This necklace first appeared in Beadwork Magazine’s August/September 2013 issue. These instructions
are my more expanded and personalized version.
While I’ve embellished all but the top row of this netted necklace, you could create a more restrained
version by only embellishing the front center of the necklace, or doing only the bottom two rows. It’s
your choice how fluffy it gets!
Also, I’ve used Swarovski pearls in multiple colors and sizes for the embellishment in the kits. The
original was done in freshwater pearls. But you can certainly play with your own bead ideas for
embellishment –fire polished beads, crystals, rondelles, drops.
