Instructions:
-
Begin by creating eye links for the center bib section of the necklace. With 13 eye pins slide on 13 Silk colored crystals, one on each eye pin, then turn a loop on the opposite end of the eye pin to create your first row of the bib.
-
Repeat turning eye pins in the same manner as before with 11 Vintage Rose, 9 padparadscha, 7 Lt. Siam, 5 Ruby, 3 Fuchsia, and 1 Rose crystal.
-
Now using the Ball Head Pins turn an eye loop at the top of each after sliding one crystal per head pin, of the following colors: 1 Lt Rose, 2Rose, 2 Fuchsia, 2 Ruby, 2 Lt. Siam, 2 padparadscha, and 2 Vintage Rose.
-
Begin linking them together by gently opening an eye loop to the side and before closing back up slide another eye loop on. Please see above photo for pattern, top row is Silk, second row is Vintage Rose, third row is padparadscha, forth is Lt. Siam, fifth is Ruby, sixth is Fuchsia, seventh is Rose and the longest length center is Lt. Rose. Each dangle will end with a crystal Head Pin.
-
Using your beading wire slide one 2x2mm crimp tube, one 4mm crystal, and one end of the toggle clasp, then thread your wire back through the crystal and crimp tube, pull snug and crimp to secure. Trim off excess wire.
-
Create your own pattern of 4mm crystals or mimic ours, but slide on 40 crystal beads.
-
Then begin adding the dangles for the center bib section. Slide one of the two piece dangles on to the wire, place two 4mm crystals in between each dangle as you go. Add one of the three piece dangles, two 4mm crystals, add one of the four piece dangles, two 4mm crystals, one of the five piece dangles, repeat adding two crystals in between each dangle until you get to the one eight piece dangle (center).
-
After reaching the center dangle you will now want to mirror the first half of the project. Once the center bib section is complete, then add the other 40-4mm crystals. To finish slid eon one 2x2mm crimp tube, one crystal, and the other end of the toggle clasp, thread wire back through the crystal and crimp tube pull snug and crimp to secure. Trim off excess wire.
