I had so much fun making a
rolled muslin flower for yesterday's card that I decided to make several flowers for future projects -then I decided that I would make a necklace. Have you been seeing the rising popularity of the "bib" necklace like I have?
Got out all my tools, beads and findings to get started. I took a few minutes to lay out the beads in the order that I wanted to use them.
Here's my favorite part - Do you see that each flower center has part of a barrel clasp on each side? This makes my necklace interchangeable!!! I can wear it with the white flowers and then quickly change out for the linen colored ones!! I am a VERY slow beader (I've never had a class - I learned from books so I'm sure there are lots of time-saving tips I could utilize that I don't know yet) so making one "beaded necklace" base and then interchangeable centers is a good choice for me.
Here it is with the white flowers - Now my problem is to decide which set to wear while I pick up the kids from school! WHOO HOO - I am really tickled at how this turned out - FUN!!

I also would take too much time actually putting the beads together, good on ya for persevering!

love it- and I haven't had any classes on beading either, but I think making it interchangeable is genius! ;)
