Directions:
Step 1:Cut 24 inches of Beadalon.   String a crimp bead and a toggle on to the Beadalon and double back through the crimp bead.  Snug up the crimp bead to the toggle and crush the crimp bead.  Cut off excess stringing material.

Step 2:  String a silver spacer bead, an oval, a silver spacer bead and 5 crystals, repeat this sequence twice more, then string an AB leaf, a silver spacer bead, an oval, a silver spacer bead, another leaf. Then string 10 crystals, a leaf, a silver spacer bead, an oval and a jump ring.

Step 3:  Thread the Beadalon back through the last oval.  You have one side already done.

Step 4:  Repeat the same sequence of beads for the other side beginning with the silver spacer bead, an AB leaf and 10 crystals until you come to the crimp bead and the other end of the clasp.  Double back with the Beadalon through the crimp bead and crush the crimp bead.  Cut off excess Beadalon.

Step 5:  To finish it up, make the dangle by threading on a head pin a flat heishi and an AB leaf and using a wire cutter, cut off the excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using flat nose pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using a round nose pliers bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop, and close it but not tightly.

Step 6: Attach it to the jump ring already on the necklace and then close the loop tightly.   Your Emerald necklace is complete.  Enjoy!
