Instructions:
- Dangles:
- Dangle 1: Cut a piece of 26 gauge (WCR-4226) wire 4 inches long. Thread on a Swarovski bicone (SWC-3482) bead so that it sits in the middle of the wire. Make a briolette wire wrap. Cut off excess wire after your wire wrap. There will now be just one wire left. Thread on a cathedral bead (BCP-6410). Create a wire wrapped loop with the other side of the wire, and close. Trim off excess wire. Set aside.
-
Dangle 2: Thread onto a headpin the following beads: small brass ball (BMB-4233), a gear flower spacer (BMB-4220), and another small brass ball. Create a simple wire wrapped loop on the headpin, and trim off excess wire. Set aside.
-
Dangle 3: Thread onto a headpin a cathedral bead. Create a simple wire wrapped loop on each headpin, and trim off excess wire. Set aside.
Now move on to create the Linked Cathedral beads.
-
This necklace is relatively easy once you get the hang of making a wire wrapped loop. Begin by cutting 16 pieces of 26 gauge wire (WCR-4226) at three inch lengths. Make a wrapped loop at one end and close.
-
Add a bead to this wire. Create another wrapped loop on the other end of the wire, close to the bead, and trim off excess.
-
Take another piece of wire and begin to make a wrapped loop, but this time thread the wire loop through the loop on the previous bead segment before you finish wrapping.
-
Add a bead to this wire segment and finish the wrapped loop on the other side.
-
Continue in this manner until you have joined 4 cathedral beads together. Make 4 sets. Set aside.
-
Create a wire wrapped loop with 24 gauge wire. Thread on the pink stone (SPAG-85). Make a beginning of a wrapped loop on the other end of the wire, thread on the loops of all 4 sections of the cathedral pieces you wrapped earlier. Close the loop and trim off excess wire.
-
Create another wrapped loop with 24 gauge wire. This time first thread on a bead cap (BMB-4254) and then the Swarovski crystal (SWC-2132) form the bead cap with your fingers, gently press down the bead cap onto the crystal. Make a beginning wire wrapped loop on the other end of the wire, thread on the loops of the other end of the 4 sections of cathedral beads. (See Photo Illustration) Close the loop and trim of excess wire.
-
Create the beginning of a wrapped loop with 24 gauge wire. Add dangle number 1 to the loop. Close the loop. Thread on a bead cap (BMB-4255), a pink Swarovski pearl (SWP-1013) and another matching bead cap. Make a beginning wire wrapped loop on the other end of the wire, thread onto the loop of the large Swarovski crystal (SWC-2132). (See Photo Illustration) Close the loop and trim of excess wire.
-
Create the beginning of a wrapped loop with 24 gauge wire. Take both dangles 2 and 3 and add to the loop. Close the loop. Thread on a bead cap (BMB-4258) and the painted ceramic leaf bead ((BWC-103). Make a beginning wire wrapped loop on the other end of the wire, thread onto the loop of the loop of the pink stone bead (SPAG-85). (See Photo Illustration) Close the loop and trim of excess wire.
-
Next take a section 5-7 links (depends on your wrist measurement) long off of the chain (CHA-7130). I used 7 links for my project. Open one of the end links and link onto the large ceramic leaf bead and then close. Open a 4mm jump ring (FJR-5347) link onto the "inspire" charm (PND-7076) and then link onto the other end of the chain. Close the link.
-
Take the clasp hook, open the loop and link onto the loop of the capped pearl you made earlier. Close the loop.
-
Open a 4mm jump ring, link on the leaf charm (PND-7104). Now link onto the loop of the large Swarovski nugget bead (FJR-5347). (HINT: The same loop that has dangle #1) Close the jump ring. Youre finished!

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
