Two-Piece Necklace Set with Resin, Crystal Passions® Beads and Antique Silver-Plated Bow Bead

Cut a 2-inch length of Parawire™ 18-gauge silver-plated round wire.

Using Wubbers® Designer Mandrel large round mandrel pliers, make the wire into a circle.

Cut a 4-inch length of PET 2-inch wide blue resin tape. Place a 31mm fine silver open round focal onto the sticky side of the tape, pressing firmly. Then place the wire circle into the center of the focal, pressing firmly to make sure it adheres to the tape.

Mix 2-part resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Add dye and glitter to the resin. Mix well.

Add resin to the inside of the larger circle, taking care to leave the inside of the smaller circle empty to create a wreath shape. Let the resin dry completely.

Using Devcon 5 Minute® 2-part epoxy, glue Crystal Passions® SS12 Siam round flat backs onto your wreath design.

Cut a 4-inch length of Zebra Wire™ 12-gauge silver color tinned copper round wire. Bend it into a bow and glue it to the wreath using Devcon 5 Minute 2-part epoxy.

Attach a 22x6mm silver-plated ice pick bail to the wreath. Then thread the bail onto an 18-inch stainless steel 1.6mm triple rope chain.

Necklace #2

Create a drop by stringing a Crystal Passions® 6mm Siam cube bead and a 13x7mm antique silver-plated bow bead onto a 2-inch 24-gauge stainless steel head pin.

Make a wrapped loop in the open end of the head pin.

Using a 5mm 20-gauge stainless steel jump ring, connect the loop in the top of the beaded drop and the center of your desired length of stainless steel 2.2mm paperclip chain.

Using 5mm 20-gauge stainless steel jump rings, add the parts of a 13x5mm stainless steel lobster claw clasp to the ends of the necklace.
