Sparkling Snow Necklace Set
About this design:
This week, I had gift-giving in mind! By spending approx. $20 on materials, you can create four unique, simple, and budget friendly designs-perfect to give as a set, or split them up & you'll have multiple gifts to give- with each design totaling just $5!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 4.5mm moonstone faceted round (1/2 strand)
- Lobster Clasps (3)
- Headpins (pkg. of 40)
- Earwire (2)
- 3mm, 22 gauge Jump Rings
- Gold Stainless Steel Small Cable Chain (2')
- Gold Half Flat Delicate Cable Chain (1')
- Freshwater Rice pearls (1 strand)
- Gold CZ Charms (2)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: For the charm bracelet, begin with a 6-6.5" (or your desired length) piece of chain. Attach a jump ring to one end, and a lobster clasp to the other end. Make bead charms using the rice pearls, moonstones, and headpins- attaching them directly to the chain (or you can attach them using jump rings). See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
|
Step 2: For the bar bracelet, begin with two 2.5" pieces of chain. Make a bead Link using a headpin (Cut off the flat end of the headpin) & 5 moonstone beads. Attach the link to the chain with jump rings. Attach a lobster clasp & charm to one end of the bracelet, and a jump ring to the other end. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
Step 3: For the earrings, slide a piece of stainless steel gold chain (a little under 1") onto an earwire. Make a bead link using a headpin (Cut off the flat end of the headpin) and 2 moonstone beads. Attach the link directly to the chain. Make a bead charm using a headpin & a rice pearl. Attach directly to the bottom of the bead link. |
|
Step 4: For the necklace, begin with a 4" piece of the gold half flat delicate cable chain. Make bead charms with the rice pearls & moonstones. Attach them to the chain using jump rings. I also attached a CZ charm using a jump ring. Use jump rings to attach each end of the cable chain to 7" pieces of gold stainless steel chain. Finish by attaching a lobster clasp & jump ring to the end. I also made a bead charm with a headpin & two rice pearls & attached it to the end of the necklace. |

Granny Nancy says:Wow, you are so creative. Your fingers must have trouble keeping up with your brain as I suspect its going a mile a minute thinking of new ways to use all the beautiful beads.
I do love how you made one set that can be used as two sets and how its so affordable. Congratulations.
