To make a ribbon flower, thread a 4mm pearl onto a headpin. Cut 25cm of ribbon, fold one end of the ribbon in by 1cm. Push the headpin through the ribbon so that the fold is on the opposite side to the bead. Weave the headpin through the ribbon at approximately 1cm intervals.
Push the ribbon along the headpin towards the bead as tightly as possible. Trim the headpin 1cm along from the ribbon, bend into a loop and close. This will act as a stopper for the ribbon. Repeat to make ten more flowers.
Cut 45cm of chain. Attach a flower to the centre of the chain by opening the left hand side of a connector with your pliers, close the connector. Work out from the centre adding a flower to each connector until you have added the remaining flowers in the same way.
. Thread a 4mm bead onto a headpin. Trim 1cm above the bead bend into a loop, attach a heart connector and close the loop. Add an eyepin to the heart connector, thread on a 6mm bead. Trim the eyepin 1cm above the bead, bend into a loop making sure the loop is in the same direction as the eye of the eyepin, add a second heart and close the loop.
Use a 5mm jump ring to attach the beaded section to the centre link of the chain. Repeat to add a beaded section to each link with a ribbon flower. Add just a 4mm bead on a headpin and a heart connector to each of the links at the ends of the ribbon flower section.
Use a 5mm jump ring to attach a trigger clasp to one end of the chain.
