Once again we bring you DIY Friday!
When T brought home these Lapis Lazuli stones from her China travels, I immediately thought of the magazine cover (below) that she posted here in December. After a complete fail attempt at beading them myself, I recruited lil sister to put it together for me using her gold beading wire. (She is the beading pro in this neck of the woods.)
What we used:
Round stone beads
Gold beading wire
A clasp
Pliers
Lots of beading skill!!
There are plenty of simpler ways to put this beaded necklace together if you, like me, can't do this nifty wire-work. Threading a ribbon through with a bow at the back would look really good.
T will make her necklace soon, so watch out for Lapis Lazuli 2.0!

Natural stones are really nice to wear, as long as the individual pieces are small sized. They hurt your neck A LOT, if they have bigger beads. :/
