Step by Step
1
Cut a long piece of wire (approx 60”) and fold in half. Thread a crimp bead onto both strands and pull the crimp bead to the end of the wires leaving a small loop. Crimp the bead closed using flat nosed pliers.
2
Using a jump ring attach one end of your heart clasp.
3
Thread onto both wires 3 silver seed beads and one light and one dark crystal beads.
4
Separate the wires and thread 15 seed beads onto each wire. On the left strand thread one light blue and one dark blue bead. Thread the right hand wire back through the crystals forming a loop.
5
Repeat this process 12 times then thread 15 seed beads onto each strand then hold the wires together and thread on one light blue crystal, one dark blue crystal and three seed beads onto both strands.
6
Thread a crimp bead onto both wires and form another loop by feeding the wire back through the crimp and close the crimp bead. Cut off any excess wire neatly.
7
Attach the other end of the clasp to this loop using a jump ring.
