Raindrop Flower Necklace
Raindrop Flower Necklace
Stitch a flower shaped beaded pendant out of teardrop beads and Japanese seed beads! The Raindrop Flower Necklace features a gorgeous focal pendant woven using a variation of the right-angle weave (RAW) technique, complemented by three different kinds of bubbly beaded beads. The pendant also works well by itself on a simple chain, and the beaded beads also make a great matching pair of earrings!
This pattern is appropriate for beaders who are familiar with right-angle weave and who would like to use this technique to create beaded beads. Beaders who have mastered the Double Bubble Jacks beaded beads are in great shape to try out this design. The pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions showing how to weave each component of the necklace and how to string them together with matching round crystal pearls.
