    1. Run the T-pin through one end of an open-weave silver bead, then angle the wire out through an opening in the center of the bead. Thread on a black bead and loop the T-pin around the bottom, forming it into a loop (figure A). Cut off any excess wire.

    2. Attach the loop on the end of the black bead to the loop of the watch.

    3. Cut three pieces of silver chain; two lengths should be approximately 10" long and one length should be approximately 14" long.

    4. Attach a piece of soft flex to the end of one 10" chain with a crimp bead (figure B).

    5. Next, string on a silver bead and a small black bead.

    6. Thread the soft flex through the silver bead at the top of the watch pendant, then add a black bead and another silver bead and attach to the second piece of 10" chain with a crimp bead.

    7. At the end of each piece of chain, attach soft flex, then add silver, black and crimp beads in a decorative pattern, creating approximately 5" of beadwork on each side of the watch.

    8. Attach the remaining piece of chain to each end. The finished necklace should be approximately 44" long.
