1. Pass a head pin through the outer hole on the pendant and make a wrapped loop above the pendant.
2. Cut a 2" piece of leather cord and wrap peacock blue wire around it in a tight coil. Cut a 4" piece of leather cord and wrap ice blue wire around it in a tight coil. Use BeadFix squares to glue the coils in place inside the pendant channels as shown.
3. Cut a 12" piece of silver wire and wrap it twice around the pendant at 1:00. Wrap the wire around the pendant evenly spaced all the way around circle. At 1:00, wrap the wire end in a tight coil around the starting point on the back of the pendant.
4. Cut a 2" piece of wire and make a spiral on one end. Wrap it in a coil around the wires at 1:00 on the front of the pendant. Make a spiral on the other end.
5. Cut a 3" piece of silver wire and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the upper loop on the pendant. Pass it through a crystal and make another wrapped loop. Cut a 3" piece of peacock blue wire and make a wrapped loop to attach it to the crystal link. Pass it through a silver double spiral bead and make another wrapped loop.
6. Repeat the alternating bead links (see Step 5) as shown until half of the crystals and spirals are used.
7. Repeat Steps 5-6 for the other side of the necklace so the pattern is symmetrical. Attach the clasp to the end before wrapping the final loop.
