  Step 1

  For this necklace, you'll need a filagree pendant in the rough shape of an eye, an eyeball charm or bead, some curved tube beads and any other crystals and pearls you'd like to add.

• 

  Step 2

  Have a few shots at arranging the beads before you begin to find a look you like.

• 

  Step 3

  Slip a pearl onto a headpin and using pliers, bend and twist the end into a loop.

• 

  Step 4

  Repeat this for the remaining pearls.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut a long length of gold or bronze wire and attach it to the bottom of the pendant by winding it through a few of the holes.

• 

  Step 6

  Once secure, slip on the first pearl and knot in place.

• 

  Step 7

  Attach another pearl along the base and then bring the wire through to the front of the pendant.

• 

  Step 8

  String a tube bead onto the wire and bring it back down into the pendant base in the middle.

  Step 9

  Attach a third pearl bead here.

• 

  Step 15

  Attach another tube bead and crystal then bring the wire back down to the pendant.

  Continue doing this along the top of the pendant to look like eyelashes, finishing at the other side with another tube bead, crystal, tube bead, heart bead and jump ring.

• 

  Step 17

  String two more tube beads along the top of the pendant like you did at the bottom.

  Step 18
