Tools & Supplies Needed:

|
Step 1. Cut 8 strands of Beadalon approxiamately 5.5" in length, plus one strand of Beadalon 17" or however long you want the necklace to be plus 1 inch. |
|
|
Step 2. Attach to each end of the shorter Beadalon lengths one crimp bead, one B5205J bead and your choice of 1, 2, or 3 B50004J beads. If you are using the SCT1 crimp beads, use the crimping pliers to make the crimp bead smaller and less noticeable. If you do not have crimping pliers, use the SB875 micro crimps. |
|
|
Step 3. Attach one length of the longer Beadalon strand through one loop of the toggle and attach with a crimp bead. |
|
|
Step 4. String the following in this order: 5 Swarovski Rounds, 1 crimp bead, 1 Elongated Bicone, 1 crimp bead, 3 Swarovski rounds. Repeat this pattern until you have 8 Elongated Bicones on the strand, and end the strand with 5 Swarovski rounds instead of 3. DO NOT crimp the crimp beads, we will do this in a later step. Allow all the beads to slide freely on the Beadalon. Attach the other end of Beadalon to the remaining toggle loop and attach with a crimp bead. |
|
|
Step 5. With all the beads still moving freely, slide one end of each of the shorter Beadalon strands we assembled in Step 2 through the Elongated Bicone plus it's matching crimp bead on either side on the longer strand. String the following in this order on each shorter strand: 1, 2, or 3 Swarovski Rounds, 1 Elongated Bicone and 1 crimp bead. |
|
|
Step 6. Now we can crimp the crimp beads on the longer strand and complete the necklace. Space out each set of 1 Elongated Bicone with it's matching crimp beads on each side evenly across the necklace. Start crimping the crimping beads at one end and continue until you have finished. |
