Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Pass a red jasper bead onto an eye pin. Form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of eight links.
Pass two red jasper beads onto an eye pin. Form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of six links.
Pass a 4mm picture jasper bead, a 6mm picture jasper bead and a 4mm picture jasper bead onto an eye pin. Form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of 14 links.
Connect the links together in the order shown in the image to create two strands.
Step 2
Cut a 10-inch length of ParaWire™.
Step 3
Wrap the wire once around a small circular object, such as a pill bottle. Pass through the bail of the Wedjat pendant. Wrap around a second time, passing through the bail again. Adjust the wire as needed so one circle rests just inside the other.
Wrap the end of the wire twice around the double loop to secure. Repeat approximately 1/2 inch away.
Step 4
Place the ring created in Step 3 on a steel block so that the wrapped portion is hanging off the edge. Position the pendant so it's out of the way. Use the ball of a hammer to flatten the loops.
Step 5
Attach the picture jasper ends of the strands to the ring, outside the wrapped portion.
Open a jump ring. Slide on the red jasper end of one strand and half a toggle clasp. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the other end.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
Pass a 4mm picture jasper bead, a 6mm picture jasper bead and a red jasper bead onto an eye pin. Form a simple loop.
Attach an Wedjat charm to the red jasper end and an ear wire to the other end.
Repeat to create a second earring.
