Every time I look at these stick pearls all I can think is “Dragon’s Teeth.” Not sure why, but that’s where my mind goes, so there you have it.
I suppose I could have named it “Spiky Stick Pearl Necklace” but that wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting. Amiright?
In this necklace I show you a technique for using multiple strands of beading wire and having them twist and turn amongst each other. You can use any beads you like to do this, from very simple and elegant, to the crazy and funky direction that I went.
Whatever you create, have fun and enjoy the process. 🙂
Enjoy the video and happy creating.
