\"blended<\/a><\/p>\n

For this week’s jewelry project\u00a0I show you how to take any two colors of seed beads and blend them together into a beautiful\u00a0necklace. I’ve been on a turquoise and copper kick lately and I absolutely LOVE\u00a0how this came out.<\/p>\n

If you were to use two colors next to each other on the color wheel (such as blue and green) the effect would be subtle and lovely. Use colors opposite each other (such as purple and yellow) for a dramatic look.<\/p>\n

The bead stringing takes a little bit of time, but if you watched my Bead Spinner video last week you’ll know how you can do this much faster.<\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0the chart that I showed in\u00a0the video, just help clarify the order of things.<\/p>\n

You could do this on a smaller scale for a bracelet, or change any of the section lengths\u00a0to suit your needs.<\/p>\n

And here’s a bonus tip that I discovered. The beaded portion of this necklace is quite long, about 27 inches. If you want to shorten it a bit,\u00a0a\u00a0fun way to do that is to tie a\u00a0loose knot with\u00a0all the strands. I put mine slightly off center and think I’m going to love wearing it this way.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the video and happy creating!<\/p>\n
