Full of Stars Pendant

Stitch a sky full of stars! The Full of Stars pendant features delicate beaded stars in a large, ornament-sized structure. You’ll use double prismatic right-angle weave (DPRAW) to bezel sparkly flat-back crystals into the center of each star, and embellish them with pointy Tri beads. Connect the stars together with several units of cubic right-angle weave (CRAW), and finish the design with a simple but functional bail. This pendant is fully reversible and offers many opportunities for experimenting with a rainbow of bead colors. Wear it as a statement pendant, or hang it as an ornament!

Knowledge of CRAW is required to stitch this design; you should know how to stitch a basic CRAW unit and how to stitch a basic CRAW join, as these techniques are not covered in detail in these instructions. Check out Heather Collin's YouTube channel for a thorough refresher on these techniques. Beaders who have stitched the Snowflake Pendant, the Peace and Double Hearts, or the Starcatcher Pendant are in great shape to stitch this design.
