Put a whimsical touch of sparkle in your designs with our Fairy Lantern idea. These are perfect for using in earrings, necklaces or anywhere you please Customize this technique with bugle beads and bicones of your choosing to create colorful links and dangles.
Use your chosen bugle beads to create a ladder stitch. You can use any kind of bugle beads you choose. We used both twisted and smooth bugle beads. Take note that when using twisted bugle beads, you will need fewer beads to wrap around your 8mm bicone. We used 12 TOHO 9mm twisted bugle beads in silver-lined crystal and 16 TOHO 9mm bugle beads in bronze.
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!
