Double Strand Spacer Tiger Tail Necklace

Skills required/taught: crimping, using callots and opening and closing jump rings

Chain nosed pliers require

Materials needed:
2 x 45cm tiger tail thread
2 x callots
1 x lobster clasp
2 x jump rings
At least 56 x 2mm crimps (2 crimps per bead plus two crimps for the ends)
Minimum 24 beads

Step 1:
The following instructions should be repeated on both strands of tigertail. Add a crimp to the middle of the tigertail, crimp and add a bead. This is your centre bead. Add a crimp to the other side of the bead and crimp.

Step 2:
Decide on the distance you would like between the beads. Add a crimp at the distance you want between beads and crimp. Add the bead and then a crimp. Repeat on the opposite side. Continue until all the beads are added. You may choose to leave the same length gaps on both strands or do different length gaps.

Step 3:
Once you have added all the beads add a callot onto both strands, followed by a crimp (on both strands). Crimp 2mm from the end of the threads and feed the callot over the crimp. Repeat on the other side. Add the lobster clasp on one end with the jump ring and a jump ring on the other. Your necklace is now complete.
