| MY FAVORITE |
I made several necklaces of beads, buttons and bits pieces from other broken jewelry for myself & another for my sister. Both used green colored beads.
My mother saw my necklace and wanted one for her too. So I pledged to make her a necklace like mine. The two green necklaces put a drain on my available supplies..so I changed a couple things, and used a variety of beads/findings..to "stretch" out my green beads (spacer beads and larger beads).
I like stringing buttons and beads over a chain (instead of string)...saves a lot of time wiring and counting links. But unless you have a very fine chain, you'll need large hole beads which can get expensive. The middle strand was seed beads and butterfly spacer beads on beading wire. The inside strand was individual beads linked together. The outside strand was beads over chain. I used acrylic, wood, vintage buttons, glass, stone... A little bit of everything
