A charm necklace is a rewarding project to make  -  gather your favourite beads and charms, and make yourself a gorgeous charm necklace.

Using  headpins, make secure links and connections for each charm and bead you are planning to use on the necklace.  Attach a jumpring to each link so you can feed them onto the leather cord.  Use ronelles threaded onto the leather cord to spread out the charms and beads.

The length of the leather cord is 60cm and 1mm round - you can make the necklace longer or shorter.  The beads and charms were arranged with the heaviest and largest in the middle and the smaller beads to the ends - but that is just a basic guide.  The leather is secured with leather cord ends and a clasp.  Be sure your charms cannot slide off. 

See below for a small selection of beads and charms that you could use to create a "Riviera Holiday" necklace.
