Project details:

This week I was really excited to design with these new seed beads- the colors are all so vibrant! For this design, I used headpins to create an ombré focal piece. I thought the deep purple looked great with the greens, so I paired it with an aquamarine nugget to create a unique (and easy to make!) layered necklace.

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

Gold or Silver Arc Focal (1)
Gold or Silver Headpins
Gold or Silver Chain (2')
Czech Glass Gold Spacers
Beading Wire
Aquamarine (or a similar color) Nugget
Jump Rings
24 Gauge Wire
Super Glue
Seed Beads
Crimp Tubes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Make 5 bead charms with the seed beads & headpins. Slide the beads on in the order shown in the picture.

Step 2

Attach the charms to the gold arc focal with the jump rings. Place a small drop of glue on each jump ring so they don't move around. Attach the chain to the arc focal with jump rings. Move about 2 inches up the chain & cut it. Make a bead link with a 2" piece of wire and attach it directly to the chain. Slide on 2 light green seed beads, a gold seed bead, and 2 more light green beads. Loop the wire to the other piece of chain to connect them back together.

Step 3

To make the focal for the seed bead necklace, slide a gold spacer, an aquamarine (or similar color) nugget and another spacer onto a headpin & make a bead charm. On beading wire, slide on the seed beads & the focal in the center.
