PROCEDURE
The procedure
The almonds (the shape made from TC)
Step 1:
Prepare 2x 30mm eye pins. String the eye of the second on the first. Continue by stringing 10x TC. Gently bend the wire.

Step 2:
Make an eye. Shorten the protruding wire to about 8 mm. Grasp it between the points of the needle nose pliers. Twist the wire around the point. Gently bend it behind the edge of the TC. The eye will be central above the TC. Twist it using the flat nose pliers just like at the opposite end of the wire.

Step 3:
String 10x TC at the other other end of the eye pin. Thread it through the eye of the first eye pin. Adjust the shape of both eye pins.

Step 4:
Make an eye. Twist it in the same way as at the other end.

Step 5:
Prepare 2x 40mm eye pins. Thread one through the eye from the previous step. String about 13x TC. Shape the wire.

Step 6:
Thread the second eye pin through the second eye from the previous step.

Step 7:
Thread the eye pin with 13 TC into the eye. Thread the eye pin with 13x into the eye. Thread it through the protruding eye.

Step 8:
Create an eye on both eye pins. Watch the twisting of the eyes on all the eye pins.

Step 9:
Prepare 2x 50mm eye pins. Thread one through the eye from the previous step. String about 18x TC. Shape the wire.

Step 10:
Thread the second eye pin through the second eye from the previous step.

Step 11:
Thread the eye pin with the 18 TC into the eye. Thread the eye pin with 18x into the eye. Thread it through the protruding eye.

Step 12:
Make an eye on both eye pins. Watch the twisting of the eyes on all the eye pins.

The almonds on the necklace
Step 13:
Create a total of 14 almonds.

Step 14:
Straighten out the linked eyes on two of the almonds. Use them in the middle of the necklace.

Step 15:
Link the almonds together in twos with a ring. A total of 7x.

The fire polished beads on the necklace
Step 16:
Link 17x 1 FPB5. Twist the eyes in the same direction.

Step 17:
Connect 2 linked FPB5 four times.

Step 18:
Connect 3x FPB5 with a ring. In the middle.

Step 19:
Connect the 6 linked FPB5 with rings. This will create an adjusting chain.

Step 20:
Link 8x 1 FPB8 on eye pins.

Step 21:
Hang the linked FPB8 on the almond eye.

Step 22:
Connect the FPB8 to the adjusting chain with a ring.

Step 23:
Link the two chains made of 15x FPB5. Link them one after the other. String the eye of the new pin before fully closing the eye.

Assembling the necklace
Step 24:
Start the assembly from the centre. Connect the central FPB5 and the almonds.

Step 25:
Connect the eyes of the almonds and the surrounding FPB5. Do this 3x from the centre on both sides.

Step 26:
Connect the linked chains in the rings on the last outer almonds.

Step 27:
Attach the carabiner and the adjusting chain to the outer eyes using rings.
