The holidays are here again. Making the season more fun is one of our favorite things. Check out our 10 minute video tutorial to see how you can make an easy present topper using some Seed Beads and Czech Melons.
Begin with 8/0 Toho Seed Beads, threading them onto beading thread with a needle.
Add a split or soldered ring to the thread and loop back through the beads.
Start beadweaving to create the pine needle effect, beginning with smaller branches and gradually adding larger ones.
Incorporate Czech Melons beads as berries, positioning them near the top of the pine needle design.
Finish the topper by tying off the thread and adding decorative touches as desired.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.

I absolutely love shopping with Potomac Beads for jewelry making supplies and tutorials and kits, etc. It's the first place I go when I'm looking for a specific tool or bead or whatever. I love the jewelry kits, too! My family was so impressed with my first effort that I am encouraged to try different methods now, confident that you will have all the supplies and support I need. Thank you for a superior shopping experience.
