Step by Step
1
Cut two lengths of beading wire to measure approximately 25cm long. Thread both ends through a crimp bead, through a jump ring and back through the crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead shut.
2
Thread a nugget bead onto both of the strands tucking the wire ends at the base of the crimp bead into the bead to hide the ends. Add another crimp bead and close.
3
Keeping each wire strand separate thread on a couple of beads from the selection onto each wire. Hold the wires together and thread through a nugget bead.
4
Separate the strands and thread on a couple of beads to each strand. Bring the strands together and secure with a crimp bead.
5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the bracelet is the required length, finish with a crimp bead followed by a nugget.
6
Thread both ends of the wire through a jump ring and back through the jump ring. Tuck the ends into the nugget bead and close the crimp bead to secure.
7
Add a lobster claw clasp at one end of the bracelet. At the other end add 6cm length of chain followed by a jumpring.
8
Thread a silver bead onto a head pin. Fold the top of the head pin at a right angle and trim the wire to measure about 1cm, Use round nosed pliers to create a loop. Add to the jumpring on the end of the extender.
9
The earrings are created using the same method and using a single strand of bead wire folded in half. Simply use a crimp bead at the end of each strand to hold the beads in place.
