One way Native people used to create necklaces was to wrap a tongue of hide (or even cloth) with small sized beads. The thread was sewed at one end of the hide tongue and 5/6 cm of beads were strung in it. This thread with the beads was then held in place holding it with the teeth while the hide tongue was rolled. The result is a very dense and uniform decoration that I don't think I've ever seen for sale in Italy. In these pictures the basic pattern and some shots of a necklace I made.
