1. You will begin by making the longer necklace. Cut 39� of wire with your flush cutters.
2. String on your clasp then loop the wire back through the crimp bead (you want a short tail of about 3 inches of wire). Pull snug so that you have a small loop.
3. Using your crimp pliers, crimp your crimp bead. Snip off any excess beading wire from the short tail using your flush cutter.
4. Begin stringing on your pale green luster beads. You will string on 103 beads.
5. Once you've strung all your beads, take the end of your wire and string it through another crimp bead. Add a jump ring and loop the wire back into the crimp bead. Pull your wire snug so that your beads all line up neatly.
6. Using your crimp pliers, crimp your crimp bead. Snip off any excess beading wire. Your first necklace is done. Set aside.
7. For your second necklace, cut 26� of wire with your flush cutters. (This necklace will have some slight variations, but a similar process).
