NB: Please note that the list of products below does not fully correspond to the presentation photo. For stock reasons, the 8/0 Metallic Hematite seed beads have been replaced by equivalent beads, and the clasp has also been replaced.
a) Start from the bottom, through the hole in the Arcos bead.
b) Sew in the 8/0 seed bead.
c) Go back through the hole in the Arcos pearl.
d) Stitch down through the next hole in the Arcos bead.
e) Take 1 seed bead 11/0 and pass through the next superduo bead. Repeat this movement 3 times.
a) Here is a complete circle. The wire comes out of the 11/0 seed bead.
b) Thread 1 seed bead 11/0 and 1 superduo bead and 1 seed bead 11/0. Form a circle and thread through the 11/0 seed bead and the top hole of the superduo bead.
c) Start at the bottom and pass through the following beads: the first Superduo bead and the 8/0 seed bead and the second Superduo bead.
d) Turn your piece over and pass through the top hole of the Superduo bead and the 11/0 seed bead. The wire should exit the 11/0 seed bead.
Thread 1 seed bead 11/0, 1Superduo bead and 1 seed bead 11/0, forming a circle.
Repeat until the circle is complete.
a) Here's a complete circle (see image below).
The next starting point will be the top hole of the Superduo bead (which was added in the previous step). Consequently, you'll need to go through 2 11/0 seed beads (see photo below).
b) Pass through the lower hole of the Superduo bead (added in step 5)
c) Turn over and pass through the top hole of the superduo bead (added in step 5).
a) Thread 1 seed bead 11/0, 1 minos dark blue and 1 seed bead 11/0 and pass through the next Superduo bead. Repeat this instruction c3 times.
Before closing your circle, place your kitten. Be sure to reinforce this circle several times.
b) You need to create as many elements as you need.
How do you connect your components?
The wire comes out of the middle of the hole in the Arcos bead.
b) Thread 1 Minos dark blue bead through the Arcos bead hole on the second element.
c) Next, pass your needle through the 8/0 seed bead of the second element.
d) Sew backwards towards the first element and pass through the following beads: 1 Arcos bead, 1 Minos dark blue bead and 1 Arcos bead.
e) Pass your wire through the 8/0 seed bead of the first element and turn your piece over. Feel free to reinforce this circle several times.
f) Here's the result once the two elements have been linked.
a) Bind the 3rd element. The wire comes out of the 8/0 seed bead and passes through the hole in the Arcos bead.
b) Thread 1 Minos mat jet bead through the Arcos bead of the 1st element. Repeat all movements in the same way as in step 8. Reinforce this circle several times.
a) In this step, you will link the 4th element.
b) Go to the 8/0 seed bead opposite the next element (see photo), then pass through the hole in the Arcos bead.
Repeat all movements in the same way as in step 8. Here, you need to take 1 Minos dark blue bead.
Be sure to consolidate this circle several times.
c) You should obtain a result similar to the photo below.
Your wire comes out of the 8/0 seed bead, which faces the second element (see photo).
Take 1 Minos mat jet bead and repeat all the instructions in step 8.
d) You should obtain a result similar to the photo below.
If you apply a 4th element, the thread comes out of the Arcos bead.

How do I create a protective mesh for PureCrystal clover?
a) To ensure that the PureCrystal clover stays in place, we'll create a cross-shaped mesh.
First, make sure that the thread exits the 11/0 seed bead next to the clover.
b) Thread 5 seed beads 15/0, 1 seed bead 11/0 and 5 seed beads 15/0. Pass the needle through the 11/0 seed bead on the opposite side.
c) Then pass through the following beads: 1 Arcos, 1 rocaille 11/0, 1 superduo, 1 rocaille 11/0 and 1 Arcos.
d) The wire must come out of the 11/0 seed bead.
e) Next, thread 5 seed beads 11/0 and pass the needle through the middle seed bead 11/0 (as shown in the photo below).
f) Thread 5 15/0 seed beads and sew into the 11/0 seed beads on the opposite side.
g) Turn your piece and pass the needle through the 5 seed beads 15/0, the seed bead 11/0 and the 5 seed beads 15/0.
h) Pass through the 11/0 seed bead and the Arcos bead, secure your work by tying a knot and cut the thread. The cross-shaped safety stitch is now complete.
You can create as many elements as you like until you reach the desired length. (Each element measures approx. 4 to 4.5 cm).
