Rosebud Necklace
About this design:
I love the simplicity of this design and how quick & easy it is to make (while also being budget friendly). I simply slid seed beads & Czech glass bead charms onto the leather cord to make this easy-to-wear necklace.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Leather Cord 1.5mm
- Pink Tourmaline Faceted Round 3mm Beads (1/2 strand)
- Seed Beads
- Headpins
- Cord Ends
- Super Glue
- Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasp
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Use headpins & pink tourmaline to make 6 bead charms. Slide them onto your desired length of leather cord (I used a 15" piece) separated by gold 6/0 seed beads. Lastly, attach the cord ends & a lobster clasp. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
