Instructions


Step 1

String onto the open side of a safety pin four sets of one Dyna-Mites™ opaque red #8 and one opaque white #8 seed bead. Apply a small amount of Loctite® 409 Gel adhesive to the inside of the pin closure then close. Repeat to create a total of five red and white safety pins.

Step 2

String onto a safety pin four opaque dark blue #8 seed beads and two sets of one opaque red #8 and one opaque white #8 seed bead then glue closed. Repeat to create a total of four red, white and blue safety pins.

Step 3

String onto a headpin one Czech glass opaque dark blue 6mm round and the second hole on a spacer bar. Then form a simple loop on the straight end of the wire. Repeat to attach a second opaque dark blue drop to the third hole on the spacer bar.

Repeat to attach two opaque dark blue drops to a second spacer bar.

Step 4

Cut two 8-inch lengths and four 3-inch lengths of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.

Step 5

String the loops on the four red, white and blue then the five red and white safety pins onto one length of beading wire stringing a silver-plated 3mm round between each pin. Center the pins on the beading wire then place a Bead Stopper™ close to the last pin on one side so the pins cannot slide.

Step 6

String the following onto the opposite end of the beading wire:

  • One Czech dark blue 6mm round
  • The top loop on one spacer bar (bead side facing inward)
  • Repeat to string nine sets of:
    • One 3mm round
    • One dark blue 6mm round

Place a Bead Stopper on the end of the beading wire.

Step 7

Remove the Bead Stopper from the opposite end of the beading wire. Repeat the stringing sequence in Step 6 and replace the Bead Stopper.

Step 8

Repeat Steps 5 - 7 using the opposite ends of the safety pins.

Step 9

Attach one silver-plated 4mm jumpring to each loop on the two portions of the clasp.

Step 10

String onto one end of the first length of beading wire one sterling silver 2x2mm crimp bead, one Accu-Guard™ wire protector and the top jumpring on one portion of the clasp. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp bead. Repeat on the same end of the second length of beading wire using the bottom jumpring on the clasp.

Pull each length of beading wire so the clasp is even between the two, then crimp the crimp beads and place a place a crimp cover over the crimp bead.

Step 11

Repeat Step 10 using the opposite ends of the beading wire and the second portion of the clasp.

Step 12

String onto one 3-inch length of beading wire one sterling silver 2x2mm crimp bead, one Accu-Guard and one loop on one spacer bar (Step 3). Crimp the crimp bead then add a crimp cover.

Step 13

String the following onto the beading wire nine sets of one 3mm round and one dark blue 6mm round then string one Czech dark blue 6mm round. Place a Bead Stopper on the end of the beading wire.

Step 14

Repeat Steps 12 and 13 using the second loop on the same spacer bar.

Step 15

Remove the Bead Stopper and string onto the end of the first length of beading wire one sterling silver 2x2mm crimp bead, one Accu-Guard wire protector and the second jumpring from the top on one portion of the clasp. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp bead. Repeat using the end of the second 3-inch length of beading wire using the third jumpring on the clasp.

Pull each length of beading wire so they are even with the two outer strands, then crimp the crimp beads and place a place a crimp cover over the crimp bead.

Step 16

Repeat Steps 12 - 15 using the remaining 3-inch lengths of the beading wire and the second portion of the clasp.
