Materials:	Tools:
50cm tigertail	Twirly Wirlie Pliers
1 heart toggle clasp	Wire Cutters
4 jump rings	Crimping Pliers
1 head pin
27 large mood beads
27 filigree metal tubes
54 plain metal bead
2 small crimps
note: these quantities make a 50cm length necklace. To make a longer necklace, simply add more tigertail and beads. Our necklace was made with silver findings.

Pick up the 50cm strand of tigertail. Thread on a small crimp, a jump ring, then thread back through the crimp. Pull up tightly and squish down the crimp. Cut off any excess tigertail. Thread on:
- a filigree metal tube
- a plain metal bead
- a large mood bead
- a plain metal bead

Repeat process another 25 times, so you have a total of 26 large mood beads threaded on (you should have one left over). Thread on one more filigree metal tube. Next, thread on a small crimp, a jump ring, then back through the crimp. Pull up tightly and squish down the crimp. Cut off any excess tigertail.

Open up another jump ring. Thread on the bar part of the toggle clasp, then thread through one of the jump rings on the end of the strand. Close securely. Open the jump ring on the other end of the strand, thread on the heart part of the toggle clasp (thread through the loop at the top of the heart) and close securely.

Take a head pin and thread on:
- a plain metal bead
- a large mood bead
- a plain metal bead

Leaving a space of 10mm, cut the excess off the head pin. Twirl the end using your twirly wirlies. Open a jump ring and thread through the loop you just made. Also thread through the heart part (the main heart) of the toggle clasp. Close securely. Your necklace is now ready to wear!
