There are so many colors in this super cute Anytime necklace that you can wear it with anything, anywhere. Watch this PotomacBeads tutorial to learn the technique used to create
1.Using a size 12 needle, put a stop bead onto .006 Wildfire thread. Add three seed beads and a crystal. Repeat the pattern three times. Thread back through the first seed bead to form a loop. Go back through the first crystal and seed bead before it.
2.Watch the Anytime necklace to see how Allie designs the beaded necklace.
3.Once you’ve reached the desired length, add a clasp to the end and tie off the thread. Take off the stop bead on the other end and put on one more crystal and attach to the clasp. Use a thread zap to burn the thread ends down.
The Anytime necklace is a great introductory project for new beaders but is so fun that beaders of all levels will enjoy making it. Look to PotomacBeads for all your beading needs and inspiration.

What a fun, sparkly, easily beaded necklace-or bracelet-or earrings, almost endless possibilities. Thanks, Allie, for sharing with us.
You're welcome, Sue!
Absolutely love this necklace. Perfect for women who like dainty jewelry! I also want to thank you for improving the quality of the video. Very clear and close enough to see exactly what you are doing. Thanks Allie!
You are so welcome!
I finally found something to make my mum for Christmas this year!!! Thanks so much for this design. I have TONS of 4mm bicones sitting around just waiting for the right project. I think I’ll make a matching bracelet as well. Might even make a pair of earrings and a ring. Off to bead!!! 💜💜💜
Thanks, Heather! Sounds like you're in for a lot of fun!
That necklace is beautiful and I adore the color combination used. It looks stunning on your neck and I love that it’s just 2 beads. Bicones are my favorite! Super simple but very elegant. I also appreciate that you can use almost any Bead so you don’t have to purchase anything special. Thank you Allie!
I'm happy that you like it, Robina, thank you!
Allie I love your videos. You show us new bewies stitches we can make. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot for sharing what you know with us! Something else that I love from you is that you put the links of the materials that you're using for every project, that's great, and also easier in case we want to buy them!🤗😊 Love it!🥰🥰
I love this project. The design is very versatile. Thanks Allie.
You're welcome, Josephine. When you make yours, please join our Facebook group for Beading and Jewellery Making, and share some photos with us!
I love this so much and so versatile and easy. One of my favorites. l made it with the stated supplies, yet it was shorter by almost a foot than stated. I will add more components to make it 36' so it can be worn as the double shorter length.
We love this idea!!!
Allie, Thank you for this sparkly necklace. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. That will make a great gift. Thank you for sharing your design with us. Have a great night.
Thanks, Francine! I'm so glad you like it. Are you going to join us for the live Q&A in about 5.5 hours? (9:00am EST)
Finally a tutorial with normal beads it would really be nice if you stuck a Little tutorial like this in every now and then not all of us can pay the exorbitant amount of money for 2,3,4 hole beads and if you could please could you do a little close-ups on your hands so we can see exactly what you're doing. TYVM happy holidays
Hi Coleen. Thanks for the feedback. I am inspired by new beads and tend to design with those because not many other have. I try to make a point to do videos between that use very little shaped beads and focus more on plain beads. In the last month I have done 7 additional for you :) Check them out on our page including:
Midas Earrings - ua-cam.com/video/WzDaOYQSzVU/v-deo.html
Rivoli Toggle - ua-cam.com/video/KsblVBc8GTM/v-deo.html
Natalus Earrings - ua-cam.com/video/z62eqjO8aDM/v-deo.html
Deco Earrings - ua-cam.com/video/4SX4yD_mZho/v-deo.html
Crystal Tassel Caps - ua-cam.com/video/zObfGan97EI/v-deo.html
Raw Stretch Bracelet - ua-cam.com/video/vy4ZN_TtJDY/v-deo.html
Stackable Memory Wire - ua-cam.com/video/9_famJK1Ims/v-deo.html
None of these use shaped beads other than crystals and some Czech glass. I made this list to help others as well looking for the same information. So 8 total in the last 30 days .. I will shot for more :)
I agree with you Coleen. I am on a fixed income and can't afford to buy and try every new bead that comes out. (I wish I could!) This necklace is something I will enjoy making as I have a ton of bicones!
@@police1957 same here I have not tons but quite a few 4mm bicones. I think I will try this necklace it's really pretty. I really wish they would make more videos like they did in the beginning before all these tons of spectacular beads came out. just ordinary beads tutorials that's all I want every now and then maybe once a month? Happy holidays and many blessings
I am so grateful to Allie for posting all these amazing videos that we get to learn from . And they are all free! About those new 2,3,4 hole beads she uses, you do realize that she sells beads and those sales are what feeds her family and enable her to keep uploading those free tutorials. I also cannot afford to buy them all, but I still appreciate her sharing her designs and inspiring all beavers.
