beads with a variety of textures and materials&#8211;glass, metal and plastic.\u00a0 The colors are all warmer toned and put together, the pinks, orange and brown remind me of a sunset.\u00a0 She also incorporated beads with a double holes which separated the two strands nicely.\u00a0 The two strands combine into a single strand toward the back of the necklace and are finished with a gold toggle clasp.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jensfindings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/PSX_20150625_032557.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium

time for Kelsey to string the multiple strands of seed beads and bugle beads, she make her bead selections quickly as she simply used various shades of pink and magenta.\u00a0 Again, she used a lovely combination of textures, such as shimmer, opaque, and faceted beads for extra shine.\u00a0 While one side of the necklace does utilize a multi-strand metal finding, the other sides incorporates a silver toggle clasp as a design element.\u00a0 This necklace falls to just below the collar bone which allows each of the beaded strands to drape together nicely.<\/p>\n<p><a

glass beads that came in both chips and faceted rounds.\u00a0 The chunkier section of the choker was made using a daisy chain technique.\u00a0 Because the faceted round beads are so big, rather than making separate daisies that lay flat, they become a chunky focal point for the piece.\u00a0 The &#8220;daisies&#8221; look almost like a helix pattern.\u00a0 This might be my favorite of her most recent creations!\u00a0 I love the way this necklace turned out.\u00a0 Let me know if you might like to see a tutorial on how to make a beaded daisy chain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a

reflects her own personal style.\u00a0 It is a boho piece that really casual.\u00a0 It is just edgy enough for a teen to enjoy wearing it with the blue skull beads and large metal pendant.\u00a0 Again, she mixed a variety of materials in the necklace which gives it additional contrast and interest.\u00a0 I like the bronze metallic beads and the use of a large silver toggle as part of her design.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these pieces is unique and different.\u00a0 Some of the pieces are casual and some are more dressy.\u00a0 Either way, Kelsey has added to her jewelry stash nicely.\u00a0 Which is your favorite necklace?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single
