This easy-to-make necklace combines beadweaving (peyote stitched beaded beads) and stringing techniques for stunning results. Mix it up a little by making several necklaces in complementary pearl and seed bead colors and wear them layered for an even more sumptuous look.

Like an English rose garden, this bracelet blooms with color and texture. The primary technique used—branch fringe—is simple; the creativity lies in layering and mixing a riot of glass, polymer, and plastic flowers and leaves.

Combining seed beads, crystal marguerites, fine chain, and a cubic zirconia drop and earring finding, this earring design is simply stunning. Its base is made with right-angle weave; the flower with layered picots.

Use right angle weave (RAW), to create these geometric, seed bead earrings. Instructions for the matching necklace may be found in the May/June 2007 issue of Step by Step Beads.

With a deeply colored stone as its centerpiece, this necklace suggests the riches of a mysterious woman. A peyote-stitched bezel - worked with seed beads that decrease in size to hold the stone in place - is held aloft with lacy layers of netting.

What could be more handy than a starry magic wand to whisk away a bad day? Even though these seed bead peyote stitch stars can’t guarantee results, they are certain to bring a smile.
