Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut two 6-inch lengths of long and short oval chain, one 4-inch length of cable chain and one 20-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
Step 2
Pass one 1-1/2 inch headpin through one blue 3mm bicone then form a simple loop to create one blue bicone drop. Repeat to create a total of 6 blue bicone drops.
Repeat, using one clear 4mm bicone in place of the blue 3mm bicone, to create one clear bicone drop. Repeat to create a total of three clear bicone drops.
Step 3
Pass the 4-inch length of cable chain through one 15x5mm curved tube bead so 1-1/2 inches of the chain hangs from the left side of the tube and 2-1/2 inches hang from the right.
Pass one 4mm jump ring through one link of the cable chain just inside the right portion of the curved tube and the loop of one clear bicone drop then close. Repeat to secure one clear bicone drop to the first link of cable chain inside the left side of the curved tube to secure the chain in place.
Step 4
Use one 4mm jump ring to connect one 22mm snowflake charm to the short end of the cable chain. Use one 4mm jump ring to connect one 13mm snowflake charm to the long end of the cable chain.
Continue to use 4mm jump rings to connect four more 13mm snowflake charms, one more 22mm snowflake charm and the remaining bicone drops to the cable chain as you see fit to complete the necklace component.
Step 5
String onto the 21-inch length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp, then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire.
