Delightful Droplets Necklace
Delightful Droplets Necklace
Weave a collection of droplets into this stunning necklace! The teardrop decorative motif represents the chemical water; a source of refreshment, a path to cleanliness, and an essential compound for all life as we know it. In this piece, several droplet elements come together from a diverse collection of structures and forms. Use cubic right-angle weave (CRAW) to stitch several droplet elements, bezel flat back crystals and chatons using double prismatic right-angle weave (DPRAW), and complete the necklace with teardrop-shaped Swarovski crystals. You can explore mixing and matching these components for earrings, bracelets, and more.
This pattern is appropriate for beaders who would like to explore the different possibilities of CRAW and PRAW. Beaders who have stitched the Butterflies, the Peace and Double Hearts, or the Peacock Pendant are in great shape to stitch this design.
