Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 19-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire and two 1/2 inch lengths of French wire.
Step 2
Attach one bail to one 24x19mm Santa Claus charm.
Step 3
String onto the length of beading wire: one crimp and one length of French wire. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the French wire leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.
Step 4
String onto the beading wire:
- One emerald green 4mm faceted round
- 17 sets of:
- One 4x2mm heishi
- One light red 6mm faceted round
- One 4x2mm heishi
- One emerald green 6x2.5mm rondelle
- One 4x2mm heishi
- One light red 6mm faceted round
- One 4x2mm heishi
- One emerald green 4mm faceted round
Step 5
String one 2x1.5mm round crimp and one Santa Claus charm (sliding the bail over the crimp) onto the beading wire then repeat Step 4 in the opposite direction.
Repeat Step 3 to secure the strand.
Step 6
Pass one 4mm jump ring through one half of the toggle clasp and the French wire on one end of the strand then close. Repeat with the second half of the toggle clasp.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
String one light red 6mm faceted round and one 4x2mm heishi onto one 1-inch eye pin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a second link.

Step 3
Attach one Santa Claus drop to the heishi end of one link. Attach one ear wire to the opposite end of the link.
