Please note that you are purchasing 2 feet (24 inches of chain) for this project. The instructions below will teach you how to make a 16 inch long necklace. You will have enough chain to make up to a 24 inch necklace if you choose to do so.
- To make the focal for this necklace, please watch the video: How to Make a Beaded Bead with 2-Hole Honeycomb Beads. Through the course of the video, you will learn step by step how to bead weave the beaded bead and trap that larger Swarovski faux pearl inside.
- After you have completed your beaded bead, set it aside while you start to construct the necklace.
- Cut 16 inches of your beading chain. Onto one end, secure a crimp bead with loop.
- Slide your beaded bead onto the other end of the chain via the hole in the large Swarovski bead.
- Secure a crimp bead with loop onto the end of the chain.
- Open a jump ring and link it to one of the secured crimp beads loops. Close the jump ring.
- Open a second jump ring and link it to the other side of the necklace and also link on the loop at the base of your lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
- All done!
