Description

These lovely big blue and white flowery beads remind me of willow pattern plates! Floral beads in a variety of colours and all other items in this project are available from Beads Unlimited.

Instructions

  1. Small mj1303pfig1

    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.

  2. Small mj1303pfig2

    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. Small mj1303pfig3

    Make a beaded length of all of the silver spacers and another of the remaining wooden beads in the same way.

  4. Small mj1303pfig4

    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. Small mj1303pfig5

    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.

  6. Small mj1303pfig6

    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.
