PROJECT TIP:
Follow the instructions on the crimp tool package to crimp the crimp beads or tubes. |
Necklace:
1. Cut a 19" length of Beadalon 19 Strand More Flexible beading wire. String a crimp tube 1/2" from the end. String the Beadalon wire through half of the clasp and back into the crimp tube to form a small loop. Use a crimping tool to crimp the crimp tube.
2. String 15 black 6mm beads. String two silver spacer beads, then string nine red 6mm beads.
3. String a silver spacer onto the wire. Then, string beads as follows with a silver spacer between each glass bead: 10mm, 8mm black, 8mm red, 8mm black, 10mm red/silver.
4. String two silver spacer beads, a 9mm cylinder and two silver spacer beads. Then, follow the beading pattern from steps 2-3 in the reverse order to make the necklace symmetrical. Use a crimp tube to attach half of the clasp to the end of the necklace.
Earring:
5. String the following beads onto a head pin: red, silver, black. Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the black bead. Cut off any extra wire. Attach the beaded head pin to the lower loop on an ear wire.
