Flora & Frog Necklace
About this design:
Green Girl pendants take you to a place of wonder. I love the earthy tones of the botswana agate with this garden themed pendant.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
-1/2 strand Botswana agate faceted rondelle (I listed a few other options in the product list below) -20 gauge wire -3mm bolo cord -glue on cord ends -2 jump rings -1 strand of 2mm fire polished Czech glass rounds in Matte Gold -9 head pins 24 g -super glue - bolo cord 2ft

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: String on 32 Botswana rondelles |
|
Step 2: Cut 2' of leather cord. Take one end and bring the wire up a half an inch and start wire wrapping back down to the beads. Take your time to make a very tight and clean wire wrap. Trim any excess wire. do the same on the other side. |
|
Step 3: Take an eye pin and open the loop. Slide on the pendant, close the loop. Wrap the wire around the center of the rondelle beads. Wrap the wire around the top of the pendant and trim. The pendants vary in shape a bit, you may need to just wire wrap it onto the necklace if it doesn't fit on the eye in loop. |
|
Step 4: Slide four 2mm Czech glass rounds onto 8 head pins. Wrap the wire in between the rondelles and wrap around the top of the Czech glass beads and trim any wire. Space the 4 beads apart from the pendant and then three beads apart for the rest. |
|
Step 5: Glue the cord ends on and use jump rings to attach the clasp. |

Crystal Canary says:Oh my, this is a great necklace! I love the earthiness of everything–from the leather & handmade GreenGirl focal to the beautiful striations in the Botswana agate. I also like how you picked up the bronze color with the beaded drops–nice effect. Nice work Andrea–winner design!
