This is part 1 of a three part project. Part 2 shows how to attach the beaded star around the bottle. After finishing part 2, move onto Part 3, how to attach a beaded strap. You'll need the following materials:
2 color of size 11 seed beads (less than 5 grams each)
Choice of accent beads
*Nymo or Silamide thread
Size 10 or 12 needle
Scissors
A glass bottle with 2 flat sides 40mm high and 25mm wide (Fire Mountain carries the bottle used here.)
*If you use Nymo, you'll also need bees wax or Thread Heaven. Pull the thread through either of these a few times to condition the thread. Silamide comes pre-waxed.
Note on the beads: For the necklace pictured, I used mauve beads (as my primary color) and burgundy beads (as my secondary color). Both are size 11 Japanese, but Czech could also be used since you don’t have to go through the beads too many times. For the accent beads to go in the strap and fringe, I used rose quartz 6mm and square shaped beads along with some vintage pink German crystal beads and some pink Czech size 6 beads. I also used Silamide in dusty rose.
