This is a beautiful bib necklace, I am really looking forward to making it. I just ordered 2 of your diamond design bib pendant connectors, can’t hardly wait to see how it comes out. Thank you for your tutorial.
I wish they had added in the description how many of those 11mm teardrop beads were used, I had to count them from looking at your photo and I think there was 39?
There are 38 Teardrops used in this necklace.
