Impress your friends with a beautiful crystal necklace you made yourself! In this video, we'll show you what tools and materials you'll need including what headpins and chain to use. You'll learn how to make wrapped loops to attach the beads to the chain. And you will learn how to put a clasp on chain and give your necklace a professional finishing touch. Take what you've learned here to design your own dangling bead necklace!

To get started making your own dangling bead necklace, you will need open loop chain to attach the wirework to. To make the beaded crystal dangles, you’ll need faceted crystal rondelles. We used 20, five light green crystals, five dark green crystals, five periwinkle blue crystals, and five blue crystals. The beads are hung on ball head pins, and you’ll need 21 of those. Additionally you will need a clasp. We used a lobster clasp.

The tools you will need for this diy jewelry project are the three basic jewelry making tools. You will use these all the time! Chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, and wire cutters. Here’s a video we made describing these tools:
