Bohemia Necklace
Project N216
Designer: Andrea Morici
This Boho-chic necklace evokes a free spirited lady with an easy, eclectic, devil-may-care style. The color
palette is a warm, antique-ish mix of rich reds, earthy browns, and a touch of turquoise; all in the form of
various Czech glass.

Instructions:
- Begin by threading a delica and a Czech glass flower onto a headpin. Make a wrapped wire loop on the headpin, just above the flower, and trim off excess wire. Create four more of these flower dangles, for a total of five, and set them aside.
-
Use your flush cutters to cut a piece of beading wire that is approximately two feet in length. Secure one end of the wire with a Bead Stopper.
-
Onto the wire string the following:
- two inches of alternating 6/0 red seed beads and 10/0 delicas (beginning and ending with a 6/0 red seed bead)
- a brass oxide heishe spacer
- a 6mm druk
- a heishe spacer
- a turquoise fluted cathedral bead
- a heishe spacer
- a druk
- a heishe spacer
- one inch of alternating 6/0 red seed beads and 10/0 delicas (beginning and ending with a 6/0 red seed bead)
- a brass oxide heishe spacer
- a 6mm druk
- a heishe spacer
- a red fluted cathedral bead
- a heishe spacer
- a druk
- a heishe spacer
- one inch of alternating 6/0 red seed beads and 10/0 delicas (beginning and ending with a 6/0 red seed bead)
- a brass oxide heishe spacer
- a 6mm druk
- a heishe spacer
- a black fluted cathedral bead
- a heishe spacer
- a druk
- a heishe spacer
- and one inch of alternating 6/0 red seed beads and 10/0 delicas (beginning and ending with a 6/0 red seed bead).
-
Now string the middle section by threading: a brass heishe spacer, a druk, a heishe spacer, and a flower dangle. Repeat this sequence four more times, and finish by threading another druk, heishe spacer, druk, and one more heishe spacer.
-
When you have completed stringing the middle section, string the second side of the necklace as a mirror image of the first.
-
Onto the end of your strand thread a brass crimp bead, but do not crimp it yet.
-
Thread the end of the strand through the loop on one half of the toggle clasp, back through the crimp bead and several consecutive beads, pull the wire snug, and crimp the crimp bead.
-
Remove the Bead Stopper from the other end of the necklace and repeat the previous step here.
-
Place a crimp bead cover over each of the crimp beads and gently squeeze them closed.
-
Trim off excess beading wire.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
