Czech glass 2-hole Honeycomb beads have been bead woven together with Austrian crystal faux pearls to create a beaded bead focal for this lovely necklace. The beaded bead is then suspended from sterling silver beading chain for a sleek and modern look.
Reboot: We have replaced the discontinued Hodge Podge Blue Lumi Honeycomb beads originally used with complementary Pastel Montana Blue.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

Please note that you are purchasing 2 feet (24 inches of chain) for this project. The instructions below will teach you how to make a 16 inch long necklace. You will have enough chain to make up to a 24 inch necklace if you choose to do so.

To make the focal for this necklace, please watch the video: How to Make a Beaded Bead with 2-Hole Honeycomb Beads. Through the course of the video, you will learn step by step how to bead weave the beaded bead and trap that larger Austrian crystal faux pearl inside.
After you have completed your beaded bead, set it aside while you start to construct the necklace.
Cut 16 inches of your beading chain. Onto one end, secure a crimp bead with loop.
Slide your beaded bead onto the other end of the chain via the hole in the large Austrian crystal bead.
Secure a crimp bead with loop onto the end of the chain.
Open a jump ring and link it to one of the secured crimp beads loops. Close the jump ring.
Open a second jump ring and link it to the other side of the necklace and also link on the loop at the base of your lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
All done!
