Learn how to use fringe beads such as daggers, rizos and drops to create sunburst or floral patterns around a central focal.

There was a bit of an engineering puzzle to solve with this project, but the end results are worth it!

Tools & Materials:

For center beads choose beads with a flat profile, ovals or rounds will work.

Here are a the ones I showed in the video:

• 14 mm Czech glass Hawaiian flower, pink 
• 18x 10mm gold plated & purple glass beads 
• 18 mm pressed glass rounds (no longer available)
• Oval jasper beads (mine were 15x20mm)

For starburst or flower petal beads choose ones such as:

• Rizo beads 
• Mini daggers 
• 2.5x6mm Czech glass mini daggers, Purple, Fuchsia, Pink, Crystal 
• Czech glass daggers 
• 7 x 14 mm Czech glass matte metallic dagger, gold 
• Magatama beads 

Other Tools & Materials:

• Fine gauge craft wire, such as 30 gauge
• Bezel that is slightly larger than your center bead  
• Small ball polymer clay
• Epoxy clay 
• Wire cutters 
• Chain nose pliers 
• Nonstick craft sheet
