Description

We aren’t talking about Big Bird here; we’re talking about 2 little eloquently placed yellow birds that act as a strung focal piece for this delicate necklace. Feed the small bird beads through the hammered ring or you can simply wear it around your neck and secure it with a loose knot. However you want to wear it, this casual lariat will be perfect for that perfect summertime dress.

Required Materials:

2 yellow 4mm fire-polished rounds, 3 green 16mm flat pressed-glass rounded squares, 1 yellow 30 – 12mm (small) lampworked bird bead, 1 yellow 32 – 20mm (large) lampworked bird bead, 7 peridot 3 – 2mm rondelles, 6 citrine 5 – 3mm rondelles, and 2 brass 10 – 8mm bird beads.

Tools Needed:

Wire cutters, chain- or flat-nose pliers, and round-nose pliers.
