Directions
Step One – Create Pendant
1. Add the 20mm Blue Crazy Lace Agate Puff Coin to the Silver-Plated Eyepin. Make a 90° bend in headpin just above beads. Using round nose pliers (or any pliers you have) hold the headpin near the angle and bend it around the pliers to make a loop. Wrap down around headpin creating as many coils as you can. Trim any extra.
2. Rondelle Drops (8 total) – Add one 8x5mm Light Champagne AB crystal Rondelle to a Silver-Plated Headpin. Make a 90° bend in headpin just above beads. Using round nose pliers (or any pliers you have) hold the headpin near the angle and bend it around the pliers to make a loop. Wrap down around headpin creating as many coils as you can. Trim any extra. Repeat 7 times.
3. Open one 5mm Jump Ring and add 4 Rondelle Drops and the loop (the one you did NOT create) of the Eyepin. Close the jump ring.
4. Open one 5mm Jump Ring, add 4 Rondelle Drops and the Jump Ring you added in Step 3 (make sure you add the new jump ring in the middle of the Rondelle Drops from Step 3 so there are 2 Rondelle Drops on either side on the new jump ring). Close the jump ring.
Step Two – Create Necklace
1. Start the necklace by taking a crimp bead and string it onto one end of the Buddy Braids about a ½” from the end.
2. Take the clasp and string it onto the same end of the Buddy Braids the crimp bead is on.
3. Take your Buddy Braids and string it back through the crimp bead. See Illustration 1.
