Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 20-inch length 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:
- Ten sets of:
- One green ceramic 6mm round
- One opaque yellow 8.5mm rondelle
- Four sets of:
- One green ceramic 8mm round
- One opaque yellow 8.5mm rondelle
- Three sets of:
- One green ceramic 10mm round
- One opaque yellow 8.5mm rondelle
- Two sets of:
- One green ceramic 12mm round
- One opaque yellow 8.5mm rondelle
Step 4
Continue to string one green ceramic 14mm round then repeat the sequence in Step 3 in the opposite direction to string the second half of the necklace.
Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.
Step 5
Pass one 4mm jumpring through the loop on one portion of the bullet clasp and the Accu-Guard on one end of the strand then close. Repeat to attach the second portion of the clasp to the opposite end of the necklace.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
String onto one 1-inch headpin: one green ceramic 6mm round, one opaque yellow 8.5mm rondelle and one green ceramic 6mm round then form a simple loop.
Repeat to create a second green ceramic drop.
Step 2
Attach a fishhook earwire to each ceramic drop.
