Glass pink beads mixed with pearls make this a beautiful necklace!
Approximate Time 1 hour
Supplies:
Pink beads
pearls
seed beads
metal wire (or elastic or even fishing line)
I bought the pink beads from Wal-Mart (craft section). The pearls came from a yard sale and the metal wire came from another craft project. I have used elastic for my necklaces and bracelets, and have used fishing line. If you use fishing line, you will need the ends to put the necklace together. You can get those for a small pack for under a dollar at Wal-Mart as well.
Instructions:
String 3 pearls
String a seed bead
String a large pink bead
String another seed bead
String 3 pearls
String a seed bead
String a small pink bead
String a seed bead
Repeat all
The only measuring I do is when I get close to the end. I wrap it around my neck to see how it's going to look and feel. When I'm happy with it, that's how long it is.
I like using fishing line most because it is so flexible instead of stiff like most you buy at the hobby stores. Unfortunately, the one necklace I made with seed beeds (my favorite) has disappeared somewhere, plus I did receive many compliments on it.
Thank You! I would have never thought of using fishing line. I have only made one necklace I used the clear stretch stuff. I am really interested in starting to make some more jewelry. I will for sure try the fishing line. I already have the stuff to make the necklace you have posted. It's really pretty. Good job.
Very nice, I can't get enough of the best pink items. I will make that necklace! When I was about fifteen, I made a necklace for my Dad (hey, it was the sixties, he was a pothead..) and I made one small mistake. It fit over my head, but not his, it was too small!
