Show your mom how much you care for her by creating this beautiful necklace that is full of vibrant colors and unique elements. For a fun necklace using less of a flower motif, feel free to use the alternative components we've listed below.
Step One: On a 2-inch antique brass-plated eye pin string a 6mm druk bead in olivine crackle, a gold antique small Turkish heishi bead spacer, a 7x5mm fuchsia yellow roundelle, a spacer bead and an olivine druk. Finish with a simple loop. For help with simple loops, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Repeat three times. Set aside.
Step Two: Attach the gold-plated pewter two leaf pinch bail to the stoneware large flower bouquet heart pendant. For help with bails, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Link two 8mm antique brass-plated open jump rings together and use them to connect the bail to the center of the antique gold-plated pewter fern link. For help with jump rings, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
Step Three: Connect together in this order: a 4mm antique brass-plated open jump ring, a beaded eye pin from step one, a gold-plated pewter clover-shaped heart link, another beaded eye pin and a jump ring. Add an approximately 7.5-inch piece of antique brass-plated textured oval link chain, jump ring and one end of the antique vintage brass-plated pewter teardrop toggle clasp.
Step Four: Repeat the steps to create the other side of the necklace.
