Free-Flying Necklace

Up | Previous | Next

The sky’s the limit with this necklace. We mixed and matched butterflies, birds and hearts for this easy design. But you can choose pieces to personalize your own style.

Step one: Cut two pieces of chain approximately 15 inches long. We used antique copper-plated, large circle link chain for one side of our necklace and antique copper-plated, large squares and ovals chain for the other side. Link together five 6mm antique copper-plated open jump rings. Link the two pieces of chain together with these links to make one long chain.

Step two: For our focal point we chose the large copper cross with heart center and made a bail for it to hang from using a 5 inch piece of Soft Flex, six 8/0 Toho bead triangles and a 2x2mm copper crimp tube, connecting the two loose ends of the chain together with it. For the copper heart bead, use the 2-inch 21 gauge copper head pin and make a wrapped loop. For instructions on How to Make a Wrapped Loop, please see the Handy Tips section.

Step three: Attach 6mm antique copper-plated open jump rings to your pendants and charms, and arrange them on your necklace. Have fun with this part and express your individuality.