@@police1957 Did you read her reply to your initial post? In that reply she listed 7 different videos just in the previous month before this was posted that used basic beads. Dozens have been done in the intervening 7 months as well. That comes out to several each week that just use basic beads, which is still more than most designers are making.
I love this necklace so much I had to make one then it was 2 then 6, and people love the look (multi color)
Great idea to use up my Swarovski bicones! Thanks Allie 🎄😊
You're welcome, Claire.
Such a gorgeous necklace. ❤️Love the shinyness and different colors..❤️ It's kind of hard to see how your making it. Looks easy. Think I can figure it out. 😊
You are an amazing instructor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Beautiful and creative as always. Love your beading techniques.
Thank you! Here is another similar style necklace you also may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/all-the-time-necklace-tutorial
That necklace is just beautiful!!
Thank you :)
Thank you :)
Great necklace. I have a ton of Bicones and seed beads so this will be a good use for my beads! Love, love, 💘! TFS Allie
Thanks, Linda.
A really beautifully designed necklace she made. I have a baby of 3 years old. I can't get time to make all of these as I have to take care of her. I find a beaded child necklace for my daughter in Laclassy. It is very affordable in price. It suits the budget to make all things to buy make the necklace.
Beautiful.
Thank you
Bellissimo progetto, facile, ma di grande effetto!! Grazie
Prego, Anna!
Wow that's great! Your a easy fun teacher thanks.
Beautiful yet easy, and quick design. Love the fact that I can use beads on hand. I also would love to make many more of your designs but can’t afford the necessary beads, so thank you very much for that.
Thanks, Barbara, glad you liked it! Drop hints to your family and friends for Christmas and birthday presents. 😜
Oooooh shiny!!!!!!!!!! I love everything shiny!!! Thanks Allie!!!
Thanks, Michelle!
Lovely design. I like how the design reinforces itself so much in each element. Should be nice and strong that way. No fear of it breaking if my dog jumps on me and gets her paw stuck on it, or a friend's baby grabs it cuz it's so pretty.
BTW, I use my wire straightening pliers to straighten my needles (holding the eye end with another pair of pliers).
I'm so glad you like it, Michelle. Yes, that's the best way to straighten the needles, although eventually they will break, but we always have spares, don't we! Are you a member of our Facebook group for Beading and Jewellery Making? If not, you'd be most welcome. Lots of friendly and very helpful beaders!
@@Potomacbeadco Oh yes, I have to keep plenty of needles on hand. I've broken lots.
Yes, I'm a member of the FB group. It's my fav beading group. I've shared there a few times. Just been preoccupied with other stuff of late.
Such a fun and beautiful design. Can't wait to make one, or two ... ❤
Almost finish making my
Turned out beautiful! This would perfect to wear out for new years party. Unfortunately this year not happening. Its ok I'll still wear it around the house .Thnx so much 💓
Thank you for this lovely project!
You're welcome, Stella!
I get a lot of complements on this!!
Good morning from Texas, I am puzzled how to stiffen larger pendants or earrings to keep its shape! Thank you in advance ☺
This necklace is also wonderful thanks
Thanks for liking.
I don’t know how I missed this last week, but it is super cute! I think using pearls would be gorgeous too!!
I just received my order from you so I can make my earrings! I can’t wait to get started! 💜
Would love to see what yours look like, Sharon!
Stupenda🥰
thank you
Hermosoooo , graciass
Thank you
i like it i never have done necklace like this i would like to try it i am a beginner do you think i can do it please tell me what threat would you suggest for a beginner thank for shearing God bless you
Thanks, Allie for something simple yet affordable and very pretty! I have already sorted out my bicones to make it!
That's great, Pat! Did you know we have a Facebook group for Beading and Jewellery Making? You can post your photos, ask questions, and get tips and tricks from a friendly and helpful group of beaders!
@@Potomacbeadco yes. I'm a member.
It would be so much easier for me if you started right at the beginning of the necklace and go step by step for me. I am very new to this and have no idea where to find simpler ones.
thanks!
Thank you for this feedback
Love this design. I need more designs to use all those 6mm beads I have. Thanks
Glad you like it, Doris. You can also use 6mm rounds for basic Right Angle Weave and then embellish with seed beads and montees.
