It might be frustrating when you don't have enough beads for a full beaded design, but there are other options for finishing your project. Cheri demonstrates how chain can make a wonderful option for finishing looks in this necklace design. She paired chain with Dakota Stones gemstone beads and Czech glass. You can see more ideas for how to finish jewelry when you don't have enough beads in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 8 inches long. Slide a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube onto one end, followed by the last link of 7 ¾ inch length of antique silver-plated textured oval link chain. Make sure the last link is a larger link on the chain. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the center faceted round bead.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
