Follow these steps to make the necklace:

1: Cut a length of tiger tail wire using the cutting pliers. This length of wire will add to the overall length of the necklace.

2: Bend the tiger tail wire around the first loop of the piece of chain.

3: Add two crimp beads to the wire.

4: Use the flat nose pliers to squash the crimp beads and secure the tiger tail wire in place so that it is ready for you to add the beads.

5: Once the crimp beads have been squashed begin adding the beads onto the piece of wire.

7: Continue adding beads in your desired pattern.

8: Once all the beads are in place add another two crimp beads to the end of the tiger tail wire.

9: Loop the end of the wire through the other end of the necklace chain and back through the crimp beads.

10: Use the pliers to pull the wire tight and then squash the crimp beads in place.

11: Trim the excess wire using the cutting pliers.

12: Split the center of the necklace chain at the top of the necklace.

13: Add a jump ring and one side of the toggle clasp to one end of the split chain. Secure the clasp in place by closing the jump ring.

14: Add the other side of the toggle clasp as you did in step 13.

15: Once your clasp has been secured in place your necklace is finished. Pop it on and have some fun!
