This seed-bead necklace kit features a unique calcite crystal focal bead. As these are natural stones, the exact appearance of each focal bead will vary slightly. The kit makes extensive use of herringbone stitch, primarily the tubular form, with size 15 seed beads. The pattern introduces the stitch with a small practice tube. The instructions also show how to assemble the leaf dangle, mount the focal bead within the stitched piece, and install the pendant LED strand. The instructions include over 40 photos and diagrams of the stitching and assembly process.
