Step 1: Place the last link on one end of the cup chain into a cup chain finding. Using chain or flat-nose pliers, close the finding to secure it to the cup chain.

Step 2: Place a Swarovski crystal bead onto a head pin. Finish the head pin with a wrapped loop to form a crystal bead drop.

Repeat to create drops using all the beads and headpins.

Step 3: Using two pairs of pliers, add a jumpring to a Swarovski baguette pendant.

Repeat for the 2nd baguette pendant.

Step 4: Use 6mm and 8mm jump rings to connect a series of links together. Use oval jump rings to add crystal bead drops in a pattern of your choice
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”987″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Step 5: Add two 6mm jump rings to 3 large connectors, 4 medium connectors and 5 small connectors. Use oval jump rings to join a 6mm jump ring on each connector together. Repeat, linking connectors together to form a chain.

Step 6: Use a jump ring to join the assembly from Step 4 to the first large connector in the chain created in Step 5.

Step 7: Use a jump ring to connect a small link to the same jump ring used to join the two sections together in Step 6. Pass the length of leather through the small link and bring the ends of the leather together (the link will now be at the center of the leather).

Step 8: Form a coil of wire on the barrel of a pair of round-nose pliers. Trim any excess wire from each end.

Step 9: Slide the coil over both ends of the leather cording; slide the coil down toward the fold.

Step 10: Using a pair of pliers, compress the end of the coil toward the leather cording, so the coil stays in place and secures the cording.

Step 11: Using a jump ring, gather the cup chain finding on the end of the paradise shine cup chain and the jump ring joining the connector chain and the assembly from Step 4 together.

Step 12: Bring the two ends of the leather cording together. Trim to equal the length of the link connector chain. Add a cup-chain fining to the ends of the leather. Compress the finding to secure it to the leather cording.

Step 13: Trim the paradise cup chain to equal the length of the leather cording. Add a cup chain finding to the last cup in the cup chain. Use a 6mm jumpring to join the cup chain findings on the leather and cup chain to the last small link connector in the connector chain.

Step 14: Use 6mm jump rings to gather up a few crystal bead drops and join to connector links along the length of the connector chain. Repeat using up the crystal bead drops and baguette pendants.
