  • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather the wire, beads, pendant, toggle, and pliers needed for the project.
    Start with Wire Working: Cut a piece of 24 gauge wire and use round nose pliers to form a loop. Mark the pliers with a Sharpie for consistent loop sizes.
    Create the Coiled Link: After making a loop, coil the wire around itself for a few wraps. Cut off excess wire with wire cutters.
    Attach the Pendant: Insert the pendant into the loop before completely coiling the wire. This attaches it to the wire chain.
    Add Beads: Slide beads onto the wire, followed by creating another loop and coil to secure them in place.
    Continue Linking: Repeat the process of looping, coiling, and adding beads to extend the necklace to your desired length.
    Finalize the Design: Attach the toggle clasp to the ends of the necklace, completing the project.
