Fairy Circle Necklace

Instructions

1. Remove two 20-inch sections of each color wire.

2. Create six lavender rondelle coiled dangles.

3. Create six swirled rondelle coiled dangles.

4. Attach wires to one end of the clasp, one of each color on each loop of the clasp with purple to the outside, using two crimp tubes. Use chain nose pliers to pull the two wires through the crimp, leaving room for play between crimp tube and clasp.

5. Uncross wires inside of tubes and crimp. Clip off excess wire tails flush to the bottom of crimp tube, leaving longer strands for making the necklace.

6. Slide 10mm round on two center green wires.

7. Slide inner and outer wire on one side through a lavender rondelle.

8. Slide inner and outer wire on opposite side through a swirled rondelle.

9. Place inner wires (should be green) through another blue round.

10. Continue weaving wires in and out of beads, alternating placement of lavender and swirled rondelles each time.

11. The key to these designs is tension--not too taut but not too loose. As you work, continue to slide the beads down the wire and create tension.

12. When you reach the final blue round, work your way back through the wires to adjust the tension. The choker should be fairly flexible but also have a definitive form. The spaces between the beads should be equal to support this form.

13. Attach wires to opposite end of the clasp as before. Keep the design rounded to maintain form as you crimp. Make sure wires are crimped evenly.

14. Attach textured circles to the bottom of the choker using two pairs of chain nose pliers to open jump rings. Place the circles after the first large bead in the pattern and after each large bead as you continue along the choker.

15. Attach the pre-made coiled dangles, starting with lavender and alternating between lavender and swirled rondelles hanging from the bottom of the textured circles using jump rings.

16. Check back through design to ensure all jump rings are properly closed.
