Slice of Heaven Tutorial

The Slice of Heaven Necklace or Bracelet tutorial demonstrates how to create beautiful segmented bead “slices” using crescent-shaped two-hole beads. These curved beads are stitched together in groups to form rounded components that resemble tiny citrus slices, giving the finished jewelry a playful yet elegant look. The project focuses on building bead clusters, connecting them with spacer beads, and finishing the design on leather for a modern necklace or bracelet style. By the end of the lesson, beaders gain confidence in working with two-hole beads, maintaining thread tension, and finishing a project with clean, durable ends.
