Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut two 12-inch lengths of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
Step 2
String a powder rose 4mm pearl onto an eyepin and create a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of three beaded links.
Step 3
String a powder rose 3mm pearl onto a headpin and create a simple loop. Repeat to create a second 3mm drop.
Repeat to create the following:
- Two drops with one 4mm and one 3mm pearl
- Two drops with one 6mm, one 4mm and one 3mm pearl
- One drop with one 8mm, one 6mm, one 4mm and one 3mm pearl
Step 4
Use 4.5mm jumprings to connect the drops created in Step 3 to the bottom loops of a 22mm round Lazer Lace™ drop.
Step 5
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect a beaded link created in Step 2 to the top loop of the 22mm round drop.
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect the opposite end of the beaded link and a 22mm round link.
Connect a 4.5mm jumpring to the opposite side of the 22mm round link.
Step 6
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect two beaded links to the last jumpring added in Step 5.
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect the opposite ends of an added beaded link to a 22mm round link. Repeat to connect the second attached beaded link to a second 22mm round link.
Step 7
String onto a length of 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 then crimp.
Step 8
String the following pattern onto the beading wire five times:
- One crystal lilac shadow 3mm bicone
- One 3mm stainless steel 3mm round
- One crystal lilac shadow 3mm bicone
- One 6x2mm bead cap
- One powder rose 8mm pearl
- One 6x2mm bead cap
- One powder rose 6mm pearl
- One powder rose 4mm pearl
Step 9
Continue by stringing one lilac shadow 3mm bicone, one stainless steel 3mm round and one lilac shadow 3mm bicone, then repeat Step 7 to secure the beaded strand.
Step 10
Using the second length of beading wire, repeat Steps 7 - 9 to create a second beaded strand.
Step 11
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect a beaded strand to a 22mm link added in Step 6. Repeat to connect the second link and second beaded strand.
Step 12
Use a 4.5mm jumpring to connect a beaded strand to a lobster claw clasp.
Attach a 4.5mm jumpring to the end of the second beaded strand.
