Bohemian Charms Crochet Necklace

  My daughter who is almost 8, like a lot of 8 year olds is really into jewelry making. Sometimes it is hard to stay out of her stash. This necklac is one of those times. I had an idea and I had to just go with it. I don't think she has minded that I have used some of her supplies especially if she gets to wear the finished product sometimes.

 I have some other ideas for how to assemble the necklace in different ways, but it will be all the same pattern. *edit* You can see that post here So stay tuned by Subscribing to Designs by Diligence.
