2. Measure the Desired Length:
* Hold the thread or cord against your phone to determine the desired length for your strap.
* Allow for extra length to attach the clasp (if using).
3. String the Beads:
* Thread the beads onto the cord in your chosen pattern.
* Leave a few inches of cord at the beginning and end for attaching the clasp.
4. Secure the Ends:
* Thread a crimping bead onto the end of the cord.
* Use jewelry pliers to crimp the bead down to secure the beads.
* Repeat on the other end.
5. Add a Clasp (Optional):
* If desired, attach a clasp to one end of the strap.
* Use jewelry pliers to open the jump ring on the clasp and attach it to the crimping bead.
* Close the jump ring securely.
6. Attach to Phone Case:
* Loop the strap through the designated hole or ring on your phone case.
* Adjust the length as needed and tighten the loop.

Tips:* Use sturdy thread or cord to prevent the strap from breaking.
* Choose beads that complement the style of your phone case.
* Experiment with different bead shapes and sizes to create unique designs.
* If the cord is too taut, the beads may break. Adjust the tension accordingly.
* To clean the strap, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

Variations:* Tassel: Add a tassel to the end of the strap for an extra touch of style.
* Charms: Incorporate small charms or pendants to personalize your strap.
* Braided Strap: Braid three strands of cord together and add beads as desired.
* Beaded Pendant: Create a larger beaded pendant and attach it to the center of the strap.
