• Instructions •

1. Cover the entire surface of thick fishing material wrapping silverose wire around it. Hold tight between your fingers so you keep the beading wire pressed into the covered area.

2. Insert a tube to one of the ends snuggling the end of your wire into it and then crimp tight. Repeat the same to the opposite end.

3. Attach a 4mm silver plated jump ring on each tube end. Open a 6mm jumtp ring and attach to one end and then attach lobster EZ clasp to the opposite end.

4. Cut 11 pieces of 2” length of silverose beading wire.

5. Slide one piece of silverose wire through wired copper ball from one side to another. Wired balls come with gaps inside and you will use those gaps to pass the beading wire through one side to another. Find as many as possible so you can add all the “spikes” you want to. On this necklace I passed 11 pieces of wire through the wired ball.

6. Slide one peach crystal bicone into each side of a piece of wire followed by 2 crimp tubes, one on each side. Hold beads in place crimping tubes very next to crystal beads. Leave 1/8” mm of wire on each side and then trim excess wire. Make 4 more “spikes” using vintage rose beads.

7. Repeat step 6 using fuchsia crystal bicones. The ideal is to use 6 pieces of wire to create 6 spikes with fuchsia crystal beads. But again, it will depend on how many gaps you will be able to spot on wired ball in order to pass wire through it.

8. Using a very small dab of BeadFix glue a crystal bead to the far end of each spike. Play with colors using fuchsia and crystal moonlight beads. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

9. Open one copper jump ring and attach to wired ball and then attach to champagne sterling silver chain.

10. Open one copper jump ring and attach piece from step 9 to necklace structure. Add a second copper jump ring to it.
