If I can do it, you can do it!! :)

MATERIALS

  1. Assorted crystal beads
  2. Soft Clear Illustrated Cord (fishing wire would work as well)
  3. Crimp Beads 1.3mm
  4. Flat Head Wire Crimp
DIRECTIONS:

Step One:
Cut Cord to your likings

Step Two:
Thread crimp bead to end of strand. This is where the bottom of the hanging crystal strand will start.


Step Three:
Thread beads

Step Four:
Leave about 3-4 inch gap before moving on to the next set of beads. REPEAT steps 2 and 3 until you get your desired length.

Step Five:
When you get to your desired length, thread one last crimp bead. Then thread through the same crimp bead again creating a loop.


Step Six:
Crimp it

and BAM! You've got yourself a pretty awesome hanging crystal :)
