STEP 1: Arrange your beads in the order you want them. I played around with several different patterns before finding the one I liked best.
STEP 2: String beads onto your stringing wire. Or use child labor…lol.
STEP 3: Add a crimp bead and jump ring to each end.
To do this, thread wire through crimp bead, then through the jump ring, then back down through the crimp bead. Use a crimping tool to secure the crimp bead, or squeeze it tightly with pliers. Cut excess stringing wire.
STEP 4: Attach chain to jump rings on both sides.
If you’re making a long necklace like mine, you don’t need a clasp because you can just slip it over your head. If you prefer a shorter necklace, cut the chain in the back and add a clasp and jump ring.
Now it’s ready to wear! I love the variety of colors because it will go with pretty much anything in my closet! Especially my coral pieces…;)
What do you think? Is there a place in your jewelry wardrobe for a multicolored statement necklace like this?
