How To Bead A Diamond Motif

Weaving beads into shapes can open up the possibilities for your bead designs. This bead pattern will show you how to weave a diamond motif out of crystal bicones and rounds. You can use this motif as a focal point for a necklace or bracelet... as a dangle for earrings... or repeat the design for a diamond motif choker.

Supplies
24" (60cm) Nylon beading thread Beading needle 4 - 4mm crystal rounds 4 - 4mm crystal bicones 1 - 6mm glass pearl 12 - 3mm silver beads

Refer to the diagrams below to string the beads with the nylon thread.

Knot the 2 ends of the thread together to secure the diamond shape. Then either cut the thread and use the piece as a dangle or focal piece.

Happy Beading!
