Making beaded bauble covers

This is my own design for a beaded Christmas bauble cover

I started with a row of bugle beads stitched round and round so they sat together side by side

this part is decreasing brick stitch with size 11 seed beads

now a few rows of square stitch

next I repeated the brick stitch triangle on the other side of the bugle beads

I've added a dangle, using a mix of seed beads and bugles and a shiny red glass drop bead

and another shorter dangle

I decided 5 dangles would be right for my bauble so I made 4 more.

I made a two row seed bead circle that fitted around the top of my bauble

And attached all the dangling pieces

I sewed more beads around near the top and to finish off I added a row of fancy swags with bead drops
