Make Mala jewelry easily with TierraCast guru beads and Dakota Stones gemstones. Choose gemstones that have special meaning for you to make this look even more impactful.
Attach a tassel to the Guru bead using the jump ring attached to the top of the tassel.
Unwind the silk cord from the spool and give the cord a stretch. Add the following pattern to the end of the cord:
Repeat this pattern 13 times, leaving off the last aquamarine bead. Add the guru bead and then make a mirror image of the pattern on the other side of the guru bead.
Knot the ends of the necklace together and trim. Add a dot of glue for extra security and allow to dry. Save the excess silk cord with the needle attached for your next project.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
I used small gemstone beads between the Mala beads to space them out. They make a quick alternative to knotting, too.
