Twelve Days of Christmas PDF Diagram

Cut two lengths of jewelry wire each approximately twelve inches long. Slide a gold-plated 2x2mm crimp tube onto the end of each wire. Then, add one wire to the first loop of the gold-plated 14x10mm 2-ring magnetic tube clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Bring the other wire through the second loop of the clasp, then go back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide each crimp with a 3mm gold-plated crimp cover.

Add a Tierracast gold 3mm faceted heishi spacer and a TierraCast 8mm gold-plated pewter plain heishi spacer to each strand, followed by your 1st Day of Christmas bead and then a plain heish spacer for each strand again. Repeat until you've added all of your Christmas days, and then add a faceted spacer to each strand.

Slide a crimp tube onto each end of wire. Bring one wire through the corresponding loop on the other half of the clasp. Go back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Bring the next wire through the other loop on the other half of the clasp, go back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide each crimp tube with a crimp cover.
