I think this is such a fun and easy way to use up some of those leftover beads you may have lying around.
Sometimes after finishing your jewelry-making projects, you might have beads leftover that you just don't know how to use. There may not be enough for a beaded strand or they don't match other beads you have. This example is a great way to use up those little amounts of leftovers and turn them into a stylish necklace design. These variations are inspired by Cheri's Stormy Weather Necklace. See these projects and more ideas for using your jewelry-making leftovers in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Slide the beads of your choice onto a 2-inch gunmetal-plated 20 gauge eye pin and make a simple loop at the top of the beads. We'll list the bead patterns for our examples in the following steps.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown
below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from
the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up
the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color
scheme—it’s up to you!
Please wait while we add the products to your cart.
