As always, with the release of new beads by Puca comes a new pattern!
Today, we're pleased to present the latest addition, Athos cabochons by Puca.
These are long, flat beads on one side only, which can resemble a cabochon.
Puca has put together a lovely tutorial to help you learn how to set Athos cabochons. After this first step, you'll be able to join them together. You gave a warm welcome to the Alix pompon DIY, made with Samos beads. Now we're showing you how to make another version with Athos cabochons by Puca.
Of course, you can adapt this tutorial to your own tastes by changing the colors of the beads used. You can also adapt the support by easily transforming this pompom into a pendant by mounting it on the chain of your choice.
At the bottom of the page you'll find all the materials you'll need to make this pompom and mount it as a piece of bag jewelry. Adapt the supplies list to include a clasp and hanger, should you wish to transform this piece of jewelry into a pendant.

Turn over your work, place your Athos and make two rows of DB11s.

Make a first row of R15

Make a second one

Be careful to place your R15 (inserted in step 3) at the tip of the Athos

Make a 3rd row of R15, but for the spikes go to the 2 R15 without adding any extra R15.

Repeat this step on the other side.

Make a fourth row of R15, always taking care to apply step 10 for the spikes.

Make a 5th row, this time inserting 1 R15 at each point.
