I just love the beautiful, dainty "Diamond Decadence" necklace designed by Regina Atkins in this Bead & Button issue. However, I didn't have all the needed materials and the correct size cup-chain. |
I had to modify the pattern by adding in size 11 seed beads with size 15 seed beads for each right-angle weave unit to fit each cup in the chain. |
I also did two-needle right-angle weave which I think is quicker to do. |
The front of the bracelet was done.... |
...now the back of the bracelet. |
I made a bracelet instead. I always wanted a diamond tennis bracelet but couldn't afford one! |
...and why settle for one bracelet when you can now afford two? Therefore, I made another one with smaller size cup-chain. |
Just four 3mm bugles, for each right-angle weave unit, perfectly fit each small cup. |
Since the cup-chain is smaller, I decided to add another row. |
A loop of seed beads was made to attach the clasp. |
A picot of size 15 seed beads or small drop bead can fill the gaps. I opted for size 11 seed beads. |
