Get the kit for only: £19.75

Tools are not included. You will need wire cutters, round nose pliers and crimping pliers for the necklace.

You can adjust the length of the necklace by adding beads of your own or omitting elements of the design shown above - if you want to make the necklace as shown, take careful note of the photograph and work from this - always check, check and recheck the design before you finish. You have more than enough stringing wire (Beadalon) to make up the necklace.

The kit is designed to be worked by adults, you should complete it in a couple of hours.

Work the necklace from the middle outwards - that is, start with one of the Jabulani tubes - that way its easier to make each side the same. Don't worry if your design varies a little from that shown, its nice to have something individual!

Making up the earrings is easy - see our hints and tips here for how to make wrapped loops - just follow the pattern in the photo above. You have more than enough wire to make your leaf links and loops (and should have some left over to practice with if necessary).

We stock Jabulani tubes in lots of different colours and you have options for customising a necklace with your own beads and colours of Swarovski and semi-precious stones - all you have to do is follow a regular repeat pattern.
