Tips:
1 - Trim the excess wire using flush cutter.
2 - Replace the beads for any beads you like. Just remember to combine different shapes and sizes, giving a rich texture to your piece.
3 - All findings used on this design can be found on this website.
4 - For matching earrings use the ball star head pin dangle as a model.
5 – Bead bumpers replace knots between carnelian roundelles. Bead bumpers are not heavy so if you are using big and heavy beads it might squeeze them a little bit too much. |
1. Cut a 10 piece of stringing wire and feed the wire trough one Scrimp and then attach to a flat disc and back through the Scrimp. Tighten screw.
2. String beads as follows: 1 bead cap + 1 jet polygon + 1 bead cap + 1 carnelian roundel + 1 bead bumper + 1 carnelian roundel + 1 bead bumper + 1 carnelian roundel. Alternate polygon and bicones and repeat until you have 18 carnelian roundelles. Alternate polygon and bicone crystal beads and finish until you have 5 polygon alternated by 3 bicones. Repeat step 1 and set aside.
3. Make the other side of necklace following instructions given on step 1-2 , only alternate position of crystal beads .
4. Cut green suede cord in 3 pieces of 4, 3 and 2. Close a C crimp onto suede end. Use 1 on each suede piece. Crimp the 3 other ends all together onto a single C crimp and set aside. Use chain nose pliers to tighten C crimp ends.
5. String one gold cap + one bicone + one gold cap onto a ball star head pin and make a simple loop on top of bead, attach to piece of suede through the ring of suede ends and wrap around the neck twice. Trim excess wire using flush cutter. Repeat the same using a polygon dangle and make another dangle using a carnelian roundel only (no caps). Set all pieces of suede aside.
6. Attach strings made on steps 1-3 using a small jump ring connecting both flat discs together. Slide jump ring through the empty hole of both flat discs and then close gently. Attach a second jump ring to the center.
7. Attach a jump ring to one orange furry pendant and attach to the center of piece made on step 6. Attach 3 small jump rings (forming a little chain) to one green furry pendant and attach to the same ring.
8. Attach a 6mm jump ring onto an orange furry pendant and pieces made from step 6.
9. Attach clasp to flat discs ends using small jump rings.
10. Make a final dangle using a bicone and a carnelian roundel strung onto a ball star head pin, wrap around gold TAG and attach to jump ring of one of the necklaces end.
