Let's Begin

Insert one Round Bead onto a head pin and make a simple loop at the end. Repeat this step for all of the 3mm, 4mm and 6mm Beads and Pearls in the project list. The 8mm Pearl will not be attached with a head pin.
Attach 15 of the 4mm jump rings to each other in a straight line.
Attach one Swarovski Pendant to the second jump ring in the row with one of the 6mm jump rings. Similarly attach 45 of the crystal headpins created in Step 1 to this jump ring chain, leaving the very first jump ring in the row empty. Do not attach one of the 8mm Iridescent Purple Pearls to this chain as we will use this one at the end of the extension chain.
Open a 6mm jump ring and add one of the Swarovski pendants with a 5mm split ring.
Open the first 4mm jump ring of the bead and pearl cluster created in Step 3 and insert a 5mm split ring.
Cut approximately 25cm (9.84 inches) of the Tiger Tail and thread on 8 of the Cream Swarovski Pearls. Thread the tiger tail through the 5mm split ring from Step 5 and then insert two more Cream Pearls onto the Tiger Tail. Thread the Tiger Tail through the Peridot Pendant Split Ring and insert 8 more Cream Pearls. Insert both ends of the Tiger Tail through a crimp bead and then through a split ring, back through the crimp bead and through 3 Crystal Pearls. Crimp the crimp bead and cut off the extra Tiger Tail. Attach a lobster clasp and extension chain to th esplit rings on each end using 4mm jump rings. At the end of the extension chain, attach the remaining Crystal Pearl with the head pin.
