STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Creating the pink flower Cut an arm span of nylon thread. Slide the beads in the following order: round crystal - seed bead - round crystal - bicone - metal spacer - bicone
Then cross the both threads into the 1st round bead.
Step 2: For easy reference we will label left thread as LT and right thread as RT. On your RT slide in a bicone, metal spacer, bicone, round bead and seed bead.
Insert your LT into the seed bead on your RT shown in arrow.
This is how it should look like. The threads are now crossing into a seed bead.
Pull the threads.
Step 3: On your RT slide in 2 seed beads then insert your LT into the seed bead shown in arrow.
Pull the thread and this is how it should look like.
Step 4: Insert your LT into the nearest round bead shown in arrow.
On your LT slide in the beads in the following order: bicone - metal spacer - bicone - round bead
Cross the RT into the round bead shown in arrow.
Then going to your right, continue to insert the RT into the nearest seed bead and bicone shown in arrows.
Step 5: On your RT slide in a bicone, metal spacer and a bicone.
Then cross LT into the bicone, metal spacer and bicone on your RT.
Pull the thread. You have your pink flower.
Step 6: Creating the tail/dangle Now, take LT and pass back thru 2 sets of bicones and metal spacers shown in curved arrows.
On your LT slide in 6 seed beads, teardrop crystal and 5 seed beads.
Then pass LT back thru the seed beads shown in arrow.
Pull the thread and as you pull, continue to pass thru the next set of bicones and metal spacer shown in bracket.
Then pass LT into the next seed bead, bicone, metal spacer and bicone shown in bracket. Now, you have the both threads crossing each other again and ready to create the necklace.
Step 7: Creating the necklace with Figure 8 Technique On LT slide in the following: 3 seed beads, bicone, 3 seed beads On RT slide in the following: 3 seed beads, bcone, 3 seed beads, round bead
Then cross LT into the round bead like shown in this picture and pull. Repeat Step 7 twice and create 2 more circles.
Step 8: Necklace Variation You can continue to repeat Step 7and lengthen you necklace with the Figure 8 Technique until you reach your desired length or you can choose to slide in 10 seed beads and cross into a bicone like shown in this picture.
You can also choose to slide in just seed beads.
Step 9: Attaching the calotte When you reach the end of your necklace or your desired length, pass both threads into a calotte followed by a crimp bead
Press the crimp bead with your flat nose pliers and then close the calotte. Repeat the Step 9 for the other end of the necklace
Step 10: Attaching the clasp Open a jump ring and attach onto the calotte followed by your lobster clasp.
Step 11: Attaching the chain Repeat Step 9 how to attach the calotte for the other side. Attach a jump ring onto the calotte, followed by a chain.
