U Look Good in Pink Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

The ""back"" of the U shaped connector is lashed to in this design, because it has a channel that helps to hold the beads in place.
Check the spacing of the beads prior to starting this project to determine the best pattern to use.
See Wire Lashing blog article for tips on successful wire lashing. Use at least 2 wraps between each bead to keep everything nicely in place.
Use jump rings to attach rollo chain to U-shaped link, and to clasp at desired length. For most secure way way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
