This 39-page advanced pattern for my Peacock Pearl Box shows you how to use geometric beading to create a striking hinged box with a sparkling crystal centrepiece and pearl ornamentation.
The pattern fully details how to bezel & adorn the large crystal (which is also beautiful as a pendant) and create the box which stands on its own beaded feet.
This is an advanced pattern and you need to know Peyote Stitch.
Included within the instructions is the full information on many different aspects of the boxes including:
- how to bezel the large crystal and add the extra pearl decoration
- adding integral beaded feet to a box (these can then be added to other Peyote Stitch boxes)
- how to bead small pearls into beadwork
- how to stiffen box corners
The finished box is approximately 1 ¼ inches/ 3 ½ cm high and 2 inches/ 5cm along each side.
