Flower Choker Necklace

Step 1 Cut approximately 10cm of wire. Thread it through the big fancy stone setting through the two small settings and back up to connect them all together. At the top, thread the two ends through one hole but leave a loop to put your 4mm jump ring in. Twist these together cut off the excess and hide behind your stone. thread your jump ring through the loop at the top and twist. Then put your Swarovski Fancy stones in and secure.

Step 2 Cut about 30cm of the floral cord enough to go around your neck.

Sew the ends up so that they will fit neatly into the end caps and glue in place. Add 4mm jump rings to both end caps. On one of your end caps add your small chain and the other add your lobster clasp.

Step 3 Now cut your Semi-Precious Chain down to 2 x 20cm. Attach both to a 4mm jump ring that is then attached to your 10mm jump ring.

On this ring also add your Swarovski part. Now thread the floral cord through the 10mm jump ring so the ring will sit in the middle at the front. Finally attach the two semi precious chains to the two jump rings on the end caps.

Purple Heart Crystal Bracelet Designed by Kara Make this beautiful bracelet. Using crystals and a single charm for that elegant look.

BEADING LEVEL

beginner intermediate expert

How To Make Your Purple Heart Crystal Bracelet: Step 1 Start by cutting roughly 80 cm of elastic off the reel, better to have too much than too little. Thread half through one of the clasp holes and make sure you have the same amount of elastic on each side. Now thread on 26 Crystal beads on one half and 26 on the other except midway which is after thirteen beads add a heart charm and continue with the other thirteen.

Step 2 Once you meet the end of each row you want to add the other clasp half to one of the rows and then thread back through the opposite row, likewise with the other row, make small knots as you thread and hide the knots inside each of the beads discretely securing the bracelet.

I was inspired by watching Sarah Millsop on Create & Craft show.

That I had to make the earrings shown. Hers looked fab. Here are mine!! I used glass beads with gold plated findings for the green, blue & pink ones. The blue earrings are silver plated findings. I am not sure which I like best.

Coisla O'Halloran I like the blue most! The silver makes them stand out more but the gold ones are such pretty colours. Sarah will love to hear that she inspired you Coisla!

I'm not a fan of wire wrapping because I'm not great at it but this year I've decided to teach myself properly. Here's my first attempt in a lot of years. Any good?
