I love this idea. Nice for travelling, I can take one chain with a variety of beads. I can also see me making them for Christmas and birthday presents. Thanks

I like that you can change out the jewels you use. You can really personalize this with your outfit. Another great tutorial, details is great!

My youngest daughter has been wanting to get into jewelry making. This looks like this might be a great tutorial for her to begin with – or at least for mom, who has no skill, to help her with 😉

This is an excellent tutorial! I love the photography and super easy instructions! I’m a super newbie jewelry crafter and is addicting!
Cheers,

Such a cute idea!! I love the idea of being able to change out the charms, instead of buying lots of necklaces. Thanks so much.

Rena~ your newsletters are always a high point in my sometimes sketchy online experience. I usually scroll through the topics, choosing the most delectable. But this month’s is so full of sweets I’ll be checking out the topics in order. I love the interchangeable necklace. The themes/gifts can be endless. This forum is like no other and I appreciate it. Thank you for being such a giving person. You have made my 2013 brighter and I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season. Cora

Thank you, Wylene! 🙂 I’m sure your gift recipients will be delighted with what you create for them.

Thanks, Nicole! The beads I used here are all glass, and I purchased them from various Etsy sellers over the years. I often shop for beads on Etsy because there’s a huge variety there, and you can get usually small quantities with very reasonable shipping.

Thank you, ladies – and happy holidays to you as well! (And you’re right, I do Christmas! 🙂 )

Pam, I so appreciate your kind words – thank you! Great idea to offer the charms separately so the purchaser can create a custom collection of bead charms. I can even see people coming back to you on a later occasion to purchase a few new charms for their necklace.

Once more, Rena, you have come up with another SUPER idea! Such a simple concept, like some of your others, yet nobody else has come up with it! You share the BEST stuff here! I would love to offer the necklace separately and people could pick their “charms”. Also, what a GREAT way to use those oddball leftover beads! Adding this to my to-try list! Thank you so much and have a wonderful Christmas! (Safe presumption, I think, but if not, happy “whatever holiday you celebrate”!
