I used black wire so the bead colors would pop even more and simply picked size 11 beads from my stash to match the colors in the image. This is a great project to use your orphan beads and any size will work-adjust your wire length to accommodate. Once you get going on cranking out these cute beads, you can easily make matching earrings and a bracelet!

Cut 16 1" pieces of chain.

Open the end loop of a bead, insert one end of the chain, then close the loop and repeat on the other side continue this process with all the beaded links until the entire piece is assembled.

I made it long enough to fit over my head but you could add a clasp if desired.
