What You'll Need
|
Instructions:
- First, thread one of the olive jade serpentine four leaf clover beads onto a headpin. Create the beginning of a wrapped wire loop at the top of the head pin. Slide the loop onto the small loop at the bottom of the antiqued brass bail before completing the wrapping. Trim off excess wire. Set the completed pendant aside.
-
Cut a piece of beading wire that is approximately twenty-two inches long. Secure one end of this strand with a Bead Stopper (XTL-3000).
-
Onto the strand, thread the following: a brass oxide heishi spacer, a 5mm serpentine round, another heishi spacer, and a rhyolite puff oval bead. Repeat this stringing pattern a total of eleven times.
-
You have now reached the center of the necklace. Thread on a heishe spacer, a 5mm serpentine round, a heishi spacer, a 5mm serpentine round, a heishi spacer, and the clover pendant. The pendant should sit right between the two central 5mm serpentine rounds.
-
From this point on, string the remainder of the necklace as a mirror image of the first half.
-
When you have reached the end of your stringing, thread a brass crimp bead on, but do not crimp it yet. Thread the end of your strand through the loop on the bar half of your toggle clasp, back through the crimp bead and several consecutive beads, and crimp your bead.
-
Remove the Bead Stopper and repeat the previous step on the other end of the necklace using the other half of the toggle clasp. Trim off all excess wire.
