It’s time again for our creative editors to bring you an art bead project for $10 or under.
This week’s design features beads from 2 different artists! Just call me McFrugal. 
Supplies:
Disk bead (Humblebeads)
Ceramic leaf (Every Heart Crafts)
Brass hammered ring
Brass bead cap
6mm pearl
4 brass 8mm jump rings
1 brass 4mm spacer
1 brass headpin with ball
3″ brass 24 gauge wire
18″ gunmetal chain
(Brass from Bello Modo, chain from Rings & Things)
Directions:
1. Wire wrap the disk bead with the brass wire.
2. On the headpin string the pearl and bead cap, trim wire and form a loop.
3. Attach the leaf and both dangles to the hammered loop with jump rings.
4. Attach a jump ring on the top of the loop and string through the chain.
The $25 or under variation:
Have some extra cash in your pocket? Spruce up this project with a tiny little charm from Hint, like the precious little hummingbird below.
This project is from Heather Powers of Humblebeads.

Thank you for featuring my leaf charm on your project today! I love it! I’m such a sucker for charm necklaces myself. This is so cute and for $10 or under you can’t beat that! Thanks again!
