You will also need a paint brush for this project.
- Begin this project by painting the following elements with your onyx color Vintaj patina paint: the two Vintaj natural brass square dapt filigree squares, the Vintaj brass nouveau swirls toggle bar, and the Vintaj garden trellis filigree stamping. Let all of these dry and apply a second coat if the first one does not provide enough coverage.
- Place a head pin through the hole in your toggle bar and then create a wrapped wire loop on the backside of the bar. Trim off any excess wire. Put aside for now.
- We are going to be making the focal pendant for this project first. Start by placing some E6000 glue on the backside of your painted garden trellis filigree, flip over, and press into place in the center of the Vintaj brass clover petal filigree. Now put some glue along the backside of your Vintaj circle filigree ring and center into place onto of your painted garden trellis filigree. Next, put a generous amount of glue on the backside an Austrian crystal 16mm crystal rival and press into place in the center of your filigree ring. Let all of the above dry.
- Cut a length of Austrian crystal gun metal rhinestone cup chain size 24PP in black diamond that is 20 links long. Run a thin line of E6000 glue on top of the painted garden trellis filigree, right up next to the filigree ring. Into this glue line, lay your cut pice of cup chain and press into place. See picture. Let dry.
- Onto a head pin, place 1 Austrian crystal 6mm round mini bead in black diamond. Create a simple wire loop after the bead. Create a total of 5 of these and hang them from the bottom half of the clover filigree as seen in the photo. Tip: you can open their simple wire loops just like jump rings, attach them, and then close their loops back up.
- Cut a length of rhinestone cup chain that is 23 links long and attach a cup chain end to each side. Cut a 4.5" length of Vintaj flat cable chain. Cut a 5.5" length of gunmetal textured cable chain. Attach the end chain links of all 3 chains to a single jump ring (with the Vintaj chain in the middle) and then also attach this jump ring to the top filigree hole in your clover filigree. Attach a jump ring to the end chain of the rhinestone chain and attach this to one of the corners of a painted Vintaj dapt filigree square. Attach a jump ring to the end chain link of the Vintaj chain and attach this to an adjacent corner of the Vintaj dapt filigree square. Finally, attach a jump ring to the end chain link of the gunmetal cable chain and attach this to an adjacent corner (of the last chain attached) of the Vintaj dapt filigree square. See photo for any clarification.
- Cut a 3.5" length of Vintaj flat cable chain. Cut a 3.5" length of gunmetal textured cable chain. Attach the end chain links of both chains to a single jump ring. Attach this jump ring to the wrapped wire loop attached to your toggle bar. On the other end of the Vintaj chain, attach a jump ring and attach this to the same corner on the the rhinestone cup chain is attached on your dapt filigree square. On the other end of the gunmetal textured chain, attach a jump ring and attach this to the last remaining corner of the dapt filigree square (the corner that has no other chains currently attached).
- Repeat the two last steps on the other side of your necklace to complete this project. The only difference is that you will be connecting your last couple chains to the ring part of your clasp not the toggle bar.
