Put both ends of the leather through five white beads. Push them down to the green bead. String three red beads on one end of the leather. Put on one green bead after the three reds. String the leather back through the three red beads, so that the green bead is perpendicular to the reds.
Repeat steps three through five with the other end of the leather.
Thread both ends of the leather through the remaining three white beads, and the last green bead. Tie the ends of the leather in a double knot at the top to make a necklace. Use your cross to tell others how they can have life through Christ. Black leather the darkness of sin. Red beads the blood Christ shed.
