Instructions:

  1. Use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut two lengths of .019 Butterscotch Soft Flex about 18 inches long. Since this is a choker, you'll want to measure your neck so it fits snugly. The average choker is usually about 16 inches long when finished.
  2. Use one strand of wire to string 1 crimp tube and one half of the clasp. Pass back through the tube and secure using crimping pliers. Use Flush Cutters to trim excess wire. Repeat entire step using the second strand of wire.
  3. Use 1 strand to string 2 Czech Glass Beads. Use the other strand to string 1 Czech Glass Bead.
  4. Use both strands to string 1 Artistic Stone.
  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 six times. Repeat Step 3.
  6. Repeat Step 2 using the other half of the clasp.
