Directions:
Step 1-
First you will make a bail on the Yellow Jade Circle Pendant.
Cut a 3" piece of Softflex, string on about 1" of Bead Soup mix, string
on Pendant, and string on one crimp. Take the starting end of the Softflex
strand and string through the crimp bead, pull both ends tightly which
creates a circle/bail, crush the crimp and trim the ends. Set aside
for later.
Step 2 -
Cut three 22" pieces of SoftFlex. String SoftFlex through a crimp
bead, make a loop through top clasp connector and back through the crimp
bead. Crush the crimp bead and trim the end. Repeat with second strand
(middle connector) and third strand (bottom connector).
Step 3 -
String top strand as follows:
1/2" of Bead Soup mix, 1 SL Gold 4mm cube, 1 Moonstone chip, 1 SL Gold
4mm cube, repeat 15 times. Add an additional 1/2" of Bead Soup mix.
Add Bead Stopper or tape end, strand should measure about 14 1/2".
Step 4 -
String middle strand as follows:
1 1/2" of Bead Soup mix, 1 SL Gold 4mm cube, 1 Moonstone chip, 1 SL
Gold 4mm cube, repeat 7 times. Add an additional 1 1/2" of Bead Soup
mix. Add Bead Stopper or tape end, strand should measure about 16".
Step 5 -
String bottom strand as follows:
2" of Bead Soup mix, 1 SL Gold 4mm cube, 1 Moonstone chip, 1 SL Gold
4mm cube, repeat 6 times. Add an additional 2" of Bead Soup mix.
Add Bead Stopper or tape end, strand should measure about 18 1/2".
Step 6 -
Now you will attach the strands to the other side of the clasp.
I prefer to close the clasp prior to attaching the strands. Add one
crimp bead to the top strand, make a loop through the top clasp connector,
back through the crimp bead, crush the crimp bead, and trim the end. Add
one crimp bead to middle strand, make a loop through the middle clasp connector,
back through the crimp the bead, crush the crimp bead, and trim the end.
DO NOT FORGET THE FOLLOWING ....Add your bailed pendant to the bottom strand
and slide to center, now add one crimp bead to bottom strand, make a loop
through the bottom clasp connector, back through the crimp bead, crush
the crimp bead, and trim the end.
This necklace has a finished length of 15" of top strand to 19" on pendant
strand. Enjoy!
