  • Quick Project Steps

    Start the Connector: Thread a liquid silver bead, a 15/0 seed bead, and another liquid silver onto your thread. Loop through the silver beads again, skipping the 15/0, to form a connector loop. Form the Base Triangle: Add: 8/0 seed bead – liquid silver – 8/0 – liquid silver – 8/0 – liquid silver. Pass back through the starting 8/0 to create a triangle shape. Add Tublet Triangle: In each 8/0 corner, add: 15/0 – tublet – 15/0, skipping the silver bead and passing to the next 8/0. Repeat three times around the triangle. Reinforce the Tublet Center: Weave through the tublet and 15/0 pairs. Add one extra 15/0 between each tublet to close the inner triangle tightly. Start a New Segment: After exiting an 8/0, add a new triangle using three liquid silver beads and two 8/0s between. Pass through the previous 8/0 to form the triangle, then repeat the tublet-adding process. Link Segments: Use the same silver-and-15/0 connector loop between triangle sections to maintain structure and flexibility. Attach the Clasp: Add three 15/0s, then the clasp loop, followed by three more 15/0s. Reinforce the clasp loop multiple times through the seed beads. Secure the Thread: Pass the thread under a bridge thread, make a double knot, and weave through a few more beads. Trim the thread close to the beadwork using a thread burner. Repeat for the Other End: Add the final triangle, secure it, and attach the second clasp using the same technique.
