LEAF NECKLACE DESIGN IDEA

With Coco, Wood And Glass Beads




Want to make a leaf necklace?

Here is an idea: A long sautoir with "blooming" flower beads and a natural coco pendant.
Natural coco comes in different beads/charms (flowers, leaves, chips...) and finishes (natural or dyed). Because they are so lightweight, they are easy to use for any jewelry making or crafting projects.
Yellow glass beads and silk thread add some light and brightness to this handcrafted jewelry. They provide a nice counterpoint with the grey and dark brown beads.
Some blooming flowers (wood bead-charms) are added randomly along this leaf necklace.
