Materials
1 x coil memory wire necklace
1 x large wire star pendant
1 x 6 mm jump ring
1 x Magnetic clasp
28 x 6 mm red glass beads
14 x 6 mm green crackle glass beads
14 x 6 mm clear crackle glass beads
30 x 4 mm silver plated beads
1. Attach the jump ring to the top of the
star. Put the pendant onto the memory wire and let it fall to the centre.


2. Thread the beads on to the memory wire in the following order, 1 x 4 mm silver plated bead, 2 x 6 mm red bead, 1 4 mm silver plated bead, 1 x green beads, 1 x clear bead, and finally 1 x 4 mm silver plated bead.  


3. Now add beads as follows - 2 x 6 mm red bead, 1 x 4 mm silver plated bead, 1 x 6 mm green bead, 1 x 6 mm clear bead, and finally 1 x silver plated bead to the memory wire.
4. Repeat step 3 four times. You should have 37 beads in total threaded onto the memory wire necklace.

5. Work through steps 2, 3 and 4 again on the other side of the necklace.

6. Repeat step 3 once more and then make a small loop in the end of the memory wire (trim of any excess as needed). Repeat for the other side.

7. Open loops slightly and add clasp to finish.
