1
Cut a 60cm length of plastic coated wire.
Thread on a crimp, pass the wire back through
to make a loop and squeeze the crimp flat. Use
a crimp cover to hide the crimp. -

Thread on a 6mm wooden bead, all of the
plastic beads and another wooden bead. Add a
crimp, thread the wire back through the crimp
and a few beads, pull tight to make a loop and
squeeze flat. Add a crimp cover. -
3
Make a beaded length of all of the silver
spacers and another of the remaining wooden
beads in the same way. -

Use a 5mm jump ring to attach one end of the
beaded length to the left hand side of a connector
and the other end to the right hand side of the
remaining spacer. -
5
Attach the wooden strand to the centre of one
of the connectors and the spacer bead to the
remaining loop. Wrap the
wooden strand and the
spacer strand loosely
around the floral beads
and attach them to the
other connector. -

Cut two 12cm lengths of chain. Attach one to
each of the connectors with an 8mm jump ring.
Add an 8mm jump ring with a trigger clasp to one
of the chains and an 8mm jump ring to the other.
