Tranquil Tiger Necklace & Earrings

Step 1

Cut 30" of cord. String the beads on in the order shown using a collapsible needle (optional). You may have to adjust the amount depending on your neck size.

Step 2

To attach your clasp, feed the cord through a crimp tube then through the toggle loop. Bring the cord back down through the crimp tube.

Step 3

I bring my cord around and through the crimp tube one more time. make sure to pull the tube close to the toggle loop.

Step 4

Feed the cord down through a few beads and trim. Crimp the tube using a crimping tool. Use pliers to close a crimp cover over the crimped tube. Do the same on the other side to attach the toggle bar.

Step 5

Cut a 6" piece of wire twitst the wire together at the top. Trim one wire tail off. Use round nose pliers to create a loop at the top. Start wire wrapping the wire around the top of the teardrop. Trim the wire on the back side. Flatten the cut wire so it doesn't stick out.

Step 6

Create a bead link by sliding the beads onto an eye pin. Create a loop on the opposite end with pliers or a looper. Follow the tip below if you need help.

Step 7

Attach the eye in to the ear wire using the end of the bead link that you made a loop on. Open the loop on the bottom or use jump rings to attach the teardrop charms you made. Close the loop tight.
