Let It Snow Necklace
About this design:
By Tracy Gonzales - The twinkle of those pave beads is like moonlight reflecting off of freshly fallen snow.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 2 TierraCast Snowflake Charms
- 1 TierraCast Snowflake Pendant
- 1 TierraCast Spiral Clasp
- 11 Sm. Oval Jumprings
- 2 Med. Oval Jumprings
- 11 2x2mm Crimp Beads
- 11 3mm Crimp Covers
- 8 2" 24g Headpins
- 8 TierraCast Sterling Silver Round 2mm Beads
- 2 Med. Oval 20g Jumprings
- 15" Silver Oval Cable Chain
- Soft Flex Extreme Medium Sterling Silver (925) Beading Wire
- 4 Crystal AB Pave 8mm Beads
- 4 Crystal AB Pave 12mm Beads
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Use 1 med. oval Jumpring to attach the clasp bar to one end of the chain. Use 1 med. oval jumpring to attach the clasp ring to the other end of the chain. |
|
Step 2: String one 2mm bead onto a headpin. String 1 pave bead. Form a wrapped loop at the top. Repeat with remaining pave beads. |
|
Step 3: Cut a 7” length of beading wire. String the Snowflake pendant to the center of the wire. Thread both ends of the wire through a crimp bead until the hanging loop is about 1 ¾” long. Form a small loop at the top by threading 1 end of the wire back into the crimp bead. Secure with crimping pliers. Cover crimp bead with a crimp cover. Repeat process with the Snowflake charms, making them various lengths. Repeat process again with all pave beads, varying the lengths of the beading wire as desired. |
|
Step 4: Use a sm. oval jumpring to attach the Snowflake Pendant dangle to the center link of the chain. Use sm. oval jumprings to attach the remaining dangles as desired. |
