    Quick Project Steps

    Start with the central bead, creating a drop using a headpin and Athenacast Hollow Filigree Link. Use beading cable to string Czech Faceted Round Beads, transitioning into waxed linen cord for a mixed media effect. Integrate Czech Turbine and Dagger Beads with Miyuki Seed Beads for added texture and visual interest. Split the beading cable to introduce asymmetry, adding dimension with layered beads. Finish the assembly by securing the ends with crimp beads and integrating waxed linen cord at the back for an adjustable closure. Add decorative seed beads at the ends of the cord for a polished look.
