I used purple pearls, metal flowers, dark blue seed beads, and light blue crystals to make this piece. It has a lobster clasp set with crimp beads. I used wire, but beading thread can work too.
String the beads in a pattern of two seed beads, then a purple pearl, then a blue crystal, then a purple pearl again. Then start all over again until you come to the middle of your piece. Then put a metal flower on and continue until finished.
