7” length of small silver cable chain
2 silver ear wires

Beadalon® round nose pliers

Instructions

1. Attach an ear wire to the upper loop on chandelier component.
2. String a 6mm bead and a 4mm bead onto a head pin. Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the 4mm bead. Cut off any extra wire. Repeat this step to make a matching beaded dangle. Attach one beaded dangle from Step 2 to the first and seventh loop on the chandelier earring component.
3. Cut two 1” lengths of chain. String a 4mm bead onto a head pin and make a loop to attach it to the end of the chain, repeat for the other chain. Use a jump ring to attach one piece of chain to the second and sixth loop on the chandelier component.
4. Cut a 2 ½” length of chain. Use a jump ring to attach one end of the chain to the third loop and one end to the fifth loop on the chandelier component.
5. String a bead cap, clear donut and a bead cap onto an eye pin. Make a loop to attach it to the fourth loop on the chandelier component. String a 6mm bead onto a head pin and attach it to the lower eye pin loop.
6. Repeat all Steps 1-5 to make a matching earring.

*Follow Steps 1-5 to make a matching pendant. To attach it to a necklace, string a 4mm bead, an 8mm bead and a 4mm bead onto an eye pin. Make a loop. Connect one end of the eye pin to the upper loop on the chandelier component. Connect the other end of the eye pin to two 8” lengths of chain. Use a jump ring to attach half of the clasp to each end of the necklace.
