Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com and today I'm going to show you how to make the pave crystal birthstone necklace from our Pave Crystal birthstone necklace kits and they are available in all the different colors for the different birthstones and there's also an earring kit available this is just for the necklace I'm going to show you how to do that piece What you'll receive in that kit is one finished chain necklace, one crystal pave bead two bead aligners, two Crystal bicones one head pin and a jump ring so the first thing you're going to do is take your head pin. If it's a little bent, you'll just want to just straightening it. Onto your head pin place one of the bicone beads, place one of the bead aligners with the wide end at the bottom place your pave bead and then you're going to place the other bead aligner with the wide end of the top so that the narrow ends go into the hole of the bead and then place your second bicone. Now we're going to create a wrapped wire loop To start this you're going to take a pair of chain nose pliers and grab just above the bicone making sure that the beads are pushed all the way down with the very tip of the pliers and then bend the top of the head pin all the way over. Use a pair of round nose pliers to grab just above the bend you're going to bend back around rotate your pliers and finish that loop so it's a complete circle you wanna end with your head pin facing at a 90 degree angle to the little piece of head pin that's sticking up here wrap this tail around that little stem use your other pair of pliers to hold on to the end and wrap and you're going to wrap until you fill up the space until you get close to that bead use a pair of flush cutters to trim the end, the extra little tail then you want to use your chain nose pliers to tuck the end in so that it's not sharp. You can also use them to straighten out your loop if it get's bent and you're going to take your jump ring. You wanna find the joint where the jump ring opens. Use a chain nose plier and a second plier which in this case can be round nose, it can also be a second pair of chain nose grab to either side of the opening and twist the two sides away from each other to open, hang your new pendant off of the the jump ring and then you want to place the chain of your necklace inside the jump ring and twist the two sides back to me to close your jump ring and that's all there is to it and you have a very pretty piece of birthstone jewelry.
