Clear Creek Necklace Tutorial

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 11 inches long. Slide a 2x2mm copper crimp tube followed by the loop of a JBB 2.5mm antique copper-plated brass fancy crimp end cap. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Add the following bead pattern to the wire:

• One Czech glass 9x6mm butterscotch opaline with bronze finish rondelle bead
• One TierraCast antique copper-plated pewter Turkish crown EuroBead
• One butterscotch rondelle
• One bead from the Dakota Stones blue impression jasper and bronzite graduated collar set

Repeat four times and then finish the strand with a butterscotch rondelle, a EuroBead, and a butterscotch rondelle.

Slide a crimp tube onto the wire, followed by the loop of a crimp end cap. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Add an eight-inch length of 2mm natural red brown round leather to the crimp end cap on one side of your necklace and pinch the middle of the end cap shut around the leather.
