for this style, i'd stitch some
sort of tube on the back of
my flower, string a strand (or
strands?) of seed beads that
would fit over my head and
through the tube, then add
big pearls to the ends of the
strand(s). the tube would allow
me to slide the flower up and
down the strands.
Multi-straND
for this over-the-head necklace
with no clasp, i'd use the flower
petals to connect straight-up
strands of pearls interspersed
with a strand of chain and pearls.
it would look especially nice with
the flower over to one side.CHOker
i'm at an age that i don't really
want to wear chokers anymore,
but if i were to give this necklace
to my daughter, who has a beau-
tiful neck, it would look great.
i'd sew a multi-strand clasp to
the back of the flower and string
strands of pearls between the
clasp ends. i suppose this would
make for a nice bracelet, too; i'd
just have to make the flower a
bit smaller.
