Instructions:

Bracelet

Using Bead Stopper on one end of Tigertail and thread 1 Pearl, One side of  Frame and through Flower Bead through other side of Frame, 1 Pearl, through next Frame, 2 Diamond Beads, through Frame, 1 Pearl... Continue and finish with 1 Pearl.

On one end thread 1 Spacer, 1 Crimp, one end of Toggle Clasp, Up & Down through Thread Protector, then back through Crimp, Spacer and Pearl.  Work Toggle up into Thread Protector and holding Toggle, gently pull Tigertail until everything slips together neat.  Crimp & trim tigertail.  Do other end the same way.

Earrings

Thread headpin with 1 spacer, 1x20mm Flower, 1 spacer, 1x15mm Flower, 1 spacer.  Using pliers make loop on top of headpin, threading ear hook loop on before closing loop.  Make second Earring in the same way.

Hints:  To adjust the length, thread more or less pearls.  My bracelet is 20cm closed. 

After you have pulled Tigertail through thread protector, it will curl slightly – discard excess thread.  I always allow enough Tigertail, so you can manipulate it back through findings.

I hope you enjoy making this Bracelet & Earrings Set as much as I did.
