DNA Necklace

Here's a new twist on an old technique - a DNA Seed Bead Necklace with a pearl accent designed by Catharina Thomas for Fire Mountain Gems and Beads.

What "old technique" you may ask? Why it's the ever popular and oh so versatile Brick Stitch. Catharina's take on this stitch is how she makes it twist. I also love, love, love the built in beaded clasp as well.

Seed beads and any large round bead are all you need to create this necklace and there are plenty of step by step graphics to help you along.

Now go bead something.
