Starfish And Topaz Necklace
This simple starfish pendant necklace couldn't be easier to make and it looks really pretty. We've also added a little sky blue topaz bead for a little extra touch of the ocean!
Are you thinking of making this as a gift? Why not add a presentation box or gift bag to your order.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1.Begin by wire wrapping your briolette, use side cutters to cut 10cm of wire. Slip the briolette onto the wire. Pinch both ends of the wire together at the top of the briolette to form a triangle shape.
2. Use your round nose pliers to form a loop. Before you start wrapping, add the open starfish charm by the bottom to the loop of wire.
3. Start wrapping around the stem of the wire from the bae of the loop towards the bead.
4. When you are happy with the length of your wrap, cut any excess wire with your side cutters.
5. Open your 5mm jump ring with a pair of snipe nose pliers and attach the chain. Close the jump ring and your necklace is ready to wear.
