Surprisingly, the interconnected 3-dimensional petal pendant is created in 2-dimensional circular peyote and then framed with 4mm bicone crystals. The netted straps with peek-a-boo windows reveal a core of 4mm bicone crystals. Make a simply elegant and innovative new toggle clasp.

Shopping List:
Seed Beads
A colour: main colour of the pendant and strap.
15 g 15/0 Seed Bead - you may need more or less depending on your strap length
6 beads 11/0 Seed Bead - round profile
3 g Size 11 Delica
B colour crystal colour and accent seed beads.
4 grams 15/0 Seed Bead - colour B
3 grams 11/0 Seed Bead - colour B (round profile)
Swarovski Crystals:
2 - 8mm rondelles. These are the toggle ends. I prefer the Swarovski 5040 Briolette rondelles because the holes are not sharp and have a slight indentation that sets the 15/0 turnaround bead in a bit. It keeps it from getting snagged on things.
5 - 6mm bicones - colour B
220 - 4mm bicones - colour B
