This tutorial teaches you how to create this 3 dimensional pyramid. For thousands of years, the largest structures on Earth were pyramids: first the Red Pyramid in the Dashur Necropolis and then the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still remaining and still the tallest pyramid of all. The largest pyramid ever built, by volume, is the Great Pyramid of Cholula, in the Mexican state of Puebla.
Use 3 contrasting colours for a vibrant piece or make it completely out of silver for a stylish design. Vary the size of the beads too for different effects. The pyramid measures 1 ¼” from the bail to the bottom edge, each side is 1” and the pyramid is 2 /3” tall.
This is an advanced tutorial with 47 steps over 22 pages and lots of detailed close up colour photos.

Note to EU customers - The European Union implemented new rules on value-added tax (VAT) for digital items earlier this year. The rules, which took effect on January 1, 2015, state that VAT on digital items delivered via automatic download will be taxed based on the country where the buyer is located, not where the seller is located. The rules apply to any shop selling digital items that can be automatically downloaded at the time of purchase to buyers in the EU, no matter where the shop is located. To be clear, EU buyers – not Etsy or Etsy sellers – will be paying VAT as part of their total purchase price.
