It’s simple, artistic and fun! Here is how to make this simple necklace!

Supplies needed for the turquoise leather necklace:

Square Synthetic Turquoise Beads

Drop Synthetic Turquoise Beads
6mm Natural Mashan Jade Beads
Caved Tube Bead
Cowhide Leather Cord
0.5mm Silver Brass Wire
Side Cutting Pliers

How to make the simple turquoise bead necklace?

Step 1: Create the wire wrapped flower pendant

1st, cut a 25cm piece of 0.5mm brass wire;

2nd, string 5 drop turquoise beads to 5cm from one wire end;

3rd, take the wire to pass through the first bead for making a beaded loop;

4th, on the longer wire end, string 5 red jade beads. Next, create a beaded loop as did in the 3rd process;

5th, continually add 1 red jade bead on the longer wire end. Take the wire to exit at the back side of the turquoise flower;

6th, string another red jade bead on the wire and twist the two wires;

7th, attach the turquoise flower to the tube bead by threading the twist wire part through the center loop on it;

8th, fasten the wire with pliers. Apply some glue for secure if necessary.

Step 2: Decide the necklace pattern

1st, lay the flower pendant and beads of choice on a flat according to your individual preference;

2nd, cut a 40cm piece cowhide leather cord and string the beads and pendant;

3rd, push the bead to center location. Overlap the rest leather cord ends, tie two slip knots;

4th, keep about 3mm at two cord ends and trim off the excesses.

Done!
