Queensberry Treasure Beaded Crown Pattern

Description

We’ll weave a regal crown, stitched using circular peyote stitch and embellished with tiny pearls. Set it off by topping a dramatic crystal pendant for a fun necklace.

These beaded crowns have so many uses and there’s ample opportunity for variations! I’ve included instructions for crowns of different sizes, perfect for earrings, charms and more! The tutorial includes instructions for making up matching earrings and a bracelets as well as the main pendant shown.

This design was inspired by a dramatic crest captured in wrought iron that I discovered whilst exploring Drumlanrig castle in Scotland. It’s the Dumfriesshire seat of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and Queensberry.
