Fleur Necklace

This was my project last week :)

As the color of the moment is coral, I wanted a white and coral necklace to match my summer outfits.

I found a free pattern on Beads Magic -

I had a few problems with the pic thought - couldn't work out how many beads were in each flower - so I did a bit of a chart to assist - if you use this in conjunction with the pattern on beads magic, you should have no issues :)
