Making the R.A.W. chain/strap for the necklace is really easy!

Begin on one side, and pick up five size 11s, one 4mm, and five 11s.

Making a circle, go back up through 2 side beads as shown.
Needle through the next 5 seeds and the 4mm.  The 4mm bead will be your 'connecting' bead.  Now you're in position to start the next round.

*Pick up five 11s, one 4mm, and five 11s.  Making a circle, go back up through the side 4mm from the last round, and needle through the next five 11s until you're coming out of the new 4mm you just added.

Repeat from * to the end.

Easy huh?

NOTE:  If you want your chain to have a curve to it, try using only 4 seeds on the top of each 'circle' and 5 on the bottom.
