Blingy crystals and pearls make this Fairytale Cluster Necklace an exciting addition to your outfit. It’s a great way to use up some of your stash. Learn how simple it is to create this whimsical piece in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
1.With a size 10 needle pick up 10 seed beads and tie them into a loop around the hammered ring. Pick up another seed bead and then about half an inch of crystals and pearls at random. Sew back up through the beads, minus the seed bead. Create 2 more dangles from the same loop.
2.Watch the Fairytale Cluster Necklace to follow along with Allie’s step-by-step directions.
3.Once you’re finished stringing and you have the length needed, add wire guards onto the ends. Loop around the beads and tie a knot and burn off the edge. Add jump rings to the wire guards and put on a lobster clasp.
There’s no limit to the design possibilities with this Fairytale Cluster Necklace. It’s a fun project and would make an excellent gift.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
