1. Cut the following lengths of chain: three 15", one 1 1/2", one 1 1/4", one 1".
2. Pass a head pin through one 8mm smoked topaz crystal and a bead cap and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the end of the 1 ½" chain.
3. Pass a head pin through one 4mm smoked topaz crystal and a sparkle bead and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the end of the 1 1/4" chain.
4. Pass a head pin through one 4mm light Colorado topaz crystal and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the end of the 1" chain.
5. Cut a 3" piece of craft wire and make a wrapped loop on one end. Before wrapping the loop, slip the chain dangles onto the loop.
6. Pass the wire through the wide end of a beading cone, then make a wrapped loop to attach it to a 10mm sew-on stone.
7. Use a jump ring to connect the two sew-on stones as shown.
8. Cut a 3" piece of wire and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the 14mm sew-on stone.
9. Pass the wire through the wide end of a briolette bead and the wide end of a beading cone, then use the widest part of the round nose pliers to make a large wrapped loop.
10. Hold the 15" chain lengths together and string the pendant onto the center.
11. Cut a 3" piece of wire and make a wrapped loop to connect the chains at one end of the necklace.
12. Pass the wire through a beading cone and make another wrapped loop to attach the clasp.
13. Repeat the wrapped loop and beading cone technique at the other end of the necklace, then make a large wrapped loop.
14. To fasten the necklace, connect the clasp to the large wrapped loop.
Use the tassel technique to make an easy pair of earrings:
Connect three lengths of chain to an eye pin. Pass the eye pin through the wide end of the cone, then pass the eye pin through a 4mm crystal. Make a wire-wrapped loop to attach it to an ear wire. Add beaded dangles to the chain ends. |
