Hi Debbie,
My niece makes it and it isn't too difficult from the way she describes it. She made me a necklace and it's very pretty.

I bought a beaded bracelet at a craft show in the Wisc Northwoods that's just beautiful and cost about $45. It has Swarovsky crystals in it. So if you can learn to do it you might save some money and have some beautiful pieces for yourself and gifts as well.
