Braided seed bead lanyard

In our office we have to wear the id card through out the day, so we have one of those plain lanyards black in color, pretty boring.

I made myself one previously with seed beads

Seed bead lanyard

LOne of my co workers has a very pretty lanyard made of seed beads for the ID. I haven thinking of making a lanyard for myself for the longest time. And then finally I made one myself and need less to say my co workers wanted one .

So I made one for myself with size 11 seed beads with brick stitch and the other with size 8 seed beads
