Instructions in 12 steps Create that special intertwined look by curling the jewellery wire over the back of a pair of scissors. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Cut the jewellery wire 5 x 1 m with a side cutter.

A step-by-step instruction can be found in the PDF version of the craft idea. Just download it.

Step 2

Hold the ends of a jewellery wire flush. Measure 43 cm from the middle and bend it bz means of the tapered flat pliers.

Step 3

Bend also the center slightly.

Step 4

Curl the jewellery wire between the kinks over the back of a pair of scissors.

Step 5

Thread the wine-red Rocailles on both sides, but only between the kinks.

Step 6

Thread 2 crimp beads on, cross the other end through and press shut the crimp beads with the tapered flat pliers.

Step 7

Prepare 3 additional jewellery wires and thread them in the colour change, see picture.

Step 8

Connect the 4 strands with the last jewellery wire as follows: first, hold the jewellery wire flush and measure 21.5 cm from the middle, then bend it and curl. Thread the Antique Rocailles on.

Step 9

Thread 14 Antique Rocailles on one side, put 4 finished strands one upon the other (overlapped), thread the jewellery wire through the strands, then thread back through 7 Antique Rocailles.

Step 10

Tighten the jewellery wire thus it forms a ring around the strands.

Step 11

Thread 28 Antique Rocailles (take note of your desired necklace length), then thread a calotte end and 2 crimp beads. Press shut the crimp beads with the tapered flat pliers, cut the rest off. Put some glue for jewellery into the calotte end and press it shut.
