    Quick Project Steps

    Metal rectangular forms filled with a variety of beads make up this eclectic Anthology Woven Necklace. In this PotomacBeads tutorial, you will learn how to explore your creative side to bring together a selection of beaded components into an aesthetically pleasing piece of jewelry.
    1. Pick up the first bead in your design and bring the thread through the form and back through the bead. Add your next beads to fill the space across the top of the form. Pull the thread tight and bring the needle under the frame and back through the beads in the opposite direction. Go around the frame again and back through the beads to reinforce the row.
    2. Watch the Anthology Woven Necklace tutorial to learn tips and tricks from Anna to create the components and string them together in this unique beaded necklace.
