    Quick Project Steps

    What’s not to love about a dragonfly surrounded by crystals and pearls? Find out how to create this large Dragonfly Coin Pendant in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
    1.Put a stop bead on the thread and pick up a 15/0. Bring the thread and needle down through a hole in the Potomax channel ring. Add a crystal round, a seed bead and another crystal to the thread. Skip a hole and go back up the next hole in the ring. Add a 15/0 and go back down the same hole catching the crystal underneath. Put on another seed bead and crystal, skip a hole and go back up the next. Repeat around the ring.
    2.Watch the Dragonfly Coin Pendant tutorial with Marissa to see how to complete the design and add the dragonfly pendant.
    3.Decide which way you would like the dragonfly to be positioned and add some seed beads to create a bail for the pendant. Reinforce by threading through the loop a couple more times.
    Using the brass and bronze colors gives this Dragonfly Coin Pendant a nice vintage look. It hangs nicely from a leather strap or chain of your choice.

    I always enjoy my interactions with POTOMAC BEADS, whether ordering from the website or attending and ordering during the live sales. I have ordered from BEAD ON IT BOARDS through Marta , spoken with Alli a time or two and am happy with my purchases. I am however anxious to purchase a cover for my lap board before I purchase another to give a friend overseas.

    I struggle every time I try to place an order due to my email address or password or whatever.  Haven’t been able to figure out why-so I do ‘forgot password’ look for the reset and aww-can’t cuz my email is already in use (yes, by ME) But if I tap continue all my information is already there. Just have to go through it every time I want to order. Frustrating due to so much out of stock. I love the quality of the items available.
