Monstera Leaf Necklace
About this design:
The monstera leaf focal paired with the acetate makes a great, lightweight pendant. I paired them with natural pink freshwater pearls & malachite chips for a tropical-inspired necklace.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
Wood monstera leaf focal, acetate coin link, natural pink potato pearls, malachite chips, beading wire, gold 11/0 seed beads, crimp tubes, crimp covers, jump rings, lobster clasp.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut a 15.5" piece of beading wire. Make a loop at one end through the loop of a lobster clasp & secure with a crimp tube & crimp cover. Slide the pearls, malachite chips, and seed beads on in the order shown in the picture. In the center, attach an acetate coin link to the beading wire with a jump ring. Continue sliding on beads until you've finished. Finish By making a loop at the end & securing with a crimp tube. Attach a jump ring to the loop. Attach the monstera leaf focal to the acetate link with a jump ring. |

Granny Nancy says:I’m curious as to why you chose pink pearls. They look white on the computer but I read that they are pink.
