This design is stunning as day or evening wear with small crystal reflecting light
Material needed
1m Nylon Thread
Seed beads
4mm crystals
3 feature beads
Super Glue
Sticky tape
Tip
Space the crystals out every 2 – 3 cm to give a sparkly effect
Step One
Secure one end of the nylon thread with a piece of sticky tape and begin to thread the seed beads and crystals in a random pattern for approximately 60cm.
Step Two
Remove the tape and place both ends of the thread together, then thread on a feature bead. This will form the beginning of the drop section of the necklace.
Step Three
With both threads together, thread a selection of seed beads and crystal and then a second feature bead. Continue threading the beads until there is approximately 8cm of thread left.
Step Four
Thread on the final feature bead (heart) and three or four seed beads and then tie a knot to complete the drop. Place a dab of glue on the knot to keep it secure.
