Mon Petit Chou - Resin Flower Necklace
|
This free necklace project features a large resin flower, sparkly glass beads and gunmetal ball chain from Rings & Things.
Created by: Amy Mickelson
Mon Petit Chou is a French for my little cabbage, a term of endearment. The resin flower reminds me somewhat like an ornamental cabbage.

Tools and Supplies:
#60-265 Adhesive, E-6000®, 0.5oz
#69-271-99 Tool, Glitter, Four-Piece Set
Designer Tips:
- Apply the adhesive in a well-ventilated area. E-6000 has a strong odor.
- Use flat-nose pliers to flatten a crimp end onto the beading cable, making sure the cable is straight and centered in the crimp end.
- Can't find a ball chain connector in the plating you need? Just slide a head pin through the inside of a ball chain clasp. Make a wrapped loop attaching it to the loop on the crimp end before completing the wrap.
- Design Option: Finished length is 24". If you want a different length necklace, just cut a different length of ball chain.
