Shell Chips and Pearl Beads Bib Necklace

You may have noticed that spring is approaching, have you prepared accessories for your spring outfit? Here we made a new necklace whose color fits perfect with spring and this is a tutorial on it.
Making this necklace needs two main steps. Step one is to make howlite beads, pearl beads and shell beads into dangles. Step two is to string all kinds of beads and the dangles together. It is very easy to make! Let’s get started.
First we will carefully select the beads we need as the color of beads need to fit the spring theme. The type of beads we use is synthetical howlite beads Strands, oval pearl beads, freshwater shell chips beads and Iron Filigree Beads. Concerning freshwater shell chips beads, we mainly choose beads whose colors are closer to pink like the color of flowers. As for other materials, we need head pins, eye pins, bead caps, tiger tail or copper wire, jump rings, twisted iron or brass chains, spring clasps as well as knot covers. In addition, we need tools like pliers and scissors.
Now we will prepare the pendant. While making this, we use the jump ring and a heap pin to connect a shell chips bead, this will be at the end of the pendant. Then use eye pins to connect the oval pearls. Then intersect and thread the oval pearls and the shell chips beads on the wire and make a ring with pliers on the other end, you have already made a pendant. Repeat this process and prepare seven pendants.

After that, we will start make the necklace. You can follow the order in the picture and thread the rest of the beads through the tiger tail with adding the pendants to the appropriate position. Furthermore, add one bead to one end and the clasp to the other end and you can wear the spring necklace now. It looks as if you are wearing a branch of flowers.
