This video tutorial from The Potomac Bead Company teaches you how to make Allie's easy "woven gemstone necklace" design. Patterns like this are great for both beginners and advanced, and use bead weaving with your favorite gemstones!
Start with threading your needle and organizing your gemstones and beads.
Begin the necklace by adding a stop bead to your thread, followed by the pattern of crystal-11-crystal before adding a gemstone.
For the sides of each gemstone, use a pattern of two 11/0 seed beads, a pearl, an 11/0, another pearl, and two more 11/0 seed beads.
Continue adding gemstones and repeating the side pattern, varying the design as desired with different beads or arrangements.
Once you reach the desired length, tie off the ends, reinforcing the thread through the entire necklace for added strength.
Apply a dab of glue to secure the knots and trim any excess thread.
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.
I must say they take great photos of their beads - vivid colors, clear definition, nice presentation. It makes a difference in deciding.
