Stage 1

Measure and cut two 10.5cm lengths of suede. Attach a flat leather crimp to each end. Cut two 10.5cm lengths of
trace chain. With a 5mm jump ring attach one length of chain and suede to the top of a heart connector. Repeat for the other chain, suede and connector.

Stage 2

Thread a crimp onto the wire, thread the wire through the bottom of the heart connector and back through the
crimp. Squeeze the crimp flat. Thread on ten floral beads and a second crimp. Thread through the bottom of the second heart connector, back through the crimp and squeeze flat. Trim the wire approximately 2cm from the crimp and thread into the bead.

Stage 3

Attach a 5mm jump ring to the ends of the remaining trace chain and light chain, join the jump ring to the wire between the first and second beads. Loop the chains underneath and attach a second jump ring in the same way.
Continue adding loops until the ninth and tenth beads. Trim any excess chain.

Stage 4

Attach a trigger clasp to one end of the suede and chain and a jump ring to the other to finish the necklace.

Stage 5

This is what your finished necklace should look like.
