Hand Carved Beaded Butterfly Necklace

Hand Carved Beaded Butterfly Necklace
I'm not sure how many of my readers have ever used a Dremel tool before but let me assure you, there's just some jobs that little tool is wonderful for and hand-carving as well as shaping wooden beads definitely fits in this category.

The focal bead in this handmade necklace is a carefully fashioned wooden drum bead that's been stained a deep brick red then hand-carved with a beautiful little butterfly motif along its round curve. It was then joined by bamboo tube beads that have been stained a matching shade of red, small cream colored bone beads and a touch of golden accents for shimmer.

All brought together, this hand carved beaded butterfly necklace has a natural charm that's sure to make it a favorite to wear and has been designed with an extension chain at the nape so it can be worn tight like a choker or a bit more loose like a necklace.
