- Begin by using your flush cutters (XTL-5600) to cut two pieces of medium weight Soft Flex; one at twenty inches long and the other at twenty-four inches long. Secure one end of each with a Bead Stopper (XTL-3000).
- Onto the shorter strand thread a galvanized frosted pewter Delica, a 15/0 black charlotte seed bead, another Delica, and a 2mm round Howlite bead. Repeat this stringing pattern until you have seven and a half inches strung.
- Add an additional Delica, a black seed bead, and another Delica, and then thread on the Green Girl "Seek" eye shaped pendant.
- Thread an additional seven and a half inches of the stringing pattern used on the first half of your necklace. Secure the opposite end of the necklace and set it aside.
- Onto the longer Soft Flex strand thread eighteen inches of the following repeating stringing pattern: a black Czech seed bead, a silver Delica, another black Czech seed bead, and a 2mm round Howlite bead.
- Onto your strand, thread the other Green Girl pendant. You are able to string this pendant last since the bail is large enough to slide over the entire strand, unlike the smaller pendant.
- Remove the Bead Stoppers from both strands and thread a crimp bead on each end, but do not crimp it yet.
- Thread each end through its own 8mm closed jump ring, back through the crimp beads and several consecutive beads on the strand. Pull each end until the wire is snug against the jump ring and crimp each bead. Trim off all excess wire.
- Open two of the smaller gunmetal jump rings and use them to attach the lobster clasps to one end of each necklace. Close the jump rings again.
