Beaded Choker Necklaces

It turns out these little necklaces are hard to photograph! But here's some of the better snapshots anyway, for your viewing enjoyment. These fun chokers are easy to make and you can use ALL sorts of beads. We used semi-precious stone beads and Mary Ann gave us loads of choices.

Enjoy!

The workshop is $20 plus the cost of the beads (they range in price from $10-$20). Or you can purchase a necklace already made for $20. The pendants are all various prices, from $25-$100; there were enough choices to find one for all of the beads we were using.
