How to start the handmade bead jewelry?
Step1: make the chain fringe pendant
Separate about 30-40cm long chain off the coil. Fold it for several times and string the folded locations with one 50cm long Tiger Tail Wire. Stop the chain at middle of the wire and pass the two wire ends together through one Tibetan bead cap, one Red Coral Bead and two Shell Beads.

Step2: embellish the necklace chain
In the chain, you may mainly adopt the following three elements: crimp bead, crimp bead cover and shell beads.
Slide and pinch the crimp bead about 3cm far away from the pendant part. Then coat it with matched crimp bead cover. Finally, thread one shell bead and this will be regarded as one sample basic group. Keep repeating same processes until both wire ends are decorated well.

Step3: conclude the handmade bead jewelry
When entire necklace reaches an ideal length, tie a fasten knot tightly with two ends. Then trim excess wire and adore the knot by applying one crimp bead cover.
