A picot edge makes for a perfect embellishment to beaded focals. This type of beaded edge uses three beads in each flourish to create a unique fringe for your designs. This simple technique will add flair to your finished piece, catching the eye and drawing it toward that perfect cabochon or bead.
We started off by creating a beaded edge for our project using the brick stitch technique. See our Brick Stitch Technique Handy Tip for more information on how to do this. The Picot edge will be added to the brick stitch edge.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
Use seed beads in groups of threes to create a scalloped edge around your design.
