Retired - Midnight Garden Necklace

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by cutting off a length of 20 bars of chain which is about 18 inches. Set this aside.
2. To make the dangles, take one headpin and string on one pearl. Make a wrapped wire loop. Set aside. Repeat 6 more times for a total of 7.
3. Take one eye pin and string on one 4mm bicone, one 6mm bicone, and one 4mm bicone. Make a simple wire loop. Set aside. Repeat 6 more times for a total of 7.
4. Open the loop of one eye pin with the bicones on it, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to one wrapped wire loop pearl. Close the loop. Repeat for the remaining pieces.
5. Now lay the length of chain out on your work surface. From the left, count 7 bars in. On the center jump ring between bars 7 and 8 open the loop of one dangle component and attach it to the jump ring. Close the loop. Move over one bar at a time and attach the other 6 dangles in the same manner making sure that they are all hanging down by attaching them to the bottom side of the center jump ring. This will help in preventing flipping when worn.
6. Finally, attach one jump ring to one end of necklace, and one jump ring and one lobster clasp to the other end of the necklace.
