Beaded Fruit Punch Pattern

Description

Create sparkling crystal fruit charms perfect for almost any project – learn how to make lemons, oranges, cherries, strawberries and pineapples using beads to add some zing to your summer wardrobe!

The lemons, oranges and cherries are ideal for beginner beaders, while the strawberry and pineapple are a little more challenging. This Japanese style of beadweaving uses a variation of right angle weave. It works best when created with a clear monofilament thread to help give the charms structure.

Ideas are included for turning your fruity creations into bracelets, earrings and pendants – but the only limit is your imagination! Why not incorporate your charms into your own beaded jewellery designs?
