New Design

This basic weaving design looks great and can be mastered quickly. The seed beads snaking around larger (5-7mm) beads creates visual interest and the fringe acts as a focal point. This pattern can be adapted for a variety of materials. Our new crackle glass beads would be a sparkly choice.
