  Step 1

  Cut two 40cm lengths of ribbon. Attach a ribbon crimp to one end of each length of ribbon, cut the other end of the ribbon at an angle with a sharp pair of scissors or Beads Unlimited snippers (SNP). Set the ribbon aside.

• 

  Step 2

  Open the loop of an eyepin, attach to a 25mm round and close the loop. Thread a flattie onto the eyepin, with the cutting part of the pliers trim the eyepin 1.5cm above the bead, bend into a loop slightly larger than the other side. Attach to the opposite side of the link so that the bead sits in the centre, close the loop. (This is the side that you attach the jump rings to later). Make three more.

• 

  Step 3

  Squeeze one half of a connector onto a 20mm round link, squeeze the other end onto the first beaded link. Repeat for a second 20mm round, make sure the connectors on the beaded link sit either side of the eyepin to keep the bead in the centre.

• 

  Step 4

  Squeeze one half of a connector onto one of the 20mm rounds, attach a 25mm round to the other half. Squeeze a second connector onto the 25mm round link and attach a 20mm round, squeeze a second connector onto the 20mm round. Repeat for the second 20mm round. Attach a beaded link onto both connectors, either side of the eyepin. Repeat step 3 and this step to create a second section.

• 

  Step 5

  Add a connector to a 25mm round link, attach a 20mm round. Add a second connector and attach a 12mm round link. Repeat. Attach a connector to each side of the eyepin on the bottom of the beaded links next to the 20mm rounds. Join the 25mm round links to both beaded links.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach a 5mm jump ring to the eyepin of the beaded link on each end of the necklace. Add a chain of three 7mm jump rings to each side and the ribbon crimps.

• 

  Step 7

  To make the earrings
  Follow step 1 to make a beaded link. Add a connector to either side of the eyepin on the beaded link and attach a 20mm link to each. Add a second connector to the 20mm link and attach a 12mm link to each. Attach a 5mm jump ring to the eyepin of the beaded link, add a long ballwire and close the jump ring.

I don't understand the directions but I still want to try making one. I like all the circles.

If the flattie is the pink bead why do the directions call for only one?
