NECKLACE
1. Cut a 12" length of shaping wire and pass it through a flat oval. Bend the wire downward over the oval and twist the wires together at the base of the oval. Use this technique to make five oval petals, then pass the long end of the wire through a bronzite round. Wrap the wire around the base of the bead and bend the wire ends inward.
2. Untwist one of the petals enough to make the wire loose around that petal. Bend the loose wire into a loop that's hidden behind the petal.
3. Pass a head pin through a rondelle, flat oval, rondelle and make a wrapped loop; repeat for nine beaded head pins. Cut nine 1-3/4" lengths of chain.
4. Hold the flower so the petal with the loop is at the top. Use a crimp bead to attach a piece of beading wire to the back center of the flower. Pass the beading wire through three amazonite rounds.
5. Pass the beading wire through a beaded head pin and chain from Step 3 and an amazonite bead; repeat eight more times.
6. Pass the beading wire through a rondelle, 19 pearls, a rondelle, a crimp and a toggle ring loop. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp bead and crimp it. Attach a crimp cover.
7. Attach a jump ring to the wire loop behind the top leaf. Cut five 6" lengths of chain and attach them to the jump ring. Use another jump ring to connect the end of the chains to the toggle bar loop.
EARRINGS
1. Pass a head pin through a pearl and make a wrapped loop; repeat for three more pins.
2. Open a loop on an eye pin and string three pearl head pins onto it.
3. Pass an eye pin from Step 2 through a flat oval, silver rondelle, and amazonite round.
4. Make a basic loop to attach the beaded eye pin to the lower loop on an ear wire.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to make a matching earring.
BRACELET
1. Use round nose pliers to make a loop on one end of the Memory Wire bracelet coil.
2. Pass the wire through six pearls, a silver rondelle, amazonite round, silver rondelle, flat oval, silver rondelle, amazonite round, silver rondelle.
3. Repeat the beading pattern from Step 2 six more times, then pass the wire through six more pearls.
4. Make a basic loop and cut off any extra wire.
5. Pass a head pin through an amazonite round and a silver rondelle, then make a wrapped loop to attach it to the loop at the end of the bracelet.
6. Repeat Step 5 to make a matching dangle for the other end of the bracelet. |
