Instructions for Summer Butterfly Necklace

Techniques Used Basic Linking technique (PDF) Opening & closing chain (like a jump ring)

Tools Needed Round nose pliers Chain nose pliers or flat nose pliers Flush cutters

Step By Step Instructions

1. Take the Vintaj Fine Oval Chain and remove seven (7) individual links, and set the remaining chain aside. (Note: with the Vintaj chain, you won't need jump rings. It is even easier if you use 2 chain nose pliers, one in each hand, to open and close the loops of the chain, as it is fairly stiff.)
2. On a 1" eye pin, place one Vintaj Oval Wrap Filigree bead and make a simple loop. Assemble four (4) of these components.
3. On a 1.5" eye pin, place one Glass Sea Shell Shape bead and make a simple loop. Assemble two (2) of these componets.
4. Assembly --
   • Use one chain link to attach one filigree bead component to the wing of the Vintaj Filigree Butterfly Pendant (use top corner hole).
   • Use another chain link to attach one sea shell component to the filigree bead component you just attached.
   • Use a third chain link to attach a second filigree bead component to the sea shell component you just attached.
   • Repeat the above three steps to the other wing of the butterfly pendant (again, using top corner hole).
   • Using the remaining chain you set aside in Step 1, divide the chain in half.
   • Open an ending link on one half of the chain and attach it to the filigree bead component at one end of the assembly. Then attach the swirl part of the Swirl Clasp Set to the other end of the chain.
   • Open an ending link to the other half of the chain and attach it to the filigree bead component at the other end of the assembly. Then attach the ring part of the Swirl Clasp Set to the other end of the chain.
5. With the last individual chain link, dangle the glass teardrop off the link of one of the butterfly wings.
   

Easy peasy!
