How to make:
Necklace
Stainless Steel Headpins Gold Color 5cmYou start with a piece of copper wire of about 1m. At the bottom turn a ring. Thread 8 Miyuki beads and then an acrylic bead. Then thread the copper wire through the bottom miyuki bead and pull it tight so that the miyuki beads wrap around the acrylic bead. Then thread 10 more miyuki beads onto the copper wire and thread the copper wire through the top miyuki bead you threaded in front of the acrylic bead. Pull this tight again until all the miyuki beads are around the acrylic bead. Do this five times and then twist another ring on the end. Your intermediate piece is then finished. Cut two pieces of chain from the jasseron. How long you need to cut these pieces depends on how long you want your chain to be. Here we have cut pieces of 17cm. Attach the pieces with a jump ring to the intermediate piece you just made. At the end of the pieces of chain, make two jump rings with a snap fastener on one side, and an extension chain on the other. Attach the coins with the 6mm jump rings between the acrylic beads of the intermediate piece, and then your chain is ready.
Earrings:
Cut a piece of the star jasseron with two star rings attached. Thread a bead onto a headpin, tip it short and twist a ring onto it at the end. Do this three times. Then attach a stud earring to the star jasseron, then attach the acrylic beads to the star jasseron with the head pins, and your earrings are finished.
