Retired - Black & White Mod Necklace & Earring Set

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. We are going to start by making the necklace. Cut 24 inches of beading wire and string the tip through a crimp bead.
2. String on your clasp then loop the beading wire back through the crimp bead (you want a short tail of about 3 inches of beading 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. String your beads onto your wire starting with one large black bead followed by three small black/white beads. Repeat this sequence 10 more times followed by a large black bead at the end.
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.
6. Using your crimp pliers, crimp your crimp bead. Snip off any excess beading wire. Your necklace is now ready.
7. For the earring, please follow the instructions below, remembering to repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
8. Take your head pin and string on one black and white bead, one large black bead, followed by another black and white bead.
9. Once the beads are on, make a simple wire loop after the last bead using your round nose pliers.
10. Open up the loop in your earring hook (like you would a jump ring) and attach it to the simple wire loop and close. Your earring is ready.
11. Enjoy your cool mod necklace and earring set!
