Steps:
Necklace:
Cut five 1 1/4" lengths of Beadalon® 49 Strand wire. Set them aside for Step 3.
Cut a 17 1/2" length of Beadalon® wire. String a crimp bead 1/2" from the end. String the Beadalon® wire through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp bead. String seed beads for 4".
String a crimp bead, an 8mm bead and another crimp bead onto the Beadalon® wire but don't crimp the crimp beads yet. Place a 1 1/4" length of Beadalon® wire through the crimp beads and 8mm bead. Adjust it so the wire is centered inside the 8mm bead. Crimp the crimp beads. String a 6mm bead and a crimp bead onto each end of the 1 1/4" wire. Crimp the crimp beads. Repeat this step five times, 1 3/4" apart.
String seed beads for 4". String a crimp bead and place the Beadalon® wire through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp bead.
Earrings:
Cut a 2" length of Beadalon® wire. Hold the ends together and string a 6mm bead onto the wires. Push it up the wires to create a 1/8" loop. String a 6mm bead and a crimp bead onto each end of the wire. Crimp the crimp beads. Attach the top loop to an ear wire.
