Dangle 2 (x2): 1 Headpin, 1 6mm Bead, and 1 10mm Bead
Dangle 3: 1 Headpin, 2 6mm Bead,1 10mm Bead and 2 Snowflake Spacer Bead
2. Make the beaded connectors for the chain. Take the 0.5mm brass wire and string the following beads: 1 x 6mm Bead, 1 x Snowflake Spacer Bead, 1 x 10mm Bead, 1 x Snowflake Spacer Bead, 1x 6mm Bead. Next, make the wire wrapped loops on both ends. The amount of connectors needed depends on your desired length of chain.
3. Wrap several S-spiral components. Cut 10cm long of aluminum wire and curve two ends inwards in opposite direction.
Step 2: make the unique necklace pendants
Take another segment of aluminum wire, about 20cm long. Curve one end inwards several times. Thread on the beaded danglers and Tibetan bead alternatively. Finally, make a spiral at the other end of the wire.
Step 3: design your necklace chain
Assemble the beaded connectors and S-spiral components alternatively using jumprings.
Once the chain reaches to a desires length, you’ll have finished your handcrafted wire jewelry necklace.
