• Instructions •
Necklace
1. Pour all of the seed beads into the bowl of the Spin-N-Bead™ Jr. Turn the bowl back and forth to mix the beads together.

2. Cut a 24” length of thread and thread the needle.

3. Tie an overhand knot ½" from the end of the thread.

4. Follow the Spin-N-Bead™ Jr. instructions to load beads onto the thread.

5. When the thread is covered 18” with beads, remove it from the needle and tie an overhand knot ½” from the end to prevent the beads from sliding off.

6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for nine more strands.

7. Tie one end of all of the strands together in an overhand knot, then tie the knotted strands to the loop on an Eye Pin.

8. Add a drop of glue to the knot; let it dry; cut off any excess thread.

9. Pass the Eye Pin through the wide end of a Beading Cone and make a wrapped loop to attach the clasp.

10. Repeat Steps 7-9 for the other end, but make a large wrapped loop outside the beading cone.

11. Make a large wrapped loop to attach the wire to the stone pendant. 12. Pass the wire through a 10mm bead, then make another large wrapped loop to attach the pendant to the center of the necklace.


Earrings
1. Pass a Head Pin through a bead and make a wrapped loop to attach it to an Ear Wire.

2. Pinch the lower portion of the Ear Wire to hold the dangle in place.

3. Repeat Steps 1-2 to make a matching earring.