Also check out the LIVE from today that I used them for you ! ua-cam.com/video/fDlzYCQd2x4/v-deo.html
Très joli . J'aime 💞
Thank you, Louisa.
Great looking and so flexible. As an older lady I wonder, did you have a chance to use10o seed beads instead of 15o? If so - How did it look? If so: which size wire in necessary, and which size Fireline would you suggest? Thanks so much for your shared "treasure".
You can certainly try using 10/0 seed beads but it will look very different. I always use Wildfire 0.006” but many of our beaders prefer Fireline so that will also work. Just use the Fireline with the Beadsmith name on the label so you know it’s the right thickness for beading.
Great necklace, agree with the feedback on multi-hole beads......how about Potomac create bundles of multihole beads so that we don’t have to buy a large lot of one type of beads to just make one piece....? That’s how I procure my Swarovski crystals
Hi Allie ty for sharing this cool necklace i will do definately try this i have plenty of bicones ty. Xc
Have fun with it Gail!
@@Potomacbeadco oooh i will, ty for the inspiration huni.. xx
It would be very nice if you could do a little close up?
Es muy bonito 😍 gracias por compartir, sólo quiero decirle que su cámara está muy retirada y se dificulta un poco ver donde metes la aguja.
Muchas gracias :)
❤️
Hi I wanted to say thank you for this beautiful neck anytime necklace. I got so many compliments on it and was asked to make it for people and I have no idea how to charge. Would you be able to help me know how to charge it? what length thank you so much and I’m looking forward for an answer.
Hello! Here is a great video with tips on how to price your jewelry. www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/better-beader/better-beader-episode-038-pricing-your-jewelry.html
Here is another video that explains all about necklace lengths. There are some things to consider when choosing a length and this video will help!www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/better-beader/better-beader-episode-101-necklace-lengths-tips-for-flattering-designs.html
I love my Anytime necklace and my kids keep forgetting to bring back once "borrowi g it!!
i found same example at Laclassy
Really like the necklace your wearing in the video....is there a pattern for it?
Hi Dee, thank you so much. You can check the Anytime Necklace pattern here: www.potomacbeads.com/anytime-necklace-pattern
Hi Allie, beautiful as always. I`m wondering if the bicones wouldn`t be a little uncomfortable and scratchy around the neck, I`m sure you could use other kinds of beads but I do like the bicone idea,,,just wondering about the feel of them, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Nettie. The bicones don't feel scratchy at all, but if you wanted to, you could add a length of chain for the back. Some people prefer that.
Also check out the LIVE from today... I think you were on line during it but here is the link for you.. ua-cam.com/video/fDlzYCQd2x4/v-deo.html
Beautiful work .. how can i goin the beading group you just mentioned🌺
Do u know what past stock I have of s crystals?! Making this now....
This is so beautiful,
How long is the necklace?
As long as you need it to be. Mine was about thirty two inches.
Bonsoir, je ne parle pas votre langue, pourquoi expliquez-vous votre collier quasi à la fin de votre travail? il aurait fallu nous montrer depuis le départ. très joli collier.
Hi how did you start out with the necklace how did you make your first group I can't get it stay so I'm doing something wrong 😂 😁
Hi Tina, you start out with a stop bead then add: 3 seed beads, 1 bicone, 3 seed beads, 1 bicone, 3 seed beads, 1 bicone, 3 seed beads, 1 bicone. Then drop them down and loop back through them to form your first group.
Have you considered joining our Facebook group for Beading and Jewellery Making? Lots of friendly beaders there who help each other with tricks and tips, and explaining things! 😃
Thank you I got it
Gostei do modelo, mais infelizmente não deu pra ver direto como faz, você deveria aproximar mais a câmera assim ficará melhor pra fazer esse trabalho lindo ok.bjos
Estamos aprendendo um equipamento novo, então, por favor, seja paciente um pouco. Obrigada Dulcinea. :)
@@Potomacbeadco agradeço sua atenção e fico aguardando outro vídeo desse mesmo modelo beijos
It a pretty necklace but what do you have for beginners like myself.
Hi Anastasia, are you on Facebook? We have a group that you can join, which will help you start your beading journey. Beading and Jewellery Making (hosted by Potomac Beads)
Here's one you can try as a beginner. Make a " RAW Gemstones " Bracelet

I think this one is pretty beginner. Just take it slow and go easy on yourself if you make a mistake. There were many projects that I was afraid to do because I thought they would be so hard, but I finally jumped in and tried them and they were so much easier than I thought and I was proud that I completed something that looked so complicated.
👏👏👏❤️👏👏👏👍
