Choose a bead, Soft Flex wire, and Artistic wire that compliment each other.
Use Soft Flex® Flush Cutters to cut 2 inches of Artistic wire from the spool. Form a wrapped loop that attaches to one half of the clasp. String 1 Fire Polished bead and form a wire wrapped loop.
Use 2 inches of Artistic wire to form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to the previous wire wrapped loop. String 1 Fire Polished bead and form a wire wrapped loop.
Repeat Step 3 twice.
Repeat Steps 2-4, using the other half of the clasp.
Use Flush Cutters to cut 2 inches of Artistic wire from the spool. Form a wire wrapped loop on one end of the wire. String 1 Fire Polished bead and wrap the wire up and around the bead. Coil the wire once around the wire above the bead. Trim excess wire. Repeat entire step to create 10 dangles.
Use Flush Cutters to cut two 12 inch strands of .019/Medium wire from the spool. Please note: this will not be the length of the entire necklace, the '4-bead chains' on instructions #10 will add the needed length to fit around your neck
Use one wire to string 20 Fire Polished beads. String 1 dangle and 1 Fire Polished Bead ten times. String 19 Fire Polished beads. Attach one Bead Stopper to each end of wire.
Use the second wire to string 49 Fire Polished beads.
Use the Bead Stoppers to clip the ends of both strands together, allowing the beads to slide back and forth on the excess wire.
Use Flush Cutters to cut 45 inches of .010/Very Fine wire. Use one end of wire to pass through the first bead strung in Step 8. Use the other end of wire to pass through the first bead strung in Step 9. Pull the wires all the way through the beads, pulling them together.
Cross the wires and pass through the next beads on the opposite wires. Push the beads down and pull the .010/Very fine weave tight. Repeat for the entire length of the necklace, weaving the wires back and forth through each bead.
After weaving through the last beads, cross the wires and pass back through the bead in the opposite strand. Tie the .010/Very fine in a square knot, right over left and left over right. Cut off excess wire.
Remove 1 Bead Stopper and use both wires to string one 2mmx2mm crimp tube and the last wire wrapped loop on one half of the clasp. Pass back through the tube and secure the wires using Magical Crimping Pliers. Use Flush Cutters to trim the excess wire.
Repeat Step 14 for the other half of the necklace.
