Part 4: Assembly
Attach Beads to Flowers: Using your fine sewing needle and thread, sew a small seed bead into the center of each blue flower. Secure tightly.
Arrange Motifs: Lay out the main necklace band. Arrange the blue flowers and olive green leaves along the bottom edge of the central portion of the band. Experiment with their placement, alternating colors and varying the lengths of the dangling elements.
Attaching Motifs:
Direct Attachment: Using the tails from the flowers and leaves (or matching sewing thread), sew some flowers and leaves directly to the bottom edge of the main band.
Dangling Elements: For motifs that dangle, crochet a short chain (e.g., ch 3-7) from the main band’s bottom edge, then attach a flower or leaf to the end of this chain.
Adding Beads to Dangles: Integrate the medium and larger faceted beads into the dangling elements. For instance, crochet a short chain, thread on a medium bead, ch 1, then attach a motif. Or, attach a motif, then ch a few stitches, thread on a larger bead, ch 1, and secure. The very bottom-most elements on the necklace in the image have the largest teardrop/faceted beads as their final drop.
Vary the lengths and arrangements to create a natural, layered look as seen in the image.
Attach Clasp: Using jewelry pliers (or sewing thread), attach your chosen jewelry clasp to each end of the main necklace band.
Weave in all remaining loose ends securely. Your beautiful new Floral Crochet Statement Necklace is ready to wear!
