Use 3 different beads/crystal sizes for a more random look. Use 2 different beads/crystal sizes for a more streamlined look. Using just one type of bead/crystal will form a really rigid type "vine"...choice is yours. Enjoy!

Pick out the beads/stones you wish to use along with your two types of pliers and head pins.
Take your first bead/crystal and place on head pin.
Using your flat needle nose pliers, bend eye pin as shown.
Using your round needle nose pliers create the "eye" by using the bend in the head pin and creating an "eyelet" using your needle nose pliers.
Select your second bead/crystal and thread onto another head pin as shown.
Insert into the second threaded bead through the "eyelet" that you just created in the first bead.
Same as before, using your flat needle nose pliers, first create that 90 degree bend, and then grab your round needle nose pliers to create the "eyelet" in the second bead.
Thread a third Bead/crystal onto a head pin, and insert through the second "eyelet" that you created. Then create another "eyelet" on the third head pin. Continue in this manner.

Well Done! You can add a clasp, and wear it as a traditional necklace, or make a lariat. You can use any bead/crystal to create a dramatic or soft look. The choice is yours!
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. :) Lanie
