Some products featured in the shopping list include more jump rings and wire than you need - you can use these for future projects.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Firstly wire wrap your star bead. Using 15-20cm of sterling silver round wire, slip the bead onto the wire around 3-4cm down. Pinch both ends of the wire together at the top of the bead to form a triangle shape. Use round nose pliers to bend the longer length to a right angle and if necessary, use side cutters to cut the short side of the wire. Use round nose pliers to form a loop with the longer side of wire by bending it to a right angle and wrapping it around the tip of the pliers.
2. Before wrapping the wire, slide the wire loop onto the bottom of the cloud charm.
3. Hold the loop flat using snipe nose pliers and begin wrapping the wire down towards the bead. Wrap it back up towards the loop, trim and tuck in with snipe nose pliers.
4. Use side cutters to cut your necklet chain in half.
5. Use a pair of snipe or flat nose pliers to twist open a jump ring, then attach to the loop of the cloud charm and attach the loose end of chain before twisting closed to secure.
6. Repeat step 4 with the opposite side of the cloud charm.
Your necklace is ready to wear!
