Stage 1

Thread a rocaille, a small and large flower onto a headpin. Use a mix of colours on each headpin.

Stage 2

Using the cutting part of the pliers trim the headpin 1cm above the flowers.

Stage 3

Use the round nosed part to bend into a loop and close. Repeat so that you have 17 beaded headpins in total.

Stage 4

Open an 8mm jump ring and thread on all of the beaded headpins. Close the jump ring. This is quite tricky, you may need to use two pairs of pliers to hold the jump ring.

Stage 5

Cut 70cm of chain. Thread one end of the chain through the jump ring in the middle of the flower cluster.

Stage 6

Add an 8mm jump ring to one end of the chain and an 8mm jump ring with a trigger clasp to the other.

Stage 7

THis is what your finished set should look like.
