Woodland Mushroom Pendants

About this design:

This is a unique and whimiscal way to use bead caps. These are perfect for a woodland or Alice in Wonderland themed design. I used Czech glass teardrops for the stems, gemstone points would look great too.

What you’ll need: (buy products below)

You will need Czech glass teardrops, lotus bead caps, flower bead caps, head pins, and spacer beads. I listed variations of components you could use for the mushrooms in the product list.


Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1:
For the large mushroom I used the 23x11mm teardrop and the 19x15mm flower blossom bead cap. Slide your beads onto the head pin in the order shown. I used a bigger spacer bead, like the rhinestone rondelle under the bead cap. This gives the perfect space between the cap and the teardrop, about 4mm. Create a loop at the top with your wire.
Step 2:
For the smaller mushrooms, I used the 15x8mm, 13x7mm, and 10x7mm teardrops with the smaller lotus and acorn bead caps. I liked using daisy spacers for these, I used two spacers (about 4mm) in between the teardrop and bead cap. Create a loop at the top.

    Took me a while to see them–really?!–but once the mushrooms came into focus–there’s no missing them now. Clever way to use bead caps of all shapes & sizes!
