Mini Flip Flop

Summer is approaching, time for flip flop. This is a very easy project. Just make a rectangle and add 2 little straps on top.

9 x 3mm  fire polished glass beads
30 cm fishing line (8 lb weight) or beading fireline

A Beaded Square Pendant

I used faceted bicone acrylic beads here but I think round beads would work well too. It'll look much more beautiful and sparkly if you use crystal beads (and more expensive too). You can also use one color instead of different colors of beads. And if you use different colors for the 2 square pieces, you'll have 2 looks in 1 pendant! The finished size of this piece measures 2cm x 2cm.

Materials:
60 3mm faceted bicone beads - grey
32 3mm faceted bicone beads - aquamarine
24 3mm faceted bicone beads - green
Size 11 seed beads - grey
Fishing line (4 lb. weight) - 3 x 40 cm
