Step 10: Now we begin threading beads separated by 1mm crimp beads
onto your bead stringing wire. Thread one 6mm Swarvoski Crystal
Pearl followed by a crimp bead followed by a crystal pearl bead, ect.
Thread a total of 60 6mm crystal pearl beads and 59 1mm crimp beads onto your
bead stringing wire. Do not do what I did, and accidentally pick up
your project by the wrong end. I ended up playing find the bouncing
bead. To avoid this problem, the second time I strung the necklace,
I used a
plastic hemostat clamp to hold the open end of the bead stringing wire
whenever I set the piece down. |

| Step 11: When you have strung your 60th bead, add a 2x2mm bead crimp. Loop the wire through the closed end of the second clasp that you made and back through the crimp bead. Pull the wire so that your beads and crimp bead rest securely against your clasp with minimum bead stringing wire showing. Using your bead crimping pliers, crimp the crimp bead closed and cut the excess bead stringing wire. Now hold your project at arms length and admire your classic pearl necklace. |
