This Art Nouveau focal is reminiscent of the beautiful paintings and stain glass art of the period featuring mossy greens, bronzy metallics, iris blues, and lavenders.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Collect all of your chosen seed beads and begin stringing beads onto the 4-ply Irish waxed linen. I like to string from the middle of the necklace out. Use a random pattern to mix up the colors and textures of the beads.
TIP: I like to tie a knot in the waxed linen every so often while stringing the beads to keep the necklace strand from becoming too taut.

Step 2

Once you have strung one side of the necklace, you should string the pendant, pulling beads through the back loop of the pendant. Then string beads on the other side of the necklace

Step 3

TIP: String your inside necklace 3" shorter that your outside necklace, this will allow that strand to nest nicely within the other strand.

Step 4

Now that all of the stringing is complete, attach the button to one end and a loop on the the other end.
