Create your own nature inspired statement necklace, featuring luxurious strands of leaf fringe in your favorite colors. This project combines three simple techniques and a whole lot of seed beads to create one unforgettable lariat. The instructions include fringe variations, and methods for adding new thread to the beadwork.

Materials used: Size 11 seed beads, Fireline thread

You will learn: Twisted tubular herringbone weave, leaf fringe, freeform branch fringe basics.

Skill level: Beginner-Intermediate

These techniques are suitable for beginners with a basic knowledge of bead weaving, however the project uses nearly 200 grams of beads and thread, and requires several hours of work. This is not a suitable practice piece for first time herringbone weave, but you can adapt the techniques for beginner level projects and go from there!

This tutorial includes full step-by-step instructions in easy to read text, with clear photographs to guide you through the techniques. Each of my tutorials comes with full ‘tech support’. If you have any trouble completing a project, I will do my very best to help you.

This is a Personal Use tutorial, which is meant only to try out new beading techniques. You may make variations of the project for yourself or as gifts, but the purchase of this tutorial does not grant rights to sell copies of the design.
