Serenity Garden Set
About this design:
This week, I loved these new Czech Glass Hibiscus coins so much that I decided to make a matching set! I think the peach moonstone looks great with the flowers, and I love how the soft colors along with the lotus pendant give off a very tranquil & calming vibe.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 24 Gauge Wire (gold or brass)
- Beige Chinese Knotting Cord (leather cord would work as well)
- Czech Glass Fire Polished Round 4mm in Ivory (1 strand)
- Czech Glass Hibiscus Coins (1 strand of the crystal w/ pink & 1 strand of the ivory w gold)
- Czech Glass Gold Daisy Spacer (1 strand)
- Gold Earwire (2)
- Peach Moonstone Pebble (1/2 strand)
- Peach Moonstone Round 6mm (1 strand)
- Gold Headpins (2)
- Super Glue
- Strawberry Quartz 4mm (1/2 strand)
- Seed Beads (see below for seed beads used)
- Walnut Wood Lotus Focal (1)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: To make the necklace, I made bead links (attached directly to each other) with the Czech Glass hibiscus coins, the peach moonstone round 6mm beads, the 8/0 seed beads (crystal with mauve lining & crystal with gold lining) and Czech Glass fire-polished round 4mm Ivory beads. The length is 21". |
|
Step 2: To make the Lotus necklace, I simply knotted the Chinese Knotting Cord around the top of the pendant. The length is 15-16". To finish, I glued a 4mm faceted strawberry quartz bead to the center of the lotus. Leather cord would also work for this as well. |
|
Step 3: For the bracelet, I made bead links (attached directly to each other) with the Czech hibiscus coins, the peach moonstone 6mm beads, and the seed beads. |
|
Step 4: For the earrings, use a headpin to make a bead charm with a peach moonstone nugget. With a 3" piece of wire, make a bead link (attach directly to the charm) and slide on a gold-lined seed bead, a 6mm round peach moonstone bead, a gold Czech glass spacer, and the ivory w/ gold hibiscus coin. Slide the link onto the loop of the ear wire. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
