Main steps on how to make bead jewelry-an exquisite handmade beaded necklace:

Step1: Make a flower shape of the beaded charm

Part1: make petals of the flower.

Firstly: prepare a 1m Nylon Wire, and add 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*8 onto it center position; then cross two wire tips through the 12mm Glass Pearl Bead.

Next, pick up one wire tip and string another 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*8 onto it and then pass it through the hole of center pearl bead to make two tips get together.

Thirdly, feed one tip to the adjoining two 12/0 Glass Seed Beads; to another tip, add on 4mm pink Glass Pearl Bead*1, then make a loop with 4mm Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead*1 and 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*6; at last, cross two tips through another 4mm Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead.

Fourthly, almost all processes are just as same as the above procedure, the only difference is when make loop with the Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead and 12/0 Glass Seed Bead, replace the middle two 12/0 Glass Seed Beads with one Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead. Repeat the above two procedures alternatively until the end. And you will have a semi-finished handmade beaded necklace.

Part2: how to end.

To the end, when pass the inner wire tip from the nearby two 12/0 Glass Seed Beads, pass it through the adjoining 4mm pink Glass Pearl Bead directly; and then pass two tips together through another 4mm Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead.

Step2: Repeat for the back side of your handmade beaded necklace

Part1: make the link part of two sides. Add 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*2 onto each wire and then cross two tips through one 4mm Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead. Repeat same actions three times.

Part2: flower part of handmade beaded necklace. Differ from that in Part1, here you need to make the “petals” of the flower part at first, namely, to the inner tire tip, you need to add 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*2 but not string two like you did in Pert1. In the end, lead the outer wire from the 4mm pink Glass Pearl Bead to make two tips gets together.

Part3: add the 12 mm pink Glass Pearl Bead. When complete the flower part, pass both tips through the 12 mm pink Glass Pearl Bead; then separate them to pass 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*8 respectively. At end, tie a knot firmly and cut off the excess part. Here you have got the most vital two parts of your handmade beaded necklace.

Step3: Sew the above two side

Pick up anther 40cm long Nylon Wire;

Firstly, from the middle loop of connected part, weave the wire through the 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*6, then cross two tips through another 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*2;

Next, when string each adjoining 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*2, repeat cross two tips through another 12/0 Glass Seed Bead*2(During that, when came across the top 4mm Light-Cyan Glass Pearl Bead, just regard it as two 12/0 Glass Seed Beads group). Then you have finished the whole processes about how to make bead jewelry.
