Harem Necklace  
   

Instructions:
1.  Set up Jewelry Jig with Champagne glass pattern below and make 2 glasses with 22 gauge wire.
2Cut Black cardstock to 11 3/4” square.
3.  Using both small and large metal mandrels on the Wire Worker, make a small coil approximately 1” and a large one approximately 1½”. Cut these down the center to make jump rings.
4.  Reduce and make photocopy of wedding invitation and photocopy onto vellum. Trim down to desired size. Dab outside edges with Pigment ink, and emboss with black powder. Matte with pink heart paper, and black cardstock.
5.   Apply glossy accents to desired sticker or die cut letters.
6.  Cut two 12 ½” lengths each of black ribbon and white satin ribbon and adhere together using Xyron adhesive.
7.  Mat photos with white, black and light pink cardstock.
8. Determine placement of elements and attach champagne glasses and bubbles to black cardstock before adhering to 12 x 12” pink heart paper.
9.  To attach each of the glasses and bubbles, make tiny holes with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) around various points of each heart. Make ½” horseshoe shapes with 26 gauge matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around wire shapes and secure by flattening on the back of the cardstock.
10. Apply glossy accents to inside of champagne glasses and bubbles – immediately drop in some silver micro beads. Allow to dry for several hours.
11. Adhere ribbon layers along bottom and left edge of black cardstock, overlapping raw edges to the back.
12.
Adhere black cardstock to pink heart paper with Super Tape.
13. Attach crystals where desired along photos or ribbon edges. To do so, use Gem-Tac and allow it to ooze out from under the crystal, then immediately place large jump rings in the puddle of glue to hold in place.
14. Apply photos, glossy letters & mini wedding invitation to page.
