Mesh tubing, aka Tubular Crin, aka Cyberlox, is great for lots of accessories and jewelry.  I already have a tutorial showing how to make cyber falls, but here's something totally different you can do with it. 

What you need: 

- Narrow mesh tubing
- beads (something with shine works best; I used iridescent rosebud beads and faux pearls).  It helps if the beads you'll be using as spacers have larger holes.
- leather crimps and clasp
- hot glue
- pliers

Step 1: Adding beads

Insert beads into the tubing, securing every few beads by squishing the tubing end so it can fit through the bead hole.  Depending on the size of hole on your beads, this can be tricky, but trimming off any frayed plastic bits can help. 

For this reason you want to start with tubing a couple inches longer than your finished necklace, as the ends will get a bit frayed from all the manipulation.
