1. Cut a section of Beadalon a few inches longer than your
desired finished necklace length. The example pictured
starts with 20” of Beadalon and is approx. 18” when
finished.
2. String a crimp bead at one end of the Beadalon, make a
loop, and crimp (following crimping instructions on cover
letter).
3. String the pattern pictured (quartz wheel, purple fiber optic,
lavender fiber optic, purple fiber optic, quartz wheel,
lavender fiber optic) 10 times, then add another wheel
followed by a purple, a lavender, a purple and a final wheel
to make the strand symmetrical. String a crimp bead, make a
loop, and crimp. Adjust the number of repetitions for a
different necklace length.
4. Attach one piece of the toggle clasp to each loop of the
Beadalon using split rings.
5. Place one lavender fiber optic bead on a ball-end head pin
and make a wrapped loop.
6. Add the flower drop pendant to a jump ring, then link the remaining 2 jump rings into a chain, and attach the fiber optic
dangle from step 4 to the third jump ring.
7. Insert the donut into the donut bail and squeeze gently to align the loops.
8. Add the pendant chain from step 6, the donut and the flower pendant to the triangle bail, and attach the triangle bail to the
large loop of the toggle clasp.
TIP: By design, split rings are much
more secure than jump rings. Jump
rings may be substituted, but be sure
to close them completely so the
Beadalon doesn’t slip out!
