Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 22-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.

String the following onto the beading wire:
- Repeat this sequence to string seven sets:
- One 6x2mm beaded rondelle
- One red and metallic red 6mm cathedral
- One 6x2mm beaded rondelle

- One 6x2mm beaded rondelle
- One emerald green 9.5x3mm rondelle

Repeat the sequence in Step 3 in the opposite order to string the remainder of the necklace. Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.

Pass one 4mm jump ring through the loop on one lobster claw clasp and the Accu-Guard on one end of the strand. Repeat to attach a second jump ring creating double jump rings.
Pass one 6.5x5mm jump ring through the loop on the Christmas wreath charm and two 4mm jump rings then close. Repeat adding five more sets of jump rings creating a jump ring chain. Pass one 6.5x5mm jump ring through the last set of double 4mm jump rings on the chain and the Accu-Guard on the opposite end of the strand then close.
