Instructions:

TIP:
If you were starting out this type of necklace and didn’t know the length of wire to use, start with inexpensive fishing line to do a “trial run”. Then unstring your components and measure how much fishing line you used.

1. Create the top part of a dangle by stringing a 6mm crystal donut and a 4mm bicone onto an eye pin. Make a closed loop at the top.

2. Repeat step #1 four more times.

3. Create the bottom part of a dangle by stringing a helix, crystal donut, cube, 4mm bicone onto a head pin and make a closed loop at the top.

4. Repeat step #3 four more times.

5. Connect the two dangles by opening up the bottom dangle loop and slipping the top dangle loop into the bottom dangle loop. Close the loop.

6. Repeat step #5 four more times.

7. Create a mini-dangle by stringing a helix and a 4mm bicone onto a headpin and make a closed loop at the top.

8. String crimp bead and lobster clasp onto one end of the beading wire. Pass the wire end back through the crimp bead and 4mm bicone.

9. Using the crimp tool, secure crimp.

10. String the following onto the beading wire:
4mm bicone, 6mm bicone, 6mm diagonal cube, 4mm bicone, crystal donut, helix, frosted donut, 4mm bicone, 8mm cube, 4mm bicone, frosted donut, 8mm crystal donut, helix, frosted donut, 4mm bicone, diagonal cube, 4mm bicone, frosted donut, crystal donut.

11. String the following Series #1 onto the beading wire:
One side of square, diagonal cube, other side of square (this creates a framed crystal); one side of square, crystal donut, other side of square; top 2 holes of square 1, top 2 holes of square 2, top 2 holes of square 3, pass wire back through top square with crystal donut in the middle, one side of square, diagonal cube, other side of square, dangle. This is the end of series #1.

12. Repeat Series #1 four more times.

13. String the following onto the beading wire:
Crystal donut, frosted donut, 4mm bicone, diagonal cube, 4mm bicone, frosted donut, helix, 8mm crystal donut, frosted donut, 4mm bicone, 8mm cube, 4mm bicone, frosted donut, helix, crystal donut, 4mm bicone, 6mm diagonal cube, 6 mm bicone, 4mm bicone.

14. String on crimp and last chain link.

15. Pass the wire back through the crimp bead and 4mm bicone.

16. Using the crimp tool, secure the crimp bead.

17. Open up the mini dangle loop and close it over the last chain link.
