Sparkling Snow Necklace Set

by Elaina W on 11/25/20

$5 or less

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.

    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.
