Follow these steps to make your fruit necklace:

1: Add one of the beads to one of the eye pins.

2: Bend the pin to form an angle with the bead.

3: Loop the end of the pin using the round nose pliers. This will secure the bead onto the pin.

4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the rest of the fruit beads.

5: Attach all the fruit beads on their pins together to form a chain. Do this by slightly opening the loops with your pliers and then closing them again after sliding a charm onto the open loop.

6: Add one side of the chain to one end of the fruit chain you have just made attaching it as you did the fruit links in step 5.

7: Add the other side of the chain to the other side of the fruit section as you did in step 6.

8: Add a jump ring to one end of the chain and add the lobster clasp before closing it.

9: Add the other jump ring to the other side of the jump ring to finish it off.

Now your necklace is finished! How perfect and cheerful is this fruity design?!
