How to make the Charlee necklace:



This is a slightly challenging design, but once you've battled through making it you'll have a beautiful geometric necklace that goes almost any outfit.  


To start with, you'll need the small sphere and wand shaped magnets from your KLIK KLIK JEWELRY kit.


Take two wand shaped magnets and form them into a V, using a small sphere magnet as the anchor. Sometimes the wands will want to form a straight line, instead of the V shape above, but if you flip one of the wand over so the opposite pole is touching the small sphere it will behave.


Now add four more wand magnets to the small sphere in the middle, remembering the trick where you flip the wand magnet over to make it do what you want.


Add six small spheres to the end of each wand.


Now it gets a little tricky. You have to connect each arm of the starfish looking shape with a wand. So six wands total to make a perfect hexagon. You'll want to remember the flipping trick when doing this too.


 Yay! You did it and have a nice little magnetic hexagon to be proud of.

Make two more identical hexagons. By now you should be an expert at it.




Now that you've made all three hexagon shapes, link them together using a small sphere-wand-small sphere. The flipping technique will come in handy here as well.


This is what the necklace pendant should look like.


On the left and right hexagon shape, add one small sphere and one wand magnet.


Finally, make a chain of small spheres and link the whole design together. Perfect jewelry architecture.
