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. Cut two pieces of chain eight inches in length and set them aside.
2. Move on to making the pendant. Onto a copper headpin, thread a 4mm dark red coral Austrian crystal bicone and a fluted antiqued copper bead. Create a wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire. Onto another copper headpin, thread a 4mm crystal copper Austrian crystal bicone and a diamond cut out antiqued brass bead. Create a wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire.
3. Open two small antiqued brass jump rings. To one of the jump rings, add the red lucite maple leaf and the headpin dangle containing the brass bead and the crystal copper bicone. To the other jump ring, add the brown aspen leaf and the headpin dangle containing the copper bead and the dark red coral bicone. Close the two jump rings.
4. Gently pry open the antiqued brass pinch bail, only wide enough to fit over the large Austrian crystal leaf pendant. Line the two prongs of the pinch bail up with the hole in the Austrian crystal leaf pendant and carefully squeeze it shut using either your fingers or a pair of nylon jaw pliers.
5. Now open the extra large Vintaj brass jump ring. Thread the following on in this order: one of the eight inch lengths of chain, the jump ring containing the brown lucite aspen leaf and headpin dangle, the Austrian crystal leaf pendant, the jump ring containing the red lucite maple leaf and headpin dangle, and the other eight inch length of chain. Close the large jump ring again.
6. To one end of the chain, add the jump ring part of the clasp. To the other end of the chain, add the other part of the clasp.
