    Quick Project Steps

    Blingy crystals and pearls make this Fairytale Cluster Necklace an exciting addition to your outfit. It’s a great way to use up some of your stash. Learn how simple it is to create this whimsical piece in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
    1.With a size 10 needle pick up 10 seed beads and tie them into a loop around the hammered ring. Pick up another seed bead and then about half an inch of crystals and pearls at random. Sew back up through the beads, minus the seed bead. Create 2 more dangles from the same loop.

    3.Once you’re finished stringing and you have the length needed, add wire guards onto the ends. Loop around the beads and tie a knot and burn off the edge. Add jump rings to the wire guards and put on a lobster clasp.
