Instructions
- Using the Wire cutters, cut nine- 1 inch pieces of chain, and one- 4 inch piece of the curb chain.
- To begin assembling the dangles, use one of the large jump rings, as a bail, for each of the larger hearts, before closing the jump ring, add a 1 inch piece of chain to two out of the three of them. Attach the four 10mm hearts and two drops, using a smaller 5mm jump ring to connect to the 1 inch pieces of chain; then attach a jump ring on the opposite side to match.
- Using small jump rings, connect one end of the 4 inch piece of chain (slide on the remaining large heart), to the first loop of the pendant, before closing loop, add one of the chains with small drops, and a small drop( to the jump ring, above chains), then close. Attach other end of chain to the opposite side of pendant in the same fashion.
- Connect remaining piece of chain to one side of the remaining open holes on the pendant, using small jump rings, and adding the fifth 10mm heart, and a drop crystal (on top of the chain on the jump ring).
- Cut two 6in pieces, and one 18in piece of stringing wire. Thread one 6in piece stringing wire, slide a crimp bead onto wire, then wire through bar side of toggle; double back through the crimp bead, slide crimp towards the toggle bar until snug. Crimp to secure. Repeat using the other small piece of wire and second bar of toggle closure.
- String, one 4mm rose, one 6mm crystal AB, one 8mm rose, one of the large heart dangles, one 6mm crystal AB, one 4mm rose, one 6mm crystal AB, one 8mm rose, one of the 10mm heart dangles, one 6mm crystal AB, 4mm rose , and a crimp bead. Run beading wire through one of the loops at the top of the pendant link, double back through the crimp until snug and crimp to secure. Conceal your mechanics using a crimp cover. Attach a heart dangle to each of the toggle bar loops.
- Repeat Step 6.) Using the other 6in piece/ toggle bar, to create the opposite side.
- Create the rest of the necklace by crimping the 18in piece of wire the heart loop of one of the closures. String in the following pattern: 4mm rose, 6mm crystal AB, 8mm rose, 6mm crystal AB, 4mm rose. Repeat 14 times.
