Your creation is finished. You can use it to make a pin, a pendant or even a bracelet. In this case, glue your creation to a strip of ultrasuede or imitation leather.
Glue the oval PureCrystal to a piece of Stiff Stuff (or fine felt) and make a small cross-shaped incision. Wait for the glue to dry. Trim the excess fabric around the crystal.
Attach the 3 pieces of soutache (approx. 20 cm) and sew the central part for approx. 3 cm.
Add small dots of glue to the central part you've just sewn.
Surround the crystal with the soutache; the glue will help secure the work. Wait 2 minutes for it to adhere.
Sew the 3 soutaches diagonally.
Stitch the central part.
Sew the 6 mm bead to one side of the crystal, crossing the 3 soutaches.
Pass the soutache pieces behind the cabochon and sew them diagonally.
Use the same procedure to glue the drop-shaped crystals.
Attach the 3 crystals at the ends (approx. 2 cm).
Sew diagonally to attach the 3 crystals to the element made first.
Start sewing the 3mm beads with 2 pieces of soutache (approx. 20 cm).
Continue sewing the beads along the curve of the soutache.
Turn the soutaches back to create an empty loop.
Also complete the other end by turning the soutaches inside out to insert a 4 mm bead. Create a bow with the braided lace and attach it to the back of the bow with a diagonal seam.
Create a second bow with the braided lace and attach it to the back of the creation.
Glue 2 rows of rhinestone chain between the PureCrystal drops to fill the gap and secure with invisible stitches.
Fold a soutache (approx. 15 cm) and sew 3 mm beads inside. Create a curved shape as you sew.
Insert a total of 9 beads and finish the job.
Now create the same element with 7 beads. Sew the 2 elements behind the main creation with diagonal stitches.
