SELECTING COMPLEMENTARY BEAD COLORS

• TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE, YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT COMPLEMENTARY BEAD COLORS. WHEN USING AQUAMARINE, CONSIDER USING LIGHT OR DARK BLUES, SILVER, OR CLEAR BEADS.

• USING COMPLEMENTARY COLORS CAN HELP HIGHLIGHT THE AQUAMARINE STONES AND MAKE THEM STAND OUT.

ASSEMBLING YOUR NECKLACE: STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRAFTING YOUR AQUAMARINE BIRTHSTONE CROSS NECKLACE

Now that you have your supplies and design plan, it's time to assemble your Aquamarine Birthstone Cross Necklace.

Stringing Your Beads And Creating An Adjustable Length

• START BY STRINGING YOUR AQUAMARINE STONES ONTO YOUR BEADING THREAD. AFTER ADDING ENOUGH STONES TO MAKE THE LENGTH OF THE NECKLACE YOU DESIRE, START ADDING CRIMP BEADS.

CRIMP BEADS CAN BE USED TO CREATE AN ADJUSTABLE LENGTH FOR YOUR NECKLACE. TO DO THIS, ADD A CRIMP BEAD BEFORE AND AFTER EACH AQUAMARINE STONE. THEN ADD A JUMP RING, WHICH WILL BE USED TO ATTACH THE CROSS PENDANT.

Attaching Your Cross Pendant To Your Necklace

• TO ATTACH YOUR CROSS PENDANT TO YOUR NECKLACE, USE YOUR BEADING PLIERS TO OPEN THE JUMP RING YOU ATTACHED IN THE PREVIOUS STEP. SLIDE THE JUMP RING THROUGH THE CROSS PENDANT'S HOOP, THEN CLOSE THE JUMP RING USING THE PLIERS. • YOUR AQUAMARINE BIRTHSTONE CROSS NECKLACE IS NOW COMPLETE AND READY TO WEAR!
