Beaded Jewelry Designs for Thanksgiving!

Beaded jewelry designs can be inspired by the Thanksgiving holidays. I am in awe of the beautiful fall colors in my neighborhood as the leaves fall off the trees in shades of rust, yellow,greens and reds. What a beautiful site! I love leaves and the shape so I took some left over leaf beads and added some seed beads and came up with this beaded jewelry necklace. You can copy this project with your own beads and color scheme. Here are the materials:

3 tubes of seed beads 11/0 in bright lime green,sparkle brown, and gold

2 feet of small gold chain

3 gold split rings

5 assorted focal beads of your choice

26 or 28 gauge gold wire about 12 inches long

1 gold magnet clasp

Start with your large focal bead and string to the middle of the gold wire. Twist the wire at the top and then separate the wire and alternate twisting one wire and one bead on one side and one wire, one bead on the other. Make a wire loop at the top and add your split rings to add to the loop to attach your seed bead and chain strands. 

Now enjoy your beautiful beaded jewelry designs for thanksgiving!
