Winter Inspired Jewelry: A Frosted Crystal Necklace - A Jewelry-making Tutorial

In partnership with http://www.FaveCrafts.com , I am pleased to present this video on how to make this winter inspired necklace! For more free craft projects, video tutorials and craft tips, visit www.FaveCrafts.com .

The beautiful crystal effect of the sun hitting the snow inspired me to make this lovely multi-strand necklace!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

» Materials List «

• 8mm clear round glass beads
• 8mm clear faceted glass beads
• 6mm matte white faceted glass beads
• Crimp covers
• Crimp beads
• A spring ring clasp
• .019" diameter beading wire, preferably silvery white
• Wire cutters
• Crimping pliers
• Long-nose pliers
• A ruler

» Instructions «

• Measure and cut your beading wire. The length should be two times the length of your desired finished length plus 4".
• Close the loop on your spring ring clasp.
• Thread your beading wire through the clasp loop and center the clasp on the beading wire. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it near the clasp.
• String three random beads on one strand of wire and two random beads on the other strand. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it about 2" from your first crimp bead.
• String two random beads on one strand of wire and one bead on the other strand. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it about 1-1/2" from your last crimp bead.
• Continue this bead design and crimping until you have reached your desired length.
• Before you crimp your last crimp bead, string on the other half of your clasp and thread the wire ends back through the crimp bead, forming a loop. Crimp the crimp bead in place and trim the wire ends. Attach your crimp covers and close them securely.
