The bold beauty of this Full Moon Pendant is on display for all to see when you wear this luxurious statement piece out. Use this PotomacBeads tutorial to learn how to use a netting technique to add a Lunasoft cabochon to the center of this celestial pendant.
1.Start with 14 2-hole bricks separated by 11/0s. Tie them into a knot. Sew around the beads two more times to strengthen it. Step up to the outer hole of the bricks. Add a QuadraLentils in between the bricks and the next QuadraLentils with a seed bead on either side, between the bricks. Go around the circle adding a pattern of QuadraLentils with and without the seed beads.
2.Watch the Full Moon Pendant tutorial to follow along with Marissa as she guides you through the process of creating the pendant.
3.Add a bail by using a ladder stitch to make seven pairs of seed beads. Connect the top to the bottom to form a loop. Tie a knot using a bridge thread.
Stick with these simple steps and you will be able to create this elegant Full Moon pendant. Check out the large selection of quality beads and findings at PotomacBeads for all of your beading needs.
