Floral Cluster Pendant Necklace


Cluster Pendant's are so difficult to photograph! But Oh So Easy to make! 
Like beyond easy!!!

What you need:
 beads (I used the cutest flower beads)
headpins (mine had a loop but you can use without)
Jump Rings
Pliers
Approx 10 minutes

What to do:
Follow the pictures below; 
Thread a bead onto a headpin and bend the headpin at a 90 degree angle.
Using pliers bend the headpin back around to form a loop. 
Snip off the excess wire. 
I made my cluster kind of short and chunky, so I made up 6 beads.

Next:
Add 2 beads to a jump ring, close it
Loop another jump ring through the first one, then add a bead to each side of the opening. 
Repeat!
Add a final jump ring and attach to a chain!

So cute and seriously simple to make. 

I made this green cluster pendant with smaller flower shaped beads and added a large ring spacer to change up the look.

Here I have shown you 3 looks for this particular pendant. 
I love them all to be honest, I wouldn't know which to choose. 
 This look is really pretty and Summery and so easy to make. Have a look at these earrings that Amy from One Artsy Mama made.. Cute, cute, cute!!!
 
  I hope Amy and I have inspired you to try this technique. Don't forget to stop over and say hi to Amy.


Take Care everyone,
