Necklace Instructions
Cut one 18-inch length of 22-gauge wire. Cut one 8-inch length of 20-gauge wire.
Create a simple loop at the end of the 8-inch 20-gauge wire. To learn how to make a simple loop, watch this video.
Find the center of the 18-inch length of 22-gauge wire. Wrap the center of the 18-inch wire around the 8-inch 20-gauge wire near the simple loop. Leave the tails of the 18-inch wire pointing in opposite directions.
Thread one Celestial Crystal® light blue crystal pearl onto the 8-inch 20-gauge wire and slide it down near the simple loop and 22-gauge wire.
Wrap one of the 22-gauge tails around one side of the pearl. Then tightly wrap it around the 20-gauge wire so it falls snugly against the pearl.
Wrap the other 22-gauge tail around the pearl on the opposite side. Then tightly wrap it around the 20-gauge wire so it falls snugly against the pearl.
Repeat Step 4 with the remaining pearls in the following order:
Cut the tails off the 22-gauge wire and tuck in the remaining wire.
Make a simple loop with the tail of the 20-gauge wire. Cut off excess.
Cut two 9-inch lengths of figure-8 chain. Attach one 9-inch length of figure-8 chain to each simple loop.
Attach a 10x6mm lobster-claw clasp to one end of the figure-8 chain using a 4mm jump ring. For more instructions about using jump rings, watch this video.
Attach a 4.5mm jump ring to the other end of the figure-8 chain.
