Designer Tips:
This necklace is very basic! The dangle down the back is by far the most complex component, and it is quite easy.
* Arrange the beads and bead caps however you choose! You can dap more wavy disks to create more caps if you prefer a more symmetrical look.
* Dap the brass wavy disks before applying patina.
* Patina the bent leaf charms and the wavy disks before assembling.
