Cut your cupchain to approx. 16" - 17" in length. Attach the cupchain ends and add a jump ring to one end and a lobster clasp to the other.

Start from one end and count in 13 cups. After the 13th cup attach a small jump ring, which should sit in the connecting gap between the cups. Continue in this way adding a ring in between each cup. Count in 13 cups from the opposite end and stop here so you match up with the other side.

Attach the end of one gold chain to the jump ring at one end. Let the chain loop down and connect it to another ring a few rings apart. This process should be random so don't worry about counting the links. Continue in this way until you have used all the chain. If you reach the ring on the opposite end start looping the chain back again.

Attach a second chain to a free jump ring and continue looping in the same way. Try to keep the necklace flat as you are working on it so the loops don't wrap over the cupchain. Continue until you have added all 3 chains. Try to use each jump ring once to hook the chain on to but towards the end you may need to hook on to a jump ring you have used before.

Once you are happy with your chain loops, take your semi precious beads. Thread some 8mm and some 10mm agate on to individual eyepins and loop the other side using round nosed pliers or the 1 step looper tool.

Link some beads together, I used between 6 and 8 beads per beaded loop. Make approx. 4 groups of linked beads and attach to the necklace by hooking on to a jump ring at one end and looping around to attach to another jump ring.
