Stage 1

Thread three clear daggers onto an eyepin, trim eyepin 1cm above the last bead. Bend into a loop and close (make sure the loop is in the same direction as the eye on the eyepin).

Stage 2

Bend the eyepin into a slight curve to create the fan shape.

Stage 3

Repeat to make a fan using five turquoise daggers. Another with five clear daggers. One with five aqua daggers and another with three clear daggers.

Stage 4

Join the fans in the order above using an 8mm jump ring. Add a jump ring to each end and attach 15cm of chain to each side.

Stage 5

Create the second row in the same way using: five turquoise, five clear, five aqua, five clear, five turquoise and finally five clear daggers. Attach a 16cm length of chain to each side.

Stage 6

Join the end of one 15cm and one 16cm length of chain with a jump ring, repeat on the other side and add a trigger clasp.
This is what your necklace should look like.
