Instructions: (choose Aquarius or Pisces Zodiac charm and beads based on Zodiac sign colors)
1. Slide a small glass bead, 3mm gold round, small glass bead, 3mm gold round, and a small glass bead onto an eye pin. Trim the stem and form a loop to make a beaded link.
2. Slide a 3mm gold round, large glass bead, and a 3mm gold bead onto an eye pin. Trim the stem and form a loop to make a beaded link. Repeat this step to make a total of four beaded links.
3. Slide a small glass bead, 3mm gold round, large bead, 3mm gold round, and a small glass bead onto an eye pin. Trim the stem and form a loop to make a beaded link. Repeat this step to make a total of two beaded links.
4. Slide one small glass bead and one 3mm gold round onto a head pin. Trim the stem and form a loop to make a beaded drop. Repeat this step to make a total of two beaded drops.
5. *Cut four 1” lengths and two 7” lengths of gold cable chain. Cut 1” of gold extender chain (from the findings pack).
6. Use a 4mm jump ring to connect the loop at the top of the zodiac charm to a loop on one end of the beaded link from step 1. Use another 4mm jump ring to connect one beaded drop from step 4 to the same bottom loop of the beaded link (so the drop hangs down on the front of the zodiac charm).
7. Use a 4mm jump ring to connect one end of two beaded links from step 2 to the top loop of the beaded link from the previous step.
8. On one side of the necklace, continue by connecting the following, in order, to the top loop of the last beaded link on that side of the necklace: 1” chain, beaded link from step 3, 1” chain, beaded link from step 2, and a 7” chain. Repeat this step on the other side of the necklace.
9. Use a 4mm jump ring to attach a lobster clasp to the end of the gold cable chain on one side of the necklace.
10. On the other side of the necklace, use a 6mm jump ring to connect one end of the 1” extender chain to the end of the gold cable chain. Use a 4mm jump ring to attach the remaining beaded drop (from step 4) to the other end of the extender chain.
(*Chain lengths can be adjusted to make necklace longer or shorter.)Get the Supplies
