Irish Sea Necklace Tutorial

Simple Loop Tutorial

String a bicone onto a Vintaj natural brass 1.5-inch 21 gauge head pin and make a simple loop at the top of the bead. Repeat once for a total of two bicone dangles.

Remove a link featuring a larger fire-polished bead from the Beadlinx Totally Turquoise beaded brass oxide chain. To do this, open the loop on each end of the bead. You can reattach the chain if desired. Remove the bead from the link and string onto a head pin. Make a simple loop at the top of the bead to create a fire-polished dangle.

 

Open the loop of a bicone link and attach the fire-polished dangle you just made. Close the loop. Attach the top of the bicone link to a Vintaj natural brass 6mm rib cable 18 gauge jump ring. Attach another bicone link to this jump ring. Remove a link featuring a small round bead from the Beadlinx chain by opening the loops. Attach this link to the bicone link. Attach the antique bronze crab teardrop charm to the bottom of the round bead link. Attach the 6mm jump ring to a Vintaj natural brass 9mm rib cable 15 gauge jump ring.
