SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
TO FORM A LOOP:
• Silver Rope Toggle Starter Pack: Includes beading
wire, crimps & toggles
• 7 pc Black Stone Tiles
• 114 pc 4mm White Cat’s Eye Beads
• 8 pc 8x12mm Silver Hex Pillow
• 80 pc Silver Head Pins
• Round or Needle Nose Pliers
• Wire Cutters
• Ruler
Cut the pin approximately
1/4" beyond the bead.
Bend the pin to form a right
angle. Use the round end of
your pliers to grasp the end
of the pin and curve the pin
by using a rolling motion to
fold it over a single round
prong. You may need to
release the pin and continue
the rolling motion again.
You can convert a head pin to
an eye pin by snipping off the
head and replacing it with a
loop as shown above.
NECKLACE DIRECTIONS:
First, create 80 cat’s eye dangles.
Cut a 20" piece of beading wire
and use a crimp bead to attach
one half of the toggle clasp to
the end.
Thread on the beads and dangles
as shown. Each cat’s eye cluster
has 1 cat’s eye, 5 dangles,
then another cat’s eye. Start
and finish the necklace with an
extra cat’s eye bead to make the
toggle easier to use.
Use a crimp bead to attach the
second half of the toggle clasp.

USING CRIMP BEADS:
Thread on 1 crimp bead. Slip
the wire through the clasp
loop and bring the end of the
wire back through the crimping bead. Leave about a 1/2"
tail and push the crimp snug
up to the loop. Squeeze the
crimp bead flat using needle
nose pliers. Pull to be sure it
is secure. Thread the wire
back through a couple beads
then snip off excess.
