Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 20-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
Step 2
String onto the beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end.
Crimp, then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a 4mm crimp cover.
Step 3
String the following onto the beading wire:
- Repeat this sequence to string 12 sets:
- One cobalt 11x11mm star
- One white 4mm round
- One cobalt 11x11mm star
- One orange-red 10x3mm top-drilled dagger
- One white 15.5x5mm top-drilled dagger
- One orange-red 10x3mm top-drilled dagger
- One cobalt 11x11mm star
- One white 4mm round
- One cobalt 11x11mm star
Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.
Step 4
Pass one 4mm jumpring through the Accu-Guard on one end of the strand and the loop on one lobster claw clasp then close. Repeat to attach a second jumpring creating double jumprings.
Pass one oval jumpring through the Accu-Guard on the opposite end of the strand then close.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
String one cobalt 11x11mm star onto one 1-inch headpin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a second cobalt star drop.
Step 2

Step 3
String the following onto one 40x22mm teardrop with loop beading hoop:
- One cobalt 4mm round
- One orange-red 10x3mm top-drilled dagger
- One white 15.5x5mm top-drilled dagger
- One orange-red 10x3mm top-drilled dagger
- One cobalt 4mm round
Secure the beading hoop.
Repeat to create a second beaded hoop.
Step 4
Pass the loop on one cobalt star drop onto one loop on one white link then close.
Pass one 4mm jumpring through the loop on the opposite end of the white link and the inner loop on one beaded hoop then close.
Pass the loop on one leverback earwire through the top loop on one beaded hoop then close.
