Crystal Unicorn Ladder Bead Necklace

Tammy Powley
I had a request to create a necklace using the ladder stitch. I thought about it for awhile and decided to design a choker style necklace. This design combines the ladder stitch and brick stitch along with a little wire and chain. I also added a unicorn crystal charm to accent it. You can add a metal charm or a lampwork bead would also look nice.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

120 - 1/4 inch Burgundy-colored bugle beads
5 inches of Chain
About 4 inches 22-gauge Red-colored wire
1 Head pin
2 - 8mm Pink crystal beads
1 Crystal unicorn charm
About 10 grams of light pink size 11 seed beads
About 10 grams of burgundy-colored size 11 seed beads
Size 10 needle
Pink Silamide thread
Scissors
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
