Instructions

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.

This necklace measures approximately 36 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively. You will also need a paper towel for this project.
  1. Begin by adding the Vintaj Patina to the cap of the tassel. Using a paint brush dab on the color and quickly dab off the excess with a paper towel. Repeat this process until you have your desired coverage. Set aside.
  2. Cut the Sun Link chain into two equal lengths of 6 inches. Cut the chains so the two lengths match in links. If you have one extra link; either sun or crystal we will add that the the back of the necklace.
  3. Next cut the rolo chain so that you have the following lengths: 2 inches, 11 inches and 11 inches.
  4. Open one jump ring and attach it to the loop of the tassel.
  5. Open another jump ring and attach it to one end of the 2 inch length of chain and to one end of the sun link chain. Thread the rolo chain through the jump ring of the tassel. Open another jump ring and attach the second length of the sun chain to this end of the rolo chain.
  6. Move to the end this sun chain, attach one length of the 11 inch rolo chain using another jump ring. Then use another jump ring to attach one link left over from the sun chain.
  7. On to the other side of the link you just added attach a jump ring and attach it to the second length of rolo chain. Finally, connect this rolo chain with the other side of the sun link chain to complete the design.
