DIY Flower Bead Necklace
Welcome to our second tutorial from the Xmas gift making series!
To make this necklace you need a crochet rosette )(pattern given below), different sizes of beads – both crochet and bare. Different shapes also make the necklace more playful so try this and experiment.  And a crochet tie or a sateen one.

Crochet a long tie (maker’s choice) or use a sateen ribbon instead. Work on the design of the necklace. I used eliptical beads as ends in between of which I placed small are beads and big crocheted ones. Slide the beads on and the necklace is done!

I hope you like the tutorial and would love to see yours if you decide to make one!
