Retired - New Beginnings 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 taking an eye pin and stringing on one Austrian Crystal bead. Make a simple wire loop. Trim any excess wire. Set aside. Repeat this step five more times.
2. Cut off five bars from the bar chain and separate them from their jump rings.
3. Now to assemble the necklace: Open the loop of one eye pin with the crystal on it, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to one end of the cable chain. Repeat on the other side of the cable chain with a second eye pin.
4. On to the other sides of these eye pins, attach one bar connector to each.
5. On to the other side of these bars attach a jump ring to each.
6. Now attach one eye pin with the crystal to both jump rings. Move to the other side of this eye pin and gently twist to orient the eye pin loop so it is going perpendicular to the opposite side. Attach this side of the eye pin to the chakra component.
7. Move to the other side of the chakra and attach another eye pin with the crystal. Move to the other side and attach one bar. On to the other side of the bar, attach another eye pin, then attach another bar to the other end.
8. Then attach another eye pin but using what you had done before, gently twist to orient the eye pin loop so it is going perpendicular to the opposite side.
9. For the last two bars attach a jump ring to one side and attach the bars to this eye pin.
10. Open two more jump rings and attach these bars to the two loops of the crystal respectively.
