Blue Bells has no clasp, so make sure that you string the necklace long enough to fit comfortably over your head. I used some terrific multi-colored ribbon-style yarn to make this necklace, but feel free to experiment with the fabulous array of fibers that are available these days!
Materials:
Ribbon yarn
28 gauge wire
Czech crystals or other beads
Beading wire
2 crimps
2 dozen Indian bells
2 large-holed silver beads
Small beads, approximately 4 mmTools:
Large crochet hook
Scissors
Wire cutters
Chain nose pliers
Very pretty.
Thanks Sara! It’s probably at least partly because SoftFlex is my beading wire of choice…always
Very beautiful! The visual texture is well though out and the colours have been expertly combined. Brings certain pieces of estate jewelry to mind.
