GETTING STARTED: ATTACHING THE HOOK TO THE WIRE

Place the crimp bead on the end of the wire about an inch and a half from the tip.
Pass wire through the lanyard hook.

GETTING STARTED: ATTACHING THE HOOK TO THE WIRE
Step 2
Fold the wire back.
Pass through crimp bead, leaving about an inch as a “tail.”
Make sure that the loop attached to the lanyard hook is fairly tight.

PLANNING AHEAD
CHOOSE BEADS THAT YOU THINK WILL GO TOGETHER.CONSIDER COLOR, SHAPE, AND TEXTURE. BE SURE TO INCLUDE SOME ACCENT BEADS AND PLENTY OF SMALLER, SEED BEADS.
VISUALIZE HOW THEY WILL LOOK TOGETHER AND EXPERIMENT WITH VARIOUS COMBINATIONS. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THE BEADS ON THE LEFT MIGHT GO TOGETHER.

STYLE CONSIDERATIONThink about whether you want a central bead above the lanyard hook or two separate strands meeting.

NECK LINE ADVICEDecide if you want to use smaller, lighter beads on the neckline, or if your general pattern will continue all the way around.

SYMMETRICAL OR NOT?Some people like to make the left and right side of their lanyard match exactly. (If so, you may need to reverse your pattern on the second side). Others prefer only approximate symmetry;Asymmetry is another popular choice.

CHOOSE AT LEAST ONE GREEN BEADALL OF ERIN’S DREAM LANYARDS HAVE A GREEN BEAD AS
“A TOUCH OF ERIN”

MISTAKES TO AVOID
ALL BIG BEADS: TOO HEAVYALL SMALL BEADS: WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO COMPLETE
PLAN BOTH SIDES, SO YOU DON’T RUN OUT OF THE BEADS. YOU MAY NOT WANT TO USE SEVEN ON ONE SIDE IF YOU ONLY HAVE TWELVE.
![Page 20: Rough Draft Lanyard Instructions](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102322/53facb488d7f7258208b6f33/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MISTAKES TO AVOID
TUCK THE DOUBLE STRAND OF WIRE INTO YOUR BEADS WHEN YOU ARE STARTING SO THEY DON’T POKE THE WEARER.
LEAVE BETWEEN AN INCH AND TWO INCHES OF WIRE AT THE END SO THAT THE FINISHER HAS ENOUGH WIRE TO WORK WITH.
![Page 21: Rough Draft Lanyard Instructions](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102322/53facb488d7f7258208b6f33/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MISTAKES TO AVOID
TAPE THE END AS SOON AS YOU FINISH SO YOU DON’T SPILL YOUR BEADS.
REMEMBER, YOU MUST RETURN YOUR LEFTOVERS TO THE BEAD TABLE WHEN YOU’RE DONE.
