"8/0 Beaded Pip Cluster Necklace Kit"- Holiday

Description:The Kumihimo Pip Cluster Bead Necklace is a mixture of techniques from some of my old time favorites. The pattern combines braiding with beads and the Cluster Bead Necklace (©2011). The Preciosa Pip Beads make great little clusters as they are not too big and not too small. The adjustable length necklace is made with 8/0 seed beads and 5 "clusters" for Pip Beads. The beaded portion measures right around 16" with 6" of braided tails on either end. The necklace slips over your head and you can adjust the length of the necklace depending on the length you want to wear the necklace. I love the flexibility as it allows me to wear the necklace with different necklines. If you make necklaces to sell, this is nice for your customers.
