• Instructions •

Instructions:
1. Cut beading wire in half. You will work with both strands of wire simultaneously.

2. Note: pick randomly the colors of the beads as you string them onto the wire. The most important thing is to alternate 4 and 6mm beads to create an interesting texture. Follow given pattern:

Feed one 4mm bicone onto both wires. Feed one 6mm bead onto 1 wire. Feed another 4mm bead onto both wires. Continue alternating the colors and the technique until you have 9 beads strung onto wire.

3. Slide one of the flower dangle onto both wires. Then add 4 beads on same fashion done on step 2, and then add a second flower dangle.
Repeat on reverse to finish the other side of the beaded section of the necklace.

4. Make sure the beaded section of necklace is placed in the middle of the wires. Choose one side of the necklace and string onto both wires a crimp tube. Using crimper flatten the tube next to a 4mm bead. Trim one string of the wire leaving the necklace with a single strand of wire. Repeat the same with the opposite side of necklace.

5.  Leaving a 2 inch space of exposed wire from the crimped tube towards to the back of the necklace, add a crimp tube, wire guardian and a lobster clasp. Finish properly, and then hide flattens tube with crimp cover.
Repeat the same on the opposite side to finish the necklace.

Earrings
1. Open a copper jump ring and attach one flower dangle and slide a lever back onto it. Close jump ring. Repeat the same to make matching earrings.
