  Step 1

  I used a head pin because it was all I had on hand, so I had to snip off the end with my flush cutters. If you're using an eye pin, you can skip this step. For a head pin or wire piece, wrap the end around the round-nosed pliers until you have a little loop.

• 

  Step 2

  Begin sliding your pieces of sea glass onto the pin.

• 

  Step 3

  Continue adding sea glass until you have attained the desired length. You might want to arrange them first on your work surface to decide what order to put them in, since they will not be symmetrical.

• 

  Step 4

  Use the round-nosed pliers to make another loop to close off the end of the pin and secure the glass in place.

• 

  Step 5

  Your finished sea glass focal piece should look something like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach a jump ring onto the loop.

• 

  Step 7

  Thread your wire through the jump ring, and close the ring. Repeat with the other side.

• 

  Step 8

  Your necklace should look something like this.

• 

  Step 9

  If you like the length of your necklace, cut the chain at the middle, and attach a clasp component to each end. If you would like, adjust the length of the chain before adding the clasp.

Lovely- I usually go collect beach glass at least once a year and I absolutely love it. I always end up doing wire wraps though. Looks like I need to learn how to drill holes in them; this piece is wonderful.
