The use of Fuchsia crystal beads increases a depth of tone in the color design.
Step One
Cut a length of chain to desired length. Using a selection of beads, attach groups of three beads to a jump ring and space evenly on the chain. Use a wire wrapping technique for beads with a horizontal hole. Take 0.4 mm wire, thread through hole and make a loop. Wrap wire around the base of the loop neatly and trim. Squeeze the end of the wire with flat nose pliers,
to ensure that there are no rough edges. For bead with a vertical hole, thread bead onto a headpin, cut the headpin to leave ¼ inch (1 cm) wire and make a loop with round nose pliers. Attach the loop to the chain.
