Hollow Crystal Easter Egg Beading Pattern

Learn how to make these impressive beaded eggs that will and glorious color, sparkle, and elegance to your table this Easter. Inspired by the famous Faberge eggs, these dazzling and delightful beaded eggs are made with four colors of either 6 mm crystal bicones or 6mm fire-polished beads and one color of size 8/0 TOHO seed beads. Firm and sturdy, these unique and impressive eggs are stitched up hollow without needing any form in the center. They can be displayed standing up on their own and/or lying on their sides. Just slightly larger than life, they are a perfect size.

While our instructions are suitable for beginners, we recommend you have some experience with bead stitching for this project. Those who don’t have much experience working with crystals will find the fire-polished eggs faster and easier to stitch up (and equally lovely). This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 150 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
