Bohemian Rhapsody Necklace Tutorial

Do a two-seed-bead back stitch to embellish the Golem Design Studio stoneware brown with pink and tan flowers round cabochon. Add a second layer of bead backing or use a piece of felt from a craft store to hide the stitching.

Two-Seed-Bead Backstitch Tutorial

Create a beaded edge using the brick technique to finish the cabochon.

Brick Stitch Edge Text Tutorial

Glue the TierraCast antique copper heart bail glue pad to the finished cabochon using 5-minute two-part epoxy. Allow the glue to dry.

Cut three strands of jewelry wire approximately 21 inches long. Attach one end from each strand to its own 4mm copper-plated 18 gauge open jump ring using a 14K/20 gold-filled 2x2mm crimp tube.

String a random pattern of 3mm dark brown Czech round beads, 3mm copper-plated Czech round beads, 3mm bicones in Indian Pink and 4mm bicones in Lime onto each wire. When you reach the center of the strands, thread the pendant bail onto all three strands. Finish the strands with more Czech round beads and bicones in a random fashion. Use bead stoppers where needed to hold your beads in place as you work.

Attach the finished wire strands to a second set of jump rings using crimp tubes.

Connect all three strands together using one 8mm antique copper-plated open jump ring on each end.

Attach the loop portion of the JBB antique copper-plated pewter flower toggle clasp to one 8mm jump ring from step seven and the bar portion to the other 8mm jump ring.
