1. Cut a 17” segment of memory wire.
2. Attach a scrimp to one end of wire.
3. Bead core necklace in following pattern: rose, Montana, indicolite. Repeat this pattern until you reach the 19th Montana.
4. Attach scrimp to end of wire. Be sure there is a little room between your beads so you can attach your tendrils and circles later.
5. Create 2 1” beaded circles. Thread wire ends from opposite sides into a crimp tube, a rose round and a crimp tube. Use chain nose pliers to crimp on either side of the bead. Cut off excess wire tail.
6. Attach beaded circles between 8th Montana and 8th rose beads from each end using a 5mm silver plated jump ring.
7. Create a 1/5” beaded circle with a Montana round. Insert this between the center two beads (10th rose from left and 10th Indian sapphire from left)
8. Slide a crimp bead about 2” from end of a 13” section of crinkle wire. Loop top of wire between 7th Montana and 7th rose bead from left and slide tail back inside crimp tube so it’s snug between the beads but has a little room for movement. Use chain nose pliers to compress crimp tube and secure wire to necklace. (The tube should just poke out a little from beads)
9. Working down wire a ½”, thread a crimp tube, Indian sapphire and another crimp tube on wire, loop wire end back into all three to create a circle. The circle should be 7/8” in diameter. Use chain nose pliers to crimp both tubes making sure wire isn’t crossing inside of tubes.
10. Move down 1” and repeat process with a crimp tube, Montana and a crimp tube making a 1.5” diameter circle.
11. Move down 1” and repeat process with a crimp tube, rose and a crimp tube making a 1” diameter circle.
12. Move down 1” and repeat process with a crimp tube, Indian sapphire and a crimp tube making a 7/8” diameter circle. Cut off excess wire tail.
13. Move over to the 9th Montana and the 9th rose and insert a 15” section of wire between beads. Repeat process of attaching with crimp tube.
14. Start with a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round. Move down 1” and create a 1/5” circle with a Montana round, move down and create a 1” circle with a rose round, move down and make a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round and end with a 1.5” circle with a Montana round. Cut off excess wire tail.
15. Move over to the 10th rose and the 10th Indian sapphire and attach a 15” section of wire as before.
16. Start with a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round. Move down 1” and create a 1” circle with a rose round, move down and create a 1.5” circle with a Montana round, move down and create a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round and move down and create a 1” circle with a rose round. Cut off excess wire tail.
17. Move over to the 12th rose and the 12th Indian sapphire and attach a 13” section of wire as before.
18. Start with a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round. Move down 1” and create a 1” circle with a rose round, move down and create a 1/5” circle with a Montana round and move down and create a 7/8” circle with an Indian sapphire round. Cut off excess wire tail. |
