Quick Project Steps

Gather your materials: Potomax EVA beads, chain, head pins, and tools.
If needed, use an 11/0 seed bead at the end of your head pin to prevent slipping.
Thread three EVA beads onto a head pin, bend the pin to the side, and create a small loop.
Attach the end of the chain to the loop, securing it by wrapping the wire around.
Repeat the process for both sides of the necklace, ensuring symmetry.
Finish by attaching a lobster clasp with a jump ring for closure.
Explore alternative designs by adjusting the bead orientation or using different wire techniques for varied looks.
