• Instructions •

1. Find the center of stringing wire and start stringing beads from this point.

2. String a crystal bead + one carved bead and go back through this bead as many time as possible creating a surface of exposed wire outside of bead. If the wood bead you are suing has a very large hole you might be able to pass the wire 10 times.

3. String beads as follows: 1 crystal + 1 carved bead + 1 crystal + 1 coconut bead + 1 crystal + 1 carved bead + 1 crystal + 1 carved bead + 1 crystal + 1 carved bead + 1 crystal + 1 coconut bead + 5 crystal beads.

4. Finish this side of necklace adding a crimp tube + wire guardian + lobster clasp. Feed the wire back through wire guardian and back through crimp tube. Use crimping tool to crimp tube properly and cover using a copper crimp v cover for a professional look.

5. Repeat all the steps to finish the other side of necklace stringing beads symmetrically. * Not a Beadalon item. * You can replace coconut beads with wood or fiber beads.
