Tools needed: round and chain nose pliers and wire cutters Instructions:

1. At the end of the silver wire make a large simple wire loop. Thread one side of the watch through the loop and wrap the wire loop close, trimming any excess wire.Just above the large loop make a small wire loop. You can go ahead and close this one and trim the wire too.
2. Repeat step 1 and 2 on the other side of the watch face.
3. Next, crimp one half of the clasp to the beading wire.Start stringing the beads, following this sequence.

4. String on the time bead, making sure the “T” end of the bead goes on the wire first. String a silver ball, three seed beads and then the watch. You can decide which way you would like the watch face going. You might need to twist the wire loop to get the face to lie flat. After the watch is on the wire, string three seed beads, a silver ball, red saturn, silver ball, three seed beads, a silver ball, and then the word “Flies”. This time make sure the “F” goes onto the wire first. Double check before going any further that the words can be read the right way when your necklace is on.

6. Cut two 10″ pieces of beading wire. Just above the end of the wire secure one of the crimp beads. String a silver bead, a disc, a silver ball, and 14 seed beads. Send the end of the wire through the small loop at the bottom of the watch face. Continue stringing on the same wire with 7 seed beads. Next string a silver ball, a disc, a silver ball, green saturn, silver ball, and then crimp. Secure the crimp and trim off any excess beading wire.
7. For the second tassel, crimp one end of the beading wire and then string a silver ball, a disc, a silver ball, a red saturn, a silver ball and 10 seed beads. Send the end of the wire through the bottom wire loop again. Continue by stringing 8 seed beads, a silver ball, a disc, and another silver ball. Crimp the wire after the last bead and trim the excess.
