Tropical Seed Bead Lei
by Sandra D. Halpenny

Stitch lush clusters of seed bead blooms. Outrageously gorgeous in orange and red, very pretty in pastels, & wonderfully crisp & cool in shades of white & cream.

Miyuki 11 Delica beads:

A = #274, bead count 104* (plus 51 for one end, loop)
B = #777, bead count 30* (plus 12 for flower toggle)
C = #651, bead count 114* (plus 35 for flower toggle)
D = #791, bead count 135* (plus 45 for flower toggle)
*Bead Counts are per flower unit, each unit is approximately 1-1/4".
Select necklace length desired, divide by 1.25" and multiply resulting number by bead counts to determine total beads needed.
