Tips
Use jump rings as a necklace
extender when you need a little extra
length

Step One
Thread 6 cats eye chip and 6 crystals alternately onto the centre of the nylon thread. Then thread one end of the nylon thread through the last crystal and pull both ends of the thread to form a loop.

Step Two
Continue to thread alternate cats eye chips and crystals on each thread until the necklace is the desired length.

Step Three
Thread a crimp bead, then thread on one jump ring onto each end of the nylon thread. Form a loop that holds the jump ring, thread the wire back through the crimp bead and squeeze the crimp bead closed. Cut off any waste thread.

Step Four
Attach four jump rings and a lobster clasp to one end and five jump rings to the other end to form the fastening.

Earrings
Thread 3 cats eye chips and 3 crystals alternately onto the silver hoop, then attach the hoop to an earwire.
