Instructions:
- Begin by using a pair of flush cutters to cut your silver plated teardrop krinkle chain into lengths that measure 2 1/2", 2", 1 1/2", and 1".
-
Next, place one 4mm rosaline Swarovski crystal bicone bead onto a 1.5", 22 gauge silver plated head pin. Create a simple wire loop about 1/2" above the crystal bead. Repeat with three more head pins. It is pretty if you have the finished lengths of your head pins slightly different, by about 1/8". See photo for reference.
-
Hang two of the head pins with beads from one 1.5", 22 gauge silver plated eye pin. Thread the eye pin through a 15mm crystal frost white lucite bell flower and then through a 20mm light rose pink lucite bell flower, stacking the lucite flowers together.
-
Take a silver plated cone flower bead cap and gently bend the petals in with your fingers to make the shape more cone-like. Slide the bead cap onto the eye pin and down onto the back of the 20mm pink lucite flower. Create a wrapped wire loop after the bead cap.
-
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to create a second flower bunch.
-
Place a 4mm crystal Swarovski bicone bead onto a 1.5" head pin. Then thread the head pin through a 10mm rose lucite bell flower and then through a 15mm crystal frost white lucite bell flower.
-
Take a silver plated cone flower bead cap and gently bend the petals in with your fingers to make the shape more cone-like. Slide the bead cap onto the eye pin and down onto the back of the 15mm crystal frost white lucite flower. Create a wrapped wire loop after the bead cap.
-
Repeat steps 6 and 7 to create a second flower bunch.
-
Use a 3mm silver plated jump ring to hang one of the larger flower bunches from the 2 1/2" length of chain, making sure that you loop the jump ring through the larger end of the chain link. Repeat this process with the other large flower bunch and the 1 1/2" length of chain.
-
Use a 3mm jump ring to hang one of the smaller flower bunches from the 2" length of chain, through the larger end of the chain link. Repeat this process with the second small flower bunch and the 1" length of chain.
-
Use a 4mm, 22 gauge jump ring to hang the loose end of all four chains from the loop on a silver plated 4" hair pin.

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.
