Necklace Directions
Step 1. Cut approximately 16 and a half inches of Velour Tubing.

Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the top loop from the Large Peace Sign Pendant. Twist the Jump Ring closed. Slide the Pendant onto the middle of the strand of Velour Tubing.

Step 3. Onto each of 6 Head Pins, place a Siam Crystal.

Step 4. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each piece of wire 90°. Using a Side Cutter, cut off the excess from each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch. Carefully bend each 3/16-inch piece of Wire into a loop using Round Nose Pliers, and close the loops tightly. Set aside.

Step 5. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the loops from 3 of your finished Head Pins. Place the open Jump Ring onto the Velour Tubing to the left of the Peace Sign Pendant. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 6. Repeat Step 5, this time placing your open Jump Ring to the right of the Peace Sign Pendant.

Step 7. Using your Tweezers and Glue, glue a Light Siam SS9 Flat Back Crystal into the “Love” Charm. Let dry.

Step 8. Twist open another Jump Ring and insert the loop from the “Love” Charm. Insert the open Jump Ring onto the Velour Tubing to the right of the Crystals that you just attached in Step 6. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 9. Onto one end of the Velour Tubing, place a Pinch End. Using Pliers, Squeeze the bottom of the Pinch End closed onto the Velour Tubing.

Step 10. Repeat Step 9 with another Pinch End and the opposite end of the Velour Tubing.

Step 11. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the loop of one of the attached Pinch Ends and the loop of one side of the Clasp (Note: in using this particular Clasp, it is best to keep the Clasp together when attaching it to the necklace. This will ensure that it is positioned so that it will open and close correctly once finished). Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 12. Repeat Step 11 with the loop from the attached Pinch End on the opposite side of the necklace and the loop from the other side of the Clasp.

Earring Directions:
Step 1. Twist open the loop of an Ear wire and onto it, insert the loop of one of the Peace Sign Charms. Twist the loop of the Ear Wire closed tightly.

Step 2. Repeat Step 1 for the second earring. Enjoy!
