~*Princess Diamond Necklace*~ Materials: 1 pkg rocaille crystal beads (8 grams) 1 pkg 4 mm crystal cut beads 1 pkg 8 mm crystal cut beads 3 head pins 21 inches of fishline or invisible jewelry wire (longer or shorter to fit) Clasp of choice 2 crimping beads Round nosed pliers Needle nose pliers Aileene's Tacky Glue First, prepare the crystal drops. Take a head pin jewelry wire and thread one 4 mm bead followed by one 8 mm bead. Use the pliers to cut the excess wire, leaving enough to curl into a loop. Using the round head pliers, bend the wire into a loop. Use the needle nose pliers to squeeze the loop into place if necessary. Repeat this process two more times. Next, thread a crimp bead on the fishline and loop the line through the loop in one side of the clasp. Thread the end of the wire back through the crimp bead. Apply pressure to the crimp bead until it is holding both pieces of the fishline securely. Add a drop of Aileen's Tacky Glue to the crimp bead to ensure that it won't slip. When the glue has dried, you can begin the beading. I will call the rocaille beads small, 4mm will be medium and 8mm will be large. Thread 20 small beads. Follow with this combo: one medium, five small, the drop you made earlier, five small, one medium, five small, another drop, five small, one medium, five small, the last drop, five small, and one medium. Finish it off with 20 more small beads. Thread the line through the other crimp bead and then through the other half of the clasp. Go back through the crimp bead and squeeze the bead with the needle nose pliers. Add a drop of glue to the crimp bead and let it dry*~
