Project Instructions
Step: 1
Determine the length of necklace desired and cut beading wire to that length plus 6-inches.
Step: 2
Slide pendant onto wire, moving it to the center.
Step: 3
Work from the pendant out; each side will need to match, so it is easier to do one side and then the other.
Step: 4
Make the design your own, adding crystals and pearls as desired. Use photo as a guide. At each end add one piece of the toggle with crimp beads. Click to see crimping technique.
Step: 5
Earrings are made by adding beads to a head pin. Use wire cutters to clip head pin to ¼-inch from last bead. Use round nose pliers to bend to 90 degree angle and then back around to create loop. Click to see technique for making loop.
Step: 6
Add to ear wire and close opening.
Step: 7
The bracelet is created with 3 strands of beads.
Step: 8
Cut a10-inch length of wire, attach one at a time to toggle with crimp bead.
Step: 9
One strand can be all pearls, one crystals and another a mix of crystals and pearls.
Step: 10
Attach each strand to other end of toggle to finish.
