Bonheaur Necklace a'la Infarrantly Creative

Many, many months ago (November, to be exact) I saw a fantastic post at Infarrantly Creative on how to make a Bonheur Necklace. I bookmarked it and have kept it in my mind for... well, 3 months! I finally found the beads at the Goodwill a few weeks back and started my project. The necklace that I bought (for about $2) was originally a three strand choker. I took it apart, re-strung it and then set it aside. Today I finally finished it by making the organza flower. I didn't do any sort of tutorial because the post that I saw it on has a great step-by-step. Check it out by clicking HERE.

Without further ado, on my gorgeous model, my very own Bonheaur Necklace:

I love how it is asymetrical and the one flower where the two strands meet. I'm looking forward to a chance to wear this beautiful new piece... thanks Infarrantly Creative!!!!
