This turns the pulp black, which nothing but an iron kettle will do; cook, and when the consistency of dough it is ready to mold into beads.

Take a bit of the dough, again as large as the size you wish your beads to be when finished, as they shrink in size when dried, and make them of uniform size, or larger ones for the centre of the necklace, as you prefer.

Roll in the palms of your hands, until perfectly round, stick a pin through each bead, then stick the pins into a bake board.

Be careful the bead does not touch the board, as that would spoil its shape.

Allow the beads to remain until perfectly dry.
