Inspired by Victorian lace, Lisa created graceful

peyote loops to adorn a herringbone necklace.

Crystal quartz briolette beads cluster like frozen

droplets. A hidden wire armature provides support

for this romantic and regal creation.

Close any open loops in the connectors before stitching.

Roll excess working thread onto a No-Tangle bobbin toprevent tangling and unroll as needed.

Try using other accents within

the ropes. Small pearls, metal

beads, and glass drops all

work welljust look for items

sized between 2mm and

3mm.

Use this cap design for your

other projects! You may add

or omit one unit of right-

angle weave to customize a

cap to fit the diameter of anybeaded rope. By using

matching beads you can

create a more integrated

design and save money on

expensive findings.
