Enlightened New Year Lotus Necklace

Instructions

1. Cut a 36" length of 20 gauge wire.
2. Use the image of the lotus leaf necklace pendant as a guide. Fold the wire in half.  Shape the middle of the wire into a long center lotus leaf.
3. Shape another lotus leaf on each side of the middle leaf then repeat one more time for a total of five lotus leafs. Use pliers to pinch the ends of the leaves.
4. Once all the leaves are formed, bring each end of wire through the tops of the leaves to secure them.
5. Form the wire ends into a wrapped loop that lays just above the pendant.
6. Cut an 8" length of 24 gauge wire. Slide the middle of the wire through a raindrop pendant. Form the wire into a wrapped loop that attaches the raindrop pendant to the pinched end of the center lotus leaf.
7. Cut two lengths of chain to desired length.
8. Use a single 4mm jump ring to connect one end of both lengths of chain to a lobster clasp.
9. Attach a single 6mm jump ring to both of the other ends of the lengths of chain. Attach lobster clasp to 6mm jump ring.
