Instructions:
Cut 2 lengths of Tigertail measuring 15cm for Earrings.
Put aside with 2 curved tubes, 6 Resin Beads assort., 4 spacers, 6 Eyepins, 2 Jump Rings, 2 Ear hooks, and two crimps for Ear Rings.*
Cut remaining Tigertail into 3 lengths. Secure one end of these in Bead Stopper.
Thread each length with 1 Curved Tube, 1 Resin Bead, 1 Curved Tube using 10 Tubes on each Length. Finish with curved Tube. Move the beads until you have both ends the same. Make sure Eyepin is closed up. Thread 1 crimp on the three ends of Tigertail. Then thread through Eye on Eye pin. Fold over and back through Crimp Bead. Crimp. Cut ends of Tigertail near crimp. With eyepin thread through the Bead Cone, wide to narrow end. With Pliers, make another loop near the small cone end. Repeat for other end of necklace.
Use Jump rings to connect end loops to clasp ends.
* Thread the six Resin beads onto Eye pins and make loops at other ends. With Tigertail, thread 3 Resin beads then centre TT and thread both ends through a Curved Tube. Thread 1 Spacer, 1 Crimp bead, 1 Spacer – then through Jump Ring and back down through Spacer, Crimp and Spacer. Pull Tiger Tail until spacer is sitting at end of Tube. Crimp the Crimp Bead and cut extra TT below bottom Spacer. Open Loop on Ear Hook and thread Jump Ring on. Close Ear Hook. Do other Ear Ring the Same way.
Beginner Plus. Threading of Curved Tubes & Resin Beads only takes minutes. It is worth spending a little time to get the rest right.
(This Design works well with Gold Curved Tubes. I used White Pearls for beads. It may be necessary to extend each row of the necklace to 11 tubes, depending on size of Pearls. Also looks good with Gold and Resin.)
