The assembly:

Find the video tutorial at the bottom of the page!

To start, choose your beads, don't hesitate to play with different shades. You can opt for a harmony of similar colors or play with contrasts. For the shapes, have fun; here we took 6x8mm beads for the top of the cascade and then completed with smaller beads for the bottom. This adds lightness to the assembly.

For the quantity of beads, we made sure that you only need to buy one strand of each shape to make this model.

Assembly of the beads (for an earring):

To start, thread 7 8x6mm faceted olive beads onto eye pins. Be careful to form a loop wide enough to be easily connected to the disk pendant. Your assembly should remain flexible!

Here we have created 7 cascading bead chains, but you can perfectly adapt the number to your liking.

Now, thread 7 6mm faceted beads onto eye pins. Here, form loops of similar size and quite discreet.

Continue in the same way with the 5mm faceted olive beads.

Now mount the beads located at the ends on flat head pins.

For a beautiful gradient effect, we played with the number of beads. This gives a nice pointed drop.

To do this, mount the 2 outer pins in the order of a 2mm bead, a donut bead, and a 2mm bead. Then form the loops.

For the 2nd pins, towards the center, place a 2mm bead, 2 donut beads, and a 2mm bead. Then form the loops.

For the 3rd pins, towards the center, place a 2mm bead, 3 donut beads, and a 2mm bead.Then form the loops.

For the central pin, place a 2mm bead, 4 donut beads, and a 2mm bead. Then form the loop.

Mount the beads in a cascade...

Then, connect all the pins together to create the cascade.

Open the loops and then connect the pins together.
