Follow these steps to make your necklace:
1: Curl one end of one of the pieces of memory wire using the round nose pliers to form a loop.
2: Add beads to the wire until there is approximately 1cm left unbeaded.
3: Curl the other end of the wire using the round nose pliers again to secure the beads in place.
4: Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the second piece of memory wire.
5: Attach the two pieces of memory wire together using two of the jump rings.
6: Attach one of the pieces of chain to one side of the memory wire arches using another of the jump rings.
7: Repeat step six for the other side of the necklace attaching the second piece of chain.
8: Attach the lobster clasp to one side of the necklace using one of the remaining two jump rings.
9: Attach the last jump ring to the other side of the necklace to finish it off.
Now your new necklace is ready to wear!
