| This Choker is quick and easy to make and since it's reinforced with beading wire, it's very sturdy The matching earrings work well by themselves also. |

| you will need size 6 and 11 seeds, crystals, flat disk beads or roundels 4-6 mm beads (on the diagram they are the pink/purple) thread, needles and softflex. |

|
| First you need to make a right angle weave (RAW) cross. This is much easier than it sounds. Take 3 yards of thread, add a needle to either end. Now pick up 4 size 6 beads. Adjust the beads so they are in the middle of the thread. now take one needle and go trough the last bead in the opposite direction, as shown. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Add another bead. The needles should be on both side of the bead. |

|
| Using the bottom needle, pick up 2, and using the top pick up 1 bead. the thread with one needle now needs to go trough the 2nd on the bottom, draw tight! |

| Ok, here's the only hard part to this project.. making sure your accent beads ( 4-6mm) "fit" between the top beads of the crosses. Take a piece of thread and temporary thread the accent bead between the tops of your crosses. |

|
| this is wrong, you want the accent bead to fit between the crosses, ideally you want the crosses to curve inward, just alittle! This will give the choker a wonderful rounded drape on the neck! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Like this! this diagram only has 1 bead in between the crosses, but you might need 2 or 3. Play with it until you get the right interval for the crosses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ok, the hard part is done. Take out the temporary thread, and just continue making crosses until you have the desired length of the choker. make sure your tension is tight. |
