I second another video link. I cant view the dropbox one. It says you need permission from the creator.

It's not too difficult. I did just that many years ago and when I found a set with the proportions and aesthetics I was looking for, I purchased enough for a lifetime. An afternoon at Michaels or other similar craft shops should yield good results. I found that plastic or metal beads are best because they slide easier and wooden beads are usually rough on the inside and occasionally snag on the cords. I also purchased a roll of candle wick string for the cords. After cutting them to the right length, I let them soak in coffee for the afternoon turned them a nice brown colour, and after rinsing them off, they now look like hemp cords - which suits my somewhat bohemian style. |

Apparently Dropbox is being picky, so here's a google drive link that should work...

A more fashionable design like the old black version with the metal beads would be perfect

I feel the same way. I have Ritual, but wooden beads is not really my style. Metal beads would be much better.

Penguin Magic has purchased the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell "Ritual." This is the style they have decided to go with... at least initially. Perhaps if you contact them and express your preference, they may consider producing the other version.

The old style of bean and necklace was 1000 times better! I hope Penguin Magic decides to bring back the old model

In the older version, the metal “beads” were actually hardware items still obtainable from Lowe’s. The silver ones are zinc wood insert nuts and the brass ones are ribbed hose splicers.
