Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This necklace measures 32 inches. To modify the size, adjust the length of chain used.

Please watch the video: How to Do Cellini Spiral Stitch With Two Hole Beads. Using what you have learned in the video, begin by cutting 4 feet of beading thread, or as much as you feel comfortable working with, and string on your size 12 needle. As you weave, you will need to tie off and add new thread.
String on your first row of beads as follows: Four 15/0 White, Two 11/0 Antique Bronze, Two 11/0 Teal, Two 8/0 Frosted Gold, Two Purple SuperDuos, Two 8/0 Frosted Gold, Two 11/0 Teal, and Two 11/0 Antique Bronze.
Tie a double overhand knot. Take your needle and go through the first two 15/0 White beads. You are now ready to begin your weave as seen in the video.
Follow along with the video to weave your pendant to the desired length.
Sew on your bead cap, add your 12mm Austrian crystal crystal pearl stopper, and attach your chain as shown in the video. Enjoy your necklace!
