Southwest Sunset Bib Necklace

Step 1

Cut 8 16" lengths of beading wire. Attach 2 lengths each of the loops, individually crimping each one. I put my crystals in a pile together because I wanted a random order and mix. String on then crystals. I recommend using smaller ones at the ends so the piece will lay flat. The lengths of each strand are as follows starting from the inside:
6.5"
7.5"
8.5"
9"
9.75"
10.25"
11"
11.75

Step 2

Attach your necklace to the chain. I chose a Patricia Healey chain to match my links. I removed the front 2 links and the focal connector portion of the chain by spiraling them off the rings. That way I can use them in a later project. Then taking my 2 6" lengths of leather lacing, I knotted the link to the ring on the chain on both sides. Make sure to dab adhesive into the knot to securely hold it in place. Done!
