Method
1. Using your chain/snipe nose pliers open the 10mm jump ring and thread on the tagua nut pendant and the heart charm, close the jump ring using your chain/snipe nose pliers.
2. Take two 50cm lengths of beadalon and crimp them both to the lobster clasp using one 2x2mm sterling silver crimp bead and your crimp forming pliers. Snip off any excess wire using your side cutters.
3. On one strand of the wire thread on 20 delica beads, then thread on a bali dot rondelle bead, then another 40 delica beads, another bali dot rondelle etc (continue this pattern until you have threaded on 8 bali dot rondelles, ensuring that you finish with 40 delica beads).
4. One the other strand of wire thread on 40 delica beads, then thread on a bali dot rondelle bead, then another 40 delica beads, another bali dot rondelle etc (continue this pattern until you have threaded on 8 bali dot rondelles, ensuring that you finish with 20 delica beads).
5. Thread the jump ring with the tagua nut pendant and charm onto both strands of delica beads.
6. Attach the remaining two ends of beadalon to the 5mm closed jump ring using one 2x2mm sterling silver crimp bead. Snip off any excess wire using your side cutters.
