Follow these steps to make your beaded charm necklace:

1: Add each of the statement beads to each of the head pins.

2: Curl the tops of each pin using the round nose pliers. This will keep the bead in place.

3: Set the charms aside.

4: Put two of the crimp beads onto the tiger tail wire.

5: Add one of the jump rings.

6: Loop the wire around the jump ring and back through the crimp beads. Pull the wire tight.

7: Squash the crimp beads using the flat nose pliers.

8: Begin adding beads to the wire.

9: Bead until you get to a length you like, before the middle of the wire.

10: Add the first bead charm from the set you made earlier.

11: Add some more glass beads and then add another bead charm.

12: Continue adding charms in your chosen pattern until they are all in place.

13: And now you can add the glass beads until your necklace is at the right length and is beaded evenly so that the bead charms are at the bottom.

14: Add the second pair of crimp beads and the jump ring.

15: Loop the wire around the jump ring and back through the crimps and the last few beads on the strand.

16: You should now pull the wire tight and squash the crimps with the flat nose pliers.

17: Now you can trim the excess wire with cutting pliers.

18: Open one of the jump rings and attach the lobster clasp. Close the ring to secure the clasp in place.

So now your necklace is finished and ready to wear! So so cute. What necklaces will you layer yours with?

Or maybe you’ll wear it as a statement on its own?!
