MAGNIFICENT MILLEFIORI

Size 11 seed bead
1 String 8mm Flat Square Millefiori beads
2 End Cones
Tiger Tail
Crimps
2 Eye Pins

Attach a length of tiger tail onto your eye pin using 2 crimps. This is done by threading the 2 crimps onto the end of your tiger tail, taking your wire through the eye of your pin, and back down the crimps before flattening them against your wire.

MAKE A PILE OF SEED BEADS ON YOUR MAT. YOU WILL FIND THAT BY GENTLY DIGGING YOUR WIRE INTO THE PILE OF BEADS THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUSH THEMSELVES UP THE WIRE.

Row 1

String 6 inches of seed beads then string 1 square bead. String 10 seed beads then string another square bead. Repear this sequence until you have 9 square beads, then string another 6 inches of seed beads before adding 2 crimp beads and attaching them to another eye pin.

Row 2

Attach new length of tiger tail onto one of the eye pins as before. String enough seed beads onto your wire to meet the length of first string, and enough to reach the point where the 2nd bead in first row starts. (Just over an inch)

String your first square and again repeat sequence with 10 beads inbetween until you have 9 square beads strung. Match the length of seed beads already strung before again attaching to opposite eye pin.

Row 3

Attach a new length of tiger tail to eye pin and this time string enough beads to reach 2nd bead in 2nd row (again just over an inch more) string your first square, then repeat the 9 bead sequence. Again match the length of seed beads already strung and add to opposite eye pin.

Row 4

Attach our last length of tiger tail as before. String the same length as 3rd row plus your extra inch before placing your 9 bead sequence. Finish as before by matching length of seed beads and attaching to an eye pin.

Take your eye pin through an end cap, cut your wire to about 1cm and turn to make a loop. Before you fully close insert your clasp. Repeat on the other side, this time adding a solid ring before fully closing your loop.
