Firstly we are going to secure a crystal into each of the flowers using a head pin. It takes some pressure to get the pin through the wire on the flower, so be extra careful.
Using the 8mm beads and the silver spacer beads first we are going to string our first row. Attach your tiger tail to your clasp using 2 crimp beads. We are unable to use wire protectors on this clasp as the holes are not big enough. String 1 spacer, 1 8mm bead until you reach the point that you want your first flower bead to sit, finish with a spacer bead. Take your wire through the loop in your large crystal flower then add another spacer, followed by a sequence of 2 more 8mm beads intersersed with spacer beads.
Our Sequence is illustrated below but you can space your own flowers as you like:
Finish your first row off with 2 crimp beads, making sure you match both sides of the clasp.
Decide where you want your chain to be placed. If you are using the central hole on your clasp you need to check that once the chain is inserted you can still undo the clasp. Cut your chain to length and attach.
Your 3rd row is made up of your 4mm beads. Attach your tiger tail to your clasp, string alternating colours or a design of your own. Using your design board check where your length will drape nicely. You should have 3 varying lengths. Again finish your strand off with 2 crimp beads.
