Fire Flower Pendant Tutorial

Create the Central Base Ring: Add alternating: 1 × SuperDuo → 1 × 11/0 seed bead. Repeat this pattern until you have 12 SuperDuos and 12 seed beads in total. Form into a ring and reinforce. Step Up to the Second Hole: Go through the second hole of a SuperDuo to begin building upward. Add Quadralentils: Between each SuperDuo, add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × Quadralentil → 1 × 11/0. Stitch all the way around. Switch to Second Holes of Quadralentils: Move through the side holes of the Quadralentils. Between each, add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × crystal (3mm or 2mm) → 1 × 15/0. Embellish Around Crystals: Add 11/0 seed beads around each crystal to create an outer embellishment circle. Build a Second Ring of Embellishment: Exit the outer 11/0s and add more 11/0s between key points (top of crystals or Quadralentils). This reinforces the structure and adds more visual texture. Add Fire-Polished Beads: Between each Quadralentil, add: 1 × fire-polished bead (3mm). This forms a sparkling border around the pendant. Embellish Between Fire-Polished Beads: Between each fire-polished bead, add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 15/0. This softens and decorates the edge. Create the Beaded Bail Loop: Choose a top center Quadralentil or crystal. Add: 3–5 × 11/0s → 1 crystal → 3–5 × 11/0s (adjust loop size as desired). Stitch back into the base and reinforce 2–3 times. Secure & Finish: Weave through multiple beads to reinforce the structure. Tie half-hitch knots between beads to secure. Trim or burn thread ends.
