Step 1
Take the 22ga wire and using your flat nose pliers bend over approx. 5mm on the end. Thread the 1 x 4x6mm black rondelle, 1 x focal bead and 1 x 4x6mm black rondelle. Start to form a wrapped loop but before closing thread the loop of the round filigree connector.
Step 2
Divide your tiger tail in half.
Step 3
Take one length of tiger tail and thread through one crimp bead, wire guardian and through the crimp bead again. Crimp with your crimping pliers. Take your flat-nose pliers and gently place the crimp cover on top of the crimp to hide. Work your flat-nose plier around the crimp cover to close. Thread (3 x black 4x6mm rondelle, 1 x silver 4x6mm rondelle, 1 x gold 6x8mm rondelle, 1 x silver 4x6mm rondelle) x 2, 3 x black 4x6mm rondelle, 1 x gold 4x6mm, 1 x 29x12mm flat oval, 1 x gold 4x6mm, (3 x black 4x6mm rondelle, 1 x silver 4x6mm rondelle, 1 x gold 6x8mm rondelle, 1 x silver 4x6mm rondelle) x 3 and 3 x black 4x6mm rondelle.
Finish the tiger tail by threading a crimp bead and work through one wire guardian and through the crimp bead again. Close the crimp bead and cover with a crimp cover.
Repeat this step to create one more beaded strap.
Step 4
Take 1 x 8mm jump ring and thread the end of one beaded strap and the round filigree connector (step 1). Repeat for other side. Take the length of chain and open the end link like you would a jump ring and attach to one end of the necklace. Take 1 x head pin and thread 1 x 4x 6mm rondelle. Trim and form a loop. Before closing the loop attach to the opend end of the chain. Take 1 x 6mm jump ring and thead the other end of the necklace and the hook.
