Step by Step
1
To make the earrings – Cut beading wire to measure 12cm. Fold nearly in half and thread through one of the holes on a flower charm. Secure with a crimp bead.
2
Thread on a green diamond shaped bead and secure with a crimp bead.
3
Thread a round blue bead onto each of the tails of beading wire and secure each at slightly different lengths with a crimp bead. Trim wire flush to these crimp beads.
4
Attach an earring finding to the other hole on the flower charm.
5
Repeat to make a second earring.
6
To make the necklace – To make the central drop element follow the instructions for making the earring (but do not add the earring finding).
7
Cut chain to your preferred length. Use a single link of chain to attach the drop element in the centre.
8
Add clasp to the ends of the chain and add an extender of finer chain so you can vary the length of the necklace. Add a head pin with a blue bead to the end of the extender to finish.
