Lovely Lapis Dangle Necklace - Page 2

8. Now you are ready to make your dangles. Start by adding a 6mm lapis bead to one of your head pins.

9. Just as with the end dangle already added, you need to bend and curl the head pin over. I measured about ¼ inch away from the bead, and bent it in this spot.

10. Now use a ruler to find the center of your chain.

11. Slip the curled part of your lapis piece through one of the links in the chain. Since I used a figaro chain, I had to use the larger loops in my chain.

12. Again, wrap the wire around itself to secure it to the chain.

13. Repeat the above steps to make more dangles.

14. Continue adding the lapis dangles to your chain. I counted links to determine where I would add each of mine, so there are 3 links between each of my beads, and this area measures approximately 1 ¼ inches.

I love how my new lapis necklace turned out. Even if you don’t have lapis around, you could make this same design using your favorite beads.
