Assembly
Lay out your motifs in the desired arrangement, mimicking the image. Start by placing the Central Drop Pendant (Motif 4) at the bottom center. Then, arrange a mix of Large Rose Blossoms (Motif 1), Small Flowers (Motif 2), and Detailed Leaves (Motif 3) around it, creating a graceful, flowing garland shape. Ensure a balanced distribution of colors and sizes on both sides.
- Use Color B (Cream) or Color C (Light Gold) thread to create connecting chains and picot arches between motifs. Join motifs securely with Sl St directly into existing stitches or by carefully sewing them together.
- As you connect, strategically incorporate seed beads along these connecting chains and into the centers of some flowers for added sparkle.
- For the back of the necklace, create a simple chain extension on each side using Color B, approximately 8-10 inches long (adjust to desired necklace length). Work a delicate edging along these chains by repeating: (Sc, Ch 1, Picot, Ch 1, Sc) in an alternating fashion, skipping 1-2 chains between repeats.
- Attach your chosen jewelry clasp to the ends of the chain extensions using Sl St or by sewing.
- Finally, weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
- Block your finished necklace by gently wetting it, shaping it on a flat surface or a neck form, and allowing it to dry completely. This will open up the lace and ensure a smooth, elegant shape.
