  Step 1

  Necklace
  Use the tip of your multi pliers to
  bend five small loops in an eyepin.
  This is a little tricky so take your
  time and squeeze with the flat part
  of the piers to make the loops even.
  Make four more looped eyepins.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut five 30cm lengths of plastic coated wire. Take one length,
  thread the end through a crimp,
  bend into a loop and pass back
  through the crimp. Squeeze with
  the hole nearest the plier handles
  to make a ‘v’ shape. Use the other
  hole on the pliers to make it round.
  Repeat for the other lengths and
  add a crimp cover.

• 

  Step 3

  Thread each length of plastic
  coated wire through a loop in the
  eyepin. Add a 4mm pearl to each
  length and pass them through a
  second looped eyepin.

• 

  Step 4

  Thread the beads on as follows:
  Wire 1 – 1x4mm, 9x6mm, 1x4mm. Wire 2 – 17x4mm. Wire 3 –
  4mm, 11x6mm, 4mm. Wire 4 – 21x4mm, wire 5 – 4mm, 13x6mm,
  4mm pearls. Thread on a looped eyepin. Mirror the order of the
  beads for the second half of the necklace. Pull tight and add crimps,
  trim the excess wire and crimp
  covers to each length in the
  same way as step 2.

• 

  Step 5

  Thread a 4mm pearl onto an
  eyepin, trim 1cm above the bead,
  bend into a loop in the same
  direction as the eye add the locket
  and close the loop. Use a 5mm
  jump ring to attach the loop of the
  eyepin to the bottom of the looped
  eyepin in the centre of the necklace.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut a 17cm, a 16.5cm and a 16cm length of chain. Attach the
  longest to the two bottom wires of the necklace with a 7mm jump
  ring. Add the medium length to the centre wire and the shortest
  chain to the two top wires. Join the ends of the chain with a jump
  ring and add a second jump ring. Repeat for the other side and add
  your trigger clasp instead of the second jump ring.

• 

  Step 7

  Earrings
  Thread nine 4mm beads onto a headpin. Trim 1cm above the bead,
  bend into a loop and close. Make another and a third with seven
  6mm beads on. Open the loop of an eyepin and attach one of the
  4mm beaded headpins, close the loop. Thread on a 4mm bead, the
  6mm beaded headpin and another 4mm bead. Trim 1cm above the
  4mm bead, bend into a loop, add the remaining beaded headpin
  and close the loop. Attach a 5mm jump ring to the loop top of the
  centre headpin, add a long ballwire and close the jump ring. Repeat
  to make a pair.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut five 25cm lengths of plastic coated wire. Make six looped eyepins. Attach each wire to a loop in one of the eyepins. Add crimps
  and crimp covers. Thread on a 4mm pearl to each, followed by a
  looped eyepin. First section: Wire 1 -1x4mm, 5x6mm, 1x4mm, wire
  2 – 10x4mm, wire 3 - 1x4mm, 5x6mm, 1x4mm, wire 4 10x4mm,
  wire 5 - 1x4mm, 5x6mm, 1x4mm and add a looped eyepin. Middle
  section: Wire 1 -1x4mm, 10x6mm, 1x4mm, wire 2 – 18x4mm, wire 3
  - 1x4mm, 10x6mm, 1x4mm, wire 4 - 18x4mm, wire 5 - 1x4mm,
  10x6mm, 1x4mm and add a looped eyepin. The end section is the
  same as the first. Add the crimps and crimp covers to mirror the
  other end. Add a jump ring to the middle loop of the end eyepins.
  Attach a trigger clasp to one and a second jump ring to the other.
