Materials Used To make The  Project

Quick Project Steps

Prepare Materials: Gather your chosen gemstone, seed beads, bugle beads, beading thread, needle, and leather cord.
Start Beading: Attach a stop bead to your thread and begin laying out your beads to form the base of the cage.
Middle Section: Use the right angle weave technique with your chosen beads to create the middle section of the cage.
Secure the Gemstone: Carefully place your gemstone within the partially formed cage and continue beading to encapsulate it fully.
Closing the Cage: Finish the beading pattern to completely secure the gemstone within the cage.
Add the Leather Cord: Attach a leather cord through the top of the cage, securing with knots for a natural, earthy look.
