Victoria Pendant Bead weaving Video and PDF Tutorial designed by Catriona Starpins

A gemstone donut has been captured with metallic finish seed beads, two-hole crescents and Czech fire polished beads. The medallion is complemented by the softest of silky tassels which has been adorned with a bead woven Crescent crown. 

This is a reversible design, one side embellished with crescents and fire polished beads and the other side simpler, showcasing the beauty of the gemstone.   Peyote stitch, double right angle weave and bead weaving are used to create this opulent treasure.

Kits are available in four colour ways and sold separately to this tutorial here.
