Construction Notes

Base Beading Weave: RAW (right angle weave): working from center with 2 needles. Depending on the size of the beads used for the base (here I think it was about 5x3R), you first create the base. Then join to form a tube (that will just nicely fit over the Pandora chain). Next sew in the crystal petite flowers. Now it will look like a roundish ball-bead with a center hole. Neaten/reinforce one edge of the hole, using very small seed beads to interspace the edge wooden beads as you sew in the round. This is be the bottom of the ball-bead.

(opt) you would have screwed in a Pandora-style space up to the center of the ear chain. Fix with a dollop of glue to affix permanently . (I used Helmar 450).

When you push up the beaded ball bead, it should not be able to go all the way up if the bottom hole is securely reinforce and tightened so that the hole is smaller the the chain's end. Which is how I wanted it. Before I tightened up the top edge of the ball-bead's hole, I smeared some glue onto the end "knob" of the ear chain - this is for extra security to ensure the ball will not fall off. Then I tightened the top edge of the ball-bead very tightly for good measure.

Standard beading thread has been used. (ILoveU #2 nylon).
