Instructions

Assemble the components: 

1. Pick  up a long eye pin and place a small melon bead on it. Then thread the eye pin through the holes in the Glazed Clay Large-Heart-Swoosh bead.  Place another melon bead on the other side of the heart bead.  Make a simple loop on the end.  Trim any excess wire with your flush cutters.  
2. Make four of the following components:  On a large eye pin, thread a leaf bead cap, a glazed clay oval bead, and another leaf bead cap.  Make a simple loop on the other end, trim the wire if needed.
3. Create four round links from the Antique Brass Round/Oval Ring Chain. To separate the round links from the chain, use your chain nose pliers to gently loosen or unroll the little metal pieces joining the chain links until you can separate them.
4. Assemble the Necklace: Opening and closing the headpin loops, string the heart bead, the wire circles, and the oval beads components in the order shown on the website picture.
5. Next separate the chain into two equal size chains (6 alternating ovals and circles each).  To separate the chain links, 5rtgently open the little metal pieces joining the chain links until you can separate them.
6. Attach a 6-link chain to the clay oval component on one of the necklace ends.  Make sure you attach the round, not the oval, piece of th4e chain to the clay component.
7. Repeat Step 6 on the other side of the necklace.
8. You can adjust the necklace length by removing one or more links from the chain.
9. Attach the loop on the Oval Swirl Clasp to one side of the necklace chain.  You may need to bend it slightly to have it lay flat as it attaches to the other side of the necklace chain.
