Beading Kits - Ndebele

Sparkling Summer Sun

This circle of double ribbed Ndebele rays makes a dazzling sunflower focal point that may be worn on either a necklace (as shown) or removed and worn on a bracelet. You will learn how to make a double Ndebele ruffle and to capture a dichroic cabochon using only beads. The kit includes all of the materials to make the necklace as shown. Instructions for making a matching bracelet are included in the instruction packet.

Additional Supplies Required: Small sharp scissors, bee’s wax, clear nail polish.

Fantasy Flower (Pattern Only)

This circle of double ribbed Ndebele rays makes a dazzling focal point for a beautiful watch face. It may be worn on the necklace (as shown) or slid onto a bracelet of your choosing. You will learn how to make a double Ndebele ruffle and to capture the watch face using only beads. The Tight Twist Ndebele necklace portion is the perfect necklace to go with your new watch. This project is a bit advanced so peyote stitch and Ndebele stitch experience will be helpful.

Ndebele Bracelet (with sui flower)

The Ndebele bracelet is both a very easy first project and a wonderful addition to your jewelry collection. Because it’s so quick to make, it’s a great gift idea. You will learn flat Ndebele and a lovely silk ribbon flower accent. The clasp is a sterling silver clasp that is the perfect accent to this piece.

Additional Supplies Required: Small sharp scissors, bee’s wax, clear nail polish.

Twisted Ndebele Pendant Necklace

Ndebele cords are very tightly twisted and may be used as stand-alone necklaces or as a purse strap or even as a lariat. Extremely strong and stable, I have presented it here as a necklace cord designed to show an especially attractive cabochon to its best advantage. The twisted fringe is a charming accent.

Additional Supplies Required: Small sharp scissors, bee’s wax, clear nail polish.

Wild Roses and Ndebele Necklace

This thick, gently twisting Ndebele cord is a piece that, because of all its nooks and crannies, provides places for many beautiful flowers and leaves to be attached. Included in the Wild Roses kit are several leaf patterns, two flower patterns and all the materials needed to make the Wild Roses necklace.

Additional Supplies Required: Small sharp scissors, bee’s wax, clear nail polish.
