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.

Please note that some crimp beads act as just pretty gold beads in this project. Do not crimp any of the strung crimp beads unless directed to do so.
  1. Begin this project by cutting 2 lengths of beading wire that are 15 inches long each. Line up their ends and place a single bead stopper on both of them, 4 inches from the ends.
  2. Onto each of the wires, string on 1 crimp bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 6mm pearl. Next take a 8mm bead double strand spacer bar and thread each one of the wires through each of the holes (1 wire per hole).
  3. String onto each of the wires 1 6mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 8mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 6mm pearl. Next take a 8mm bead double strand spacer bar and thread each one of the wires through each of the holes (1 wire per hole).
  4. String on 1 6mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 crimp bead.
  5. Bring both wires together at this point and feed them both through 1 spacer bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead. You have completed 1 full scallop.
  6. Repeat steps 2 - 4 to make a second scallop.
  7. Repeat steps 2 - 4 again to make your third scallop but leave off the very last spacer bead of step 4.
  8. Thread both wires through a crimp bead. Separate out your clasp. Take both your wires and feed them through the loop on one half of the clasp and then go back through the crimp bead. Pull so that you have just a little bit of wiggle room for the clasp. Crimp your crimp bead using the very back notch of the Xuron 4-in-1 crimping pliers. Trim excess wire and place a crimp bead cover over the crimp bead.
  9. Go back to your starting point and remove the bead stopper from this end. Feed both wires through 1 spacer bead, 1 4mm pearl, and 1 crimp bead. Take both your wires and feed them through the loop on one half of the clasp and then go back through the crimp bead. Pull so that you have just a little bit of wiggle room for the clasp. Crimp your crimp bead using the very back notch of the Xuron 4-in-1 crimping pliers. Trim excess wire and place a crimp bead cover over the crimp bead.
  10. All done! Enjoy!
