Charm Leaf Bracelet	How To & Beads Used
click image to enlarge	To start our chain was made using 7mm SP jump rings using the chain maille method known as shaggy loops. As we created the bracelet we added 8/0 Silver Lined Bugles to random shaggy loops in the desired colour to suit our theme. Once the bracelet was finished we then added our Glass Leaf Beads taken from a selection from our bead mix. These were attached to our chain using SP Triangles spaced out along the bracelet to created the desired effect. To finish our necklace we attched a SP Toggle Clasp.
Three String Gemstone Bracelet	How To & Beads Used
click image to enlarge	To start we cut three pieces of 3 Strand Tigertail to our desired length but leaving enough room for finishing on both ends. The first three ends was then crimped creating a loop to attach our clasp using SP Crimps and 2 SP 3mm Pressed Metal Spacers was added to each thread. We then threaded a selection of Tumblechips to each thread. We then repeated the above process threading our SP Pressed Metal Spacers and again creating a loop and crimping to finish, snipping any loose ends that may be left. To finish our necklace we attched a SP Toggle Clasp.
Gemstone Lamp Bead Necklace	How To & Beads Used
click image to enlarge	Our Gemstone Lampbead Necklace was made using 7 strand Tigertail, 2 strands were used to enable us to create a single and double strand effect. We have used 3 Grey Fancy Silver Foil Round Flat Beads as our focal beads, stringing the first bead onto both threads into the centre, this is then followed by 1 Silver Metallised 6mm Hogan on each side (again threaded through both strands). Next we seperated the strands and threaded approx 2 inches of Snowflake Obsidian Tumblechips onto the first strand and again onto the second strand, as tumblechips can vary in size we tried to ensure that both strands were approx the same length, these are then secured using another 6mm Hogan Bead, Fancy Grey Striped Round Flat Bead and another 6mm Hogan Bead all through both strands. This method is then repeated on the opppsite side, until you have your desired length. You can continue to repeat this process to create the same pattern throughout your necklace. We created 4 double strands (a total of 8) tumblechips surrounding our 3 focal beads. For the remainder of our necklace we used another (approx 2 inches) of Snowflake Obsidian Tumblechips and threaded onto both threads to create a single strand, this was followed by 1 Metallised Silver Lice Bead and Lustred Round Gun Metal Lampbeads and again finished with 1 Silver Metallised Lice Bead. To finish our necklace we used SP Crimps Beads to secure the whole necklace and SP Crimps Covers (these provide a much neater finish to your work). For our clasp we used a SP Tigger Clasp and SP 7mm Jump Ring.
Chainmail Beaded Necklace	How To & Beads Used
click image to enlarge	To start we made our chainmail necklace to the length required using GP & SP 8mm Jump rings to each end we attached a Small swivel clip followed by 3 SP 8mm Jump rings each beaded with 1 amber & 1 yellow Silver lined rocialle. Take one jump ring and slip onto the loop of a SP 2 strand box clasp, do the same with the second jump ring on the second loop and with the third jump ring slip through the first and second jump rings to form a triangle. The single jump ring is then connected to the swivel clip. For the three strand necklace we replaced the 2 strand box clasps connecting part with the same part from a 3 strand box clasp to enable us to create our three strands needed for the necklace. The beaded necklace was created using 3 strand Tigertail which after beading was threaded through the loop of the 3 strand connector and secured using GP Crimps. The following beads were used for our necklace, on strand 1 we used Tigerseye tumblechips, 4mm & 6mm Glass facets with GP 3mm Pressed metal beads as spacers. For strand 2 we used Amber oval indian glass lamp beads, Amber venetain rounds with 9mm Gold metallised rose beads as spacers. For the final strand we used Pale pink glitter round lamp beads, Tortoiseshell lustrous glass pillows, 6mm Amber glass facets with Gold lice beads and 6mm Gold hogans as spacers.

For the beads we used a selection of amber and gold rocialles from our Silver lined rocialles mix, these were used for 3 of the strands. For the remaining three strands we used focal beads with the middle strand holding the largest of the beads such as Amber venetain rounds, 6mm Amber glass facets and Amber glitter round lamp beads for the spacers we used Gold lice beads and GP 3mm pressed metal beads. For the remaining two strands we used a variety of beads following the colour scheme using a variation in styles and shapes.
