Sparkly Seasonal Necklace Beading Pattern

Learn the fun technique of basic wire wrapping to create this "Sparkly Seasonal Necklace," featuring sparkly beaded links with wire loops on either side, perfect for connecting to form a wire-wrapped beaded chain.  Make your wire-wrapped chain any length you'd like, including shorter for a sparkly bracelet or anklet. This versatile design lets you choose your favorite colors or use just one color, as shown with our two blue samples.  We chose sparkly pink, yellow, purple, orange, and green for a fun autumn necklace, and for a festive holiday look, we used varying shades of red and green. A great project for beaders of all skill levels, including beginners.

This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 30 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions.  Be sure to check out our coordinating "Sparkly Seasonal Bracelet" for a complete set.
