Frosted Crystal Necklace
This winter, let your jewelry complement the outdoors with a beautiful frosted crystal necklace! Use our beaded necklace patterns and this easy video tutorial to learn how to make your own.
Materials:
- 8mm clear round glass beads
- 8mm clear faceted glass beads
- 6mm matte white faceted glass beads
- Crimp covers
- Crimp beads
- A spring ring clasp
- .019” diameter beading wire, preferably silvery white
- Wire cutters
- Crimping pliers
- Long-nose pliers
- A ruler
Instructions:
- Measure and cut your beading wire. The length should be two times the length of your desired finished length plus 4”.
- Close the loop on your spring ring clasp.
- Thread your beading wire through the clasp loop and center the clasp on the beading wire. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it near the clasp.
- String three random beads on one strand of wire and two random beads on the other strand. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it about 2” from your first crimp bead.
- String two random beads on one strand of wire and one bead on the other strand. String a crimp bead on both wires and crimp it about 1-1/2” from your last crimp bead.
- Continue this bead design and crimping until you have reached your desired length.
- Before you crimp your last crimp bead, string on the other half of your clasp and thread the wire ends back through the crimp bead, forming a loop. Crimp the crimp bead in place and trim the wire ends. Attach your crimp covers and close them securely.

This is a very pretty little frosted crystal necklace to wear for everyday wear. It looks like it would be a lot harder to make than it is after watching this video. It was very well done and very informative. I like the white crystal beads but I can see it done out of red or green crystal beads for Christmas or even two different colors or a pretty ice blue. A great necklace for a gift for a special friend or family member for any occasion.

Now I know how to do this type of necklace. I always thought it was too difficult to make. I am going to enjoy making these and others for myself and as gifts for family and friends. :)"
