Designer Tips:

Wire wrap all pearl and sparkly glass beads before assembling.
Use the Chain Sta to hold the garland dangle when attaching additional charms.
Make a garland dangle using jump rings: Two pearls on a jump ring attached to two crystals on a jump ring. Repeat until the garland is 9 jump rings long. Hang a single pearl from a jump ring to form the bottom of the garland.
