Cut 3 x 40cm long wires. Hold them at one side and loosely braid the wires.

Cut a 50cm long silk ribbon and waive it through the wires.

Cut about 10cm long wires and pass them through the filigree flowers. Twist wires to hold them on flowers. For flowers that don’t have hole or point to hold, you can easily open holes using a piercing tool.

Twist the wire ends on the necklace wires to hold the flower.

Cut more wires, shape them around a pencil and set them on the necklace. Continue with all the flowers.

Decorate the flowers with the pearls

Twist and wrap the ribbon at the end of the wires, use some glue if necessary to hold it. Using the round pliers, create a loop with the wires and place jump rings and the lobster clasp. To adjust the size of the necklace you can add more jump rings.
