STEP ONE
Cut 3 lengths of soft-touch wire (at least 60
cm long).

STEP TWO
Thread all three strands through the hole in
the hinge of a crimp cover and then through
a crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead on the
end of the wires using flat nose pliers. Trim
any excess wire and close the crimp cover
over the squeezed crimp bead.

STEP THREE
Thread all three strands through one 8mm
mullberry pearl and one spacer.

STEP FOUR
Thread onto each separate strand: 1x 4mm
crystal, 1x 5mm crystal, 1x 4mm crystal.

STEP FIVE
Thread all three strands through: 1x spacer,
1x 8mm pearl, 1x spacer, and pull tight.

STEP SIX
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you use up all
of your beads. Using the set materials, your
necklace should be approx. 43cm long.

STEP SEVEN
Thread all three strands through the hole in the
hinge on the crimp cover, then through a crimp
bead. Squeeze the crimp bead as far down
inside the crimp cover as possible using flat
nose pliers. Trim off any excess wire and close
the crimp cover over the squeezed crimp.

STEP EIGHT
Attach fob clasp by opening a jumpring and
threading onto the crimp cover loop and
the t-bar loop of the fob clasp. Close the
jumpring. Repeat this step on the second side
using the circle half of the fob clasp.

EARRINGS
STEP ONE
Thread onto one headpin: 1x 8mm
mullberry pearl, 1x spacer, 1x 5mm crystal,
1x 4mm crystal.

STEP TWO
Form a loop on the headpin using round
nose pliers.

Attach the loop to an earring hook. Repeat
steps 1 - 3 for the second earring.
