For the necklace:
Fancy round bead mix
18" necklace (6-strand)

For the bracelet:
Fancy round bead mix
Leather bracelet (which looks braided or twisted)
Antique silver pipe spacer beads


For the earrings:
Fancy round bead mix
Sterling silver chain- 2 pieces of equal length 
Kidney steel earring hooks
Jump rings





To make the necklace:

Part the strands into three and start braiding them like you would do with your hair. After about 5-6 inches, slide a round bead onto one of the partings and continue, until you get to the middle. Slide the beads in through the entire beaded strands. Continue to do the second half in a similar way. Finish the other end by crushing the crimp bead.




To make the bracelet:

Slide the glass beads with the spacers in between and close it.

To make the earrings:

Slide a glass bead onto each of the two pieces of wire. Attach both the ends of wire onto a jump ring. Attach the jump ring to the kidney wire and close.
