*The shortest strand of the finished necklace is approximately 16”

1) Prepare the Gold Lion Pendant by adding 5 holes. Use a small hand drill to add two holes to each side and one hole at the bottom of the pendant as shown in the picture.

2) Create the pendant dangle. String on 1-Green Speckled Stone Bead onto 1-2” Gold Head Pin and create a simple loop using the Simple Loop Technique. Attach this beaded head pin to the bottom loop of 1-Large Amber Round Acrylic Link. Attach this beaded dangle to the bottom hole of the Gold Lion Pendant with 1-6mm Gold Jump Ring and the Jump Ring Technique.

3) Create the first necklace strand. Create 5 beaded eye pins by stringing 1-Green Speckled Stone Bead onto 1-2” Gold Eye Pin and finishing with a simple loop and the Simple Loop Technique. Repeat this 4 more times. Alternate Small Amber Round Acrylic Links and the beaded eye pins to create a beaded chain. Connect each part to each other using the Connector Technique. Attach the last beaded connector to the top loop of the Gold Lion Pendant. Repeat this process to complete the second side of this necklace strand.

4) Create the second necklace strand. Separate 4-Red Acrylic Oval Beads from the strand by opening the simple loops using the Simple Loop Technique. Alternate these beads with Large Amber Acrylic Connectors using the simple loops from Red Acrylic Oval Beas to connect the beads together. Your finished strand will have 5-Large Amber Acrylic Connectors and 4-Red Acrylic Oval Beads. Connect the last Large Amber Connector to the top hole on the left hand side of the Gold Lion Pendant using 1-6mm Gold Jump Ring and the Jump Ring Technique. Repeat this process to complete the second side of this necklace strand, attaching the final connector to the right hand side of the pendant.

5) Create the third and final necklace strand. Create 7 beaded eye pins by stringing 1-Green Speckled Stone Bead onto 1-2” Gold Eye Pin and finishing with a simple loop and the Simple Loop Technique. Repeat this 6 more times. Alternate Small Amber Round Acrylic Links and the beaded eye pins to create a beaded chain. Connect each part to each other using the Connector Technique. Attach the last beaded connector to the bottom hole on the left hand side of the Gold Lion Pendant. Repeat this process to complete the second side of this necklace strand, attaching the final connector to the right hand side of the pendant.

6) Add 1-6mm Gold Jump Ring to the end of each necklace strand. Connect the jump rings of the three strands with 1-6mm Gold Jump Ring and add one side of 1-Gold Lobster Clasp. Repeat for the second side.
