Using ribbon and embellishing it with beads is a popular method for making an amulet necklace. Many ribbon designs include flower motifs, so it nice to be able to create floral accents using beads to adorn a ribbon amulet. For example, for the strap on the Ribbon Amulet project, I luckily found some flower shaped beads to use. However, for the amulet pictured, which uses the same technique as the Ribbon Amulet project, just with a different approach to where the beads went, I wanted to try something different with the strap and found a way to use Miyuki fringe beads to create the look of little flowers scattered down the strap.

You’ll need all the supplies used in the Ribbon Amulet project plus three Miyuki fringe beads for each flower you want to add to your strap.
