Fairy Triangles Set

Weave a delightful little triangle-shaped component using two different kinds of triangle beads, and incorporate them into earrings, a bracelet, or beaded beads. The Fairy Triangles pattern describes how to weave the Fairy Triangles component; a petite piece of beadwork measuring 15 mm across. This pattern also shows you how to connect several of them together to create a bracelet or a pair of earrings. Finally, the pattern concludes with guidelines on how to use the geometries of the deltahedra to join these components together to make three different kinds of hollow, self-supporting beaded beads; the tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron. The guidelines in this pattern can be used to create the rest of the possible deltahedra-inspired beaded beads. Create a series of beaded beads, or weave a complete set of jewelry using this versatile design.
