Directions:    
Begin by making the dangles.  Make three dangles: onto each eye pin place 1 Red Crystal Teardrop, 1 S/L Seed Bead, 1 Clear Crystal Teardrop, 1 S/L Seed Bead, and 1 Cobalt Crystal Teardrop.  To finish these, cut off any extra eye pin leaving approximately 3/16".  Use a round nose pliers and make a finishing loop at the top of each eye pin.  Open your jump ring, insert your Star Charm and then loop into one dangle and close.  Set these aside for the moment.

Using a flat nose pliers, make a loop at one end of your memory wire.  Begin stringing 1 S/L Seed Bead, 1 4mm Red Round Crystal, 1 S/L Seed Bead, 1 4mm Cobalt Round Crystal, and repeat until you have used 14 Red Crystals.  Now, loop on one of your dangles, add a Red Crystal, a seed bead, a Cobalt Crystal, a seed bead, a Red Crystal and then your dangle with the star. Continue with a Cobalt Crystal, a seed bead, a Red Crystal, a seed Bead, a Cobalt Crystal and then your last dangle.  Finish your necklace by repeating the pattern until you have used the last 14 Red Crystals ending with a seed bead.

Cut off any excess memory wire, leaving enough to make your final loop.  Make the last loop and your all done!  Wear your new necklace with Pride!
