INSTRUCTIONS

Take the wire mesh tubing and place the end in a leather crimp. Add a tiny dab of glue and squish both sides of the leather crimp down, to hold the wire mesh tubing in place. From the other end, fill the hollow mesh tubing with a mix of 4mm glass bicone & 8mm round faceted glass crystal beads (we used clear AB and clear crystals, with purple tubing). Once the tubing is full to the length you want, cut off any excess tubing, close the tubing by placing the end in a leather crimp, adding a dab of glue and squishing down both sides.

On one side of your necklace, add a jump ring and a parrot clasp to the leather crimp. On the other side, add a couple of jump rings.
