Description
Use beadweaving techniques to capture dazzling crystals in this perfect party wear project.
One of my most popular patterns – this tutorial uses right angle weave and monofilament thread. I’ll show you how to create individual bezels for crystal stones using seed beads. These components will then be embellished and joined together to create this sparkling statement necklace.
Perfect for the party season, use on-trend metallics with pretty pinks or try icy blues and silvers for some real winter sparkle. The monofilament thread is perfect for this project as it is invisible against the crystals!

I loved making this necklace! The pattern is very clear with good photos & diagrams. It made up much quicker and easier than I thought. I’ve already bought the supplies to do a second one!
