Astral Meadow Necklace Set

Step 1

Cut 19" of strand wire. Use round-nose pliers to make 12 bead charms with a head pin and a fancy jasper rondelle. Form a loop at the top of the bead, then wrap the wire around the base of the loop. See the tip below if you need help.

Step 2

Slide the star focal on first using a 4mm jump ring to the center of the cord. Slide on the beads in the order shown on either side of the focal. My beaded portion of the necklace is about 13".

Step 3

Slide the strand wire through a crimp tube, then up through the wire protector. Bring the wire back down through the wire protector and tube. Use crimping pliers to crimp the tube. Use pliers to close the crimp cover. Attach the clasp to the end with a jump ring.

Step 4

Cut two 3.5" pieces of chain. Attach the chain pieces to the wire protectors with jump rings.

Step 5

For the second chain necklace: Cut a 15.5" piece of chain. Make 6 more bead charms using the fancy jasper rondelles and headpins. Attach the sun charm to the center of the necklace using a jump ring. Attach the bead charms with jump rings to every other chain ring. Attach the clasp to the end with a jump ring.
