Quick Project Steps

Start with a right angle weave base using 8/0 seed beads, creating a length suitable for your necklace.
Begin adding flower cups with fringe technique, alternating between adding single flower cups and groups for a graduated effect.
For the central drop, use a detailed fringe technique to add flower cups in a denser pattern.
Mirror the pattern on the other side of the necklace to complete the base design. Add seed beads along the top edge of the necklace for reinforcement and aesthetic finishing.
Attach a cup button clasp, reinforcing the loop and ensuring a secure finish.
