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 beading wire, 24 inches in length. Place a bead stopper at one end.
2. String on the beads in the following order: one 4mm blue pearl, one bead cone, one 6mm coral pearl, and one bead cap.
3. Then string on one 8mm blue pearl, one bead cap, one 6mm coral pearl, one bead cap, one 4mm blue pearl, one bead cap, one 6mm coral pearl, and one bead cap. Repeat 13 times.
4. Next string on one bead cap, one 6mm coral pearl, one bead cone, and one 4mm blue pearl.
5. String on one crimp bead. Thread the wire up through one wire protector and back down the other side and through the crimp tube. Pull snug and crimp the crimp tube. Trim any excess wire. Open one jump ring and attach it to one lobster clasp and to the wire protector. Close the jump ring.
6. Move to the other side of the necklace, remove the bead stopper and repeat the above process. This time you will be simply adding one jump ring without adding the lobster clasp.
