Tutorial Collection Cluster Beaded Beads Cube, Octahedral, Star, and Sea Star

Learn to weave beads into beaded beads with this collection of three complete patterns including the Octahedral Cluster, Cube Cluster, and the Sea Star, plus extra bonus material. These patterns describe several different beaded beads and include lots of photos of finished pieces and jewelry.

Sharing technique and symmetry, the Cube Cluster, Octahedral Cluster, and Sea Star coordinate fabulously. This trio of patterns is a whopping 53 pages with over 200 color illustrations and photos. It's long because it start with beginners lessons, and many variations and jewelry ideas are included to inspire you.

The Octahedral Cluster looks like a cube with its corners and edges smoothed out. It has six four-pointed stars, each with a hole large enough to accommodate a chain or a thin chord. Since the bead is hollow, the Octahedral Cluster can also be strung on a wire through any of the eight three-fold faces. Five Octahedral Clusters make a stunning choker, but one Octahedral Cluster bead can be just as spectacular as a focal.

Measuring one full inch in diameter, the Cube Cluster is a remarkably round, hollow, and stiff beaded bead. Eight three-pointed stars cover the surface, and it has six holes measuring 3 mm, large enough to accommodate a cord or thin chain. This pattern starts with a beginner’s lesson on the basic beaded cube with 12 beads including step-by-step instructions for how to make one. Then a lace overlay of tiny seed beads and fire polished crystals covers the surface.
