It’s officially October people, so I’m kicking off the month with a quick Halloween Jewelry project! I love October. My husband and I got up super early to go to the store for a few things, including some pumpkins. We found some with long stems. Is it me, or is a pumpkin without a stem a little bit sad looking?
For this necklace, I used JesseJamesBeads.com bead mix in strands and funky singles along with that sassy black chain. The “bones” of the necklaces are connected with black Beadalon wire and gunmetal crimps. Take a peek!
Use this tutorial if you’re new to stringing beads on wire. It will show you how to crimp, connecting the wire to the chain.
Lately, I seem to be stuck on making slip-over-the-head necklaces and I made them two different lengths so I could wear them together. This striped bead in the next picture is one of my very favorites.
So, I’ve got a pretty big to-do list that’s calling my name. Top secret projects await. Don’t you hate teasers? 😉 You’re going to love this surprise though! 
On another note: Tomorrow our children’s gallery, the Wabash White House (I know, I still need to post about this special little place!) is open from 5 to 8 pm for First Friday in Wabash. If you’re local, come get in the Halloween spirit with us!

Can you tell me exactly which bead strands and single beads I need for this necklace – I love it! Many thanks!
Thanks! I got those beads from JesseJamesBeads. Sending you an email and copying my contact there to see if we can get you fixed up!
