Step by step
-
Step 1
Create the flower using crystals and tiger tail, using crimps to keep the crystals in place. Mount this on a piece of 20r wire loosely shaped like a cursive 'V' with loops on each of the stems (these loops are what the tigertail of the necklace will thread through).
-
Step 2
Make the double strand necklace by stringing the crystals and spacers along the length, adding the flower piece where desired. Finish the necklace appropriately.
-
Step 3
Make matching earrings by threading on to headpins the bicones and daisy spacers as desired.
