Kaleidoscope Necklace
About this design:
I love a layered look, and I especially love the look of paperclip chain, so for this design I layered a few different styles of chain and added in colorful bead links for a light & summer-y inspired necklace.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Paperclip Chain
- Lobster Clasps
- 24 Gauge Wire
- Jump Rings
- Peruvian Turquoise Round 6mm
- Chakra Chips
- African Glass Seed Bead Mix

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Use the wire to make bead links with the gemstones & seed beads. Attach the links throughout your desired lengths of chain (either attach them directly to the chain links or attach with jump rings). |
