Necklace How-To
By Alyssa Titus

2. Materials:
Crystal beads in two sizes
Two lengths of chain
Headpins
Clasp
Bent Nose Pliers
Round Nose Pliers
Wire Cutters

3. Step 1:
Thread a bead onto a
headpin. Bend the headpin
above the bead at a
90 angle.

4. Step 2:
Trim the end to about ½ of
an inch. Begin forming the
loop with the end.

5. Step 3:
Before closing the loop,
attach it to a link in the
chain. Now close the loop.

6. Step 4:
Continue doing this with all
the smaller beads. I had 32
dangles. I also skipped a link
between each dangle to make
it sit nicely.

7. Step 5:
Attach the second length of
chain to an open link, next to
the last dangle.

8. Step 6:
With the larger beads, continue
making dangles and attaching them
the same way to the second length
of chain. I had 23 larger dangles. I
attached these to every fourth link
skipping three links skipping three
links in between. Attach the end of
the second length of chain to an
open link next to the last dangle of
the first piece.

9. Step 7:
Last, you add the clasp– I
prefer to use toggle clasps.
And you’re done!
