Note: For this particular project I chose to make the necklace rather short so that the pretty crystal pendants rest higher up along the neckline. If you prefer a longer necklace, the project kit ingredients allow you to make one up to 24 inches long - just cut your chain length longer in the first step.
- Cut your beading chain to your desired necklace length, I chose to cut mine at 15".
- Slide your three briolette pendants onto the chain, with the largest one in the middle.
- Onto one end of the necklace attach a crimp bead with loop.
- On the other end of the chain, fasten another crimp bead with loop.
- Open a 4mm jump ring and connect it to one of the crimp bead loops. On the other end of the necklace, open the jump ring at the base of your lobster clasp clasp and attach it to the crimp bead loop.
- All done!
