Hello Silkies, welcome back to the channel! Today, I've got a delightful design to teach you, and I'm calling it the "Waterfall Necklace."

Before we embark on this creative journey, let's ensure we have all the necessary tools and materials at hand.

Tools:

• Chain nose pliers

• Cutters

• Wide nose pliers

• Tool Magic (optional, for protecting findings)

Materials:

• Herringbone pattern chain

• Knitted leather cord (sandstone color)

• SilverSilk single strand end caps

• Jump Rings (20 gauge, 6mm inner diameter)

• Lobster Claw clasp

• Decorative chain

1. Prepare Your Chain Pieces:

• Start by separating your decorative chain into the desired lengths, typically ranging from 3 inches to 2 inches. These will create the cascading effect in your waterfall necklace.

• Use chain nose pliers to carefully open the middle link of each chain piece, allowing you to detach a section of the chain. This step ensures the chain is ready to connect to your design.

2. String the Chains:

• Thread the separated chain pieces onto your knitted leather cord one at a time. You can mix and match chain lengths to create an organic waterfall-like pattern.

3. Attach the End Caps:

• Trim any excess wire remnants from the knitted leather cord.

• Insert the trimmed end of the cord into a single strand end cap.

• Use wide nose pliers to carefully close the end cap, ensuring a secure fit. Repeat this step for both ends of the cord.

4. Add the Clasp:

• Attach jump rings to the end caps. These jump rings will be used to connect the lobster claw clasp.

• Securely close the jump rings with your pliers to prevent any accidental openings.

5. Complete Your Waterfall Necklace:

• Once you've attached the clasp, your stunning Waterfall Necklace is complete! The cascading chains give it a graceful, waterfall-inspired look that's perfect for any occasion.
