Out West Necklace Set

$15 or less

About this design:

For this design, I used microsuede, seed beads, & silver accents to make a 3-layered necklace. I love the color combo & how they all look worn together, but they also look great worn separately!

What you’ll need: (buy products below)

  • Microsuede Cord
  • Silver Crescent Focal
  • Silver Semi-Circle Focals
  • Silver 24 Gauge Wire
  • Lobster Clasps
  • Jump Rings
  • Turquoise Seed Beads
  • Silver Tube Beads
  • Pavé Charm

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1:
Use the wire to make a bead link with 8 seed beads & 7 silver tube beads.
Step 2:
Cut two 7" pieces of microsuede. Cut one end at an angle so it's easier to slide the link on.
Step 3:
Slide the link onto the cord about 1/4" down. Bring the two pieces of cord together & wrap a piece of wire around them to secure around the bead link.
Step 4:
Repeat on the other side.
Step 5:
Attach the jump ring & lobster clasp to the ends in the same manner as in step 3.
Step 6:
For the next necklace, repeat steps 1-5, except use two 7.5-8" pieces of microsuede & use the silver focals for the bead link.
Step 7:
For the last necklace, cut one 18" piece of microsuede. Slide the focal to the middle. Use wire to attach the pavé charm & seed beads to the focal.
Step 8:
To attach the links to the cord- wrap a piece of wire a few times around the cord. Slide on the beads and wrap the other end of the wire around the cord. Finish in the same manner as the other necklaces.
