Hand-painted pendants like the one at the center of this necklace are filled with amazing colors that gleam beautifully. Cheri made sure to pair this magical pendant with equally magical beads and charms. Vintage TOHO beads provide an enchanting iridescent green shine, while Vintaj beads and charms add even more Woodland Wonder to this design. Since our vintage TOHO beads are available in limited supply, make sure to check out our Perfect Product Pairings below for other beads you could easily use in this design.
Cut a length of Antique Copper 18 gauge Artbeads Designer Wire approximately six inches long. Add a TOHO Demi Round 8/0 bead in matte-color iris teal, followed by a Vintaj Artisan Copper pineapple bead, and another Demi Round. Make a wrapped loop at one end of the beads. Start a wrapped loop on the other end of the beads. Before finishing the loop, make sure to slide on a 1 1/2-inch length of antique copper-plated textured oval cable chain and the forest squirrel on mother of pearl pendant. Close the wrapped loop.

Repeat twice, only adding five vintage TOHO beads to the last sequence. Add a Demi Round, a vintage TOHO, and three 6mm Czech glass rounds. Then, slide on your squirrel focal. Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the focal.
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!
