Product Description
Celebrate the beauty and symbolism of the sun with Sun Kissed Sparkle, an elegant beading pattern created exclusively for International Beading Week 2026! Inspired by the 2026 theme, "Emblems," this stunning design features a brilliant 18mm Rivoli surrounded by radiant beaded rays, creating a dazzling sun motif that sparkles from every angle.
Whether you display it as a pendant, holiday ornament, window decoration, rearview mirror charm, or sun catcher, this versatile project is sure to become a favorite. The finished piece combines peyote stitch, bezel work, and dimensional embellishments to create a design that is both striking and rewarding to stitch.
As a proud 2026 International Beading Week Guest Ambassador, I am honored to share this exclusive pattern with beaders around the world. The sun has long been recognized as a universal emblem of life, power, warmth, and enlightenment, making this project a meaningful keepsake as well as a beautiful piece of beadwork.
