Baubles and Lace Necklace Beautiful hues of cobalt and
teal dispersed throughout this lacy creation will take you to a tropical
place. This necklace is so different and fun to make and it is easy,
too! We have used our beautiful beaded beads from India together
with some crystals, spacer beads, and metal beads, all strung on our silver
mesh. We think the result is lovely.

Directions:
Step 1: Twist one
end of the mesh to make it as thin as possible. String a bead cap,
a cobalt beaded bead, and another bead cap. The hollow part of the
bead cap should face the bead.
Step 2: Find the center
of the mesh and place the bead cap, bead, bead cap combination in the center.
Tie a knot after the bead cap on either side. You do not need to
tighten the knot.
Step 3: Fan out the
mesh by gently pulling on either side of the mesh (see picture).
Step 4: Tie a knot
after the fan and string a teal spacer bead, a cobalt spacer bead, a crystal,
a cobalt spacer bead and a teal spacer bead. Tie a knot and fan the
mesh.
Step 5: Tie a knot
and string a celestial bead, tie a knot and fan the mesh.
Step 6: Repeat Step
4.
Step 7: Tie a knot
and string a bead cap, a cobalt beaded bead and a bead cap.
Step 8: Tie a knot
and leaving the mesh tightly woven, thread a crimp hook. Place it
at desired length and crimp the center to the mesh. Trim off excess
mesh.
Step 9: Repeat Steps
3 to 8 using the crimp eye. Enjoy!
