Necklace:

Cut a piece of C-lon wire of 1.5 meters and tie it with a knot to one of the connectors. Put a little jewelry glue on it to make sure it can't come loose. Start attaching the miyuki beads to your connector as shown in the video tutorial.

When you have filled half a circle with beads take a new connector and pull your c-lon wire through it, and then again through your last strung bead to your first connector. When the two connecters are attached to each other you can continue to thread beads on the second connector. Continue until you have 4 connecters together and the white beads are in a zigzag pattern through the 4 connecters. Now you are going to attach the other two rows of beads in the same brickstitch way to the top beads of the first row. When those two rows are finished your middle piece is ready. Attach to the 1 of the beads of the top row a jumpring and attach the chain to it. Cut the chain to the length you like and attach to each side a jump ring with on 1 side a snap fastener.

Earrings:

Cut a one-meter piece of C-lon wire, and attach it to a connector. Follow the technique from the video. When you have threaded the two rows all the way around the connector make a jumpring on one of the beads of the top row. Cut a 2cm piece of the chain and attach it to the jumpring with the connector. On the other side of the piece of chain, make a stud earring, and then your earring is ready.
