Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Necklace
    Thread the 12mm miracle
    bead onto an eyepin. Trim the
    eyepin 1cm above the bead, bend
    into a loop, add an 8mm jump ring
    and close the loop. Attach the
    wooden heart to this jump ring.

  2. 2

    Thread a 6mm miracle bead
    onto a headpin. Bend the headpin
    into a loop approximately 1cm
    above the bead. Hold the loop
    with the pliers and wrap the
    remaining wire tightly around the
    headpin towards the top of the
    bead. Repeat for all the miracle
    beads.

  3. 3

    Cut five 1.5cm lengths of
    chain. Use a 5mm jump ring to
    add a thre’ penny charm and
    turquoise beaded headpin to
    the bottom of each length.

  4. 4

    Attach an 8mm jump ring to
    one of the lengths of chain, add an
    orange beaded headpin and
    attach to the bottom of the wooden
    heart. Make sure the beaded
    headpins are sitting in front of the
    chain and charm. Repeat to add
    the other chains to the holes in the
    bottom of the heart so they are a
    symmetrical.

  5. 5

    Add a turquoise beaded
    headpin to the 8mm jump
    underneath the 12mm orange
    miracle bead.

  6. 6

    Cut 72cm of chain. Thread
    one end through an 8mm jump
    ring. Add an 8mm jump ring and a
    trigger clasp to one end and an
    8mm jump ring to the other.
    Attach the loose jump ring to the
    top loop of the beaded eyepin.

  7. 7

    Earrings
    Use 5mm jump rings to add the thre’ penny charms and turquoise
    beaded headpins to the bottom of the wooden round coin.
    Thread a rocaille and a 6mm wooden bead onto a headpin.
    Trim 1cm above the bead bend into a loop and close.
    Open a 5mm jump ring, thread
    the wooden round coin and the
    beaded headpin on and close the
    jump ring.
    Open another 5mm jump ring,
    add the long ballwire and beaded
    section and close the jump ring.
    Repeat to make a pair.
