Instructions
Cut a 13-inch and a 15-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
String a crimp onto the 13-inch length of beading wire, approximately 1/4 inch from the end. Crimp, trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire and add a crimp cover.
String the following:
String the following pattern seven times:
String a 4mm round, a seed bead and another 4mm round. Repeat.
String a crimp and an Accu-Guard™ wire protector onto the beading wire. 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, trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire then add a crimp cover.
Use a 4mm jump ring to attach the end of the strand to one half of a toggle clasp.
Using the 15-inch length of wire, repeat Step 2.
String the following:
Pass the beading wire through the 12.5mm silver-finished square added in Step 3, using the set of holes perpendicular to that used in Step 3.
String a 4mm round, a seed bead, a 4mm round and a gold-finished square.
String the pattern from Step 4 nine times then repeat Steps 5 - 8 to complete the necklace.
String a 13x11mm lotus onto an eye pin then create a simple loop. Repeat to create a second link.
String an 11x9mm silver-finished lotus, a 4mm round, a seed bead and another 4mm round onto a head pin then create a simple loop. Repeat to create a second drop.
Pass the loop of an ear wire through the loop of a link. Use a 4mm jump ring to attach a drop to the opposite loop.
