instructions

1. Necklace - 1. Cut a 45cm length of chunky chain. Attach a toggle ring to one end of the chain and a bar piece to the opposite end using 5mm jump rings. Create a bead dangle by threading a 4mm round black bead, a 28mm red round and another 4mm round black bead onto a head pin.
   
   2. Trim to 1.5cm and form a loop in the end but do not fully close. Make 17 more 28mm bead dangles and position them evenly along the chain. Decrease the amount of space between each bead towards the middle section slightly to give a fuller effect. Close the head pin loops with round-nosed pliers to secure.
   
   3. To finish, attach 22 silver leaf charms along the chain using 5mm jump rings, positioning them between the bead dangles and adding more towards the central section of the chain than at the ends.
