Double Strand Necklace with Flower Resin Pendant

Tammy Powley
While the inspiration for this double strand necklace originated with my Resin Flower Bezel Pendant, it turned out so well that you can wear this double strand necklace with or without the pendant. Even those who don't know how to bead weave will be able to string up this double strand design that includes seed beads, pearl, crystals, and copper spacer beads.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

266 Gold-colored size 11 seed beads (about 5 grams worth)
200 Olive-green colored size 11 seed beads (about 5 grams worth)
8 - 4mm Semi-round olive green pearls
16 - 4.5mm Copper daisy spacer beads
4 - 6mm Bicone-shaped smoky quartz-colored crystal beads
2 Gold-tone bead tips
40 inches of .010 Soft-Touch beading wire
Awl or corsage pin
About 1 foot of 21-gauge dead-soft brass wire
Resin Flower Bezel Pendant (optional)
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
Jeweler's file
1 Bead Stoppers
