A display of strength is what you'll wear with guest designer Tracy Whitfield's Cascading Waves Necklace design featuring QuadBow® and PieDuo® Beads in classy bronze tones. To embellish the QuadBow® and PieDuo® Beads used in the design, you'll add plenty of seed beads that contribute to an overall timeless look. Choose to make the length of this beaded necklace shorter for a choker or longer, depending on your creative preference!
Technique Learned: Beadweaving
Start with a comfortable length of .006 Wildfire thread, adding a needle on one end and a stop bead on the other, leaving about a 6-inch tail. Begin with a QuadBow bead, sewing through the first hole from the inside edge, adding two 11/0 seed beads, and sewing down the second hole of the QuadBow. Continue this process, adding two seed beads at a time until the QuadBow is lined with 11/0 seed beads. Follow the video to design the beaded necklace, including the center and second side. To finish, add 3 seed beads and a wire guard, then 2 more seed beads, and come back down the last hole of the QuadBow bead. Ensure the thread sits in the wire guard and pull tight. Reinforce the top of the necklace by going through the seed beads again. Attach a wire guard to the other side and add a lobster clasp.
