Center Stone: 18/25 Carmelian Cabochon
Inner Layer: Small Pearls
Thread: Black Nylon Thread, available at craft stores
I used the same pattern from Cabochon #1, except I only sewed one layer of beads onto the felt. It was simpler to make, and looks like a genuine antique pendant!
I actually had to sew the pearls on twice, because the first time, I pulled some of the string too snug and added too many beads. It looked awkward, so I ripped the string out and sewed it again. It ended up looking nice after I re-did it. It just goes to show you, everyone makes mistakes, and it's very worth it to rip it apart and start again!
Here's to creativity,
