I like the cute star charms on this necklace.

Artbeads Chief Jewelry Designer Cynthia asked her daughter Jessica to join her on the Artbeads Cafe and make cute jewelry. Jessica ended up making this adorable necklace featuring star charms and a lovely TierraCast charm with a flatback in the center. Cynthia taught her how to attach the focal to leather for a quick finishing touch. You can watch Cynthia teach Jessica how to make this necklace in this special Artbeads Cafe Live episode.
