Step 11

Link 39x P. You will need 8-10 mm of free wire to create each loop. Twist the end of the wire around the point of the round-nose pliers. Straighten the loop above the centre of the hole of the P.

Attach the P to the lower circles of rocailles using a metal ring.

The method for sewing the necklace may also inspire you to create earrings, a handbag or a hem for a dress.
