Sensational Soutache

Designing your own soutache jewellery and accessories has never been easier with plenty of different cords, cabochons and beads to embellish with. Start by choosing your favourite cabochons to make the focal points on your design. If you're making a small statement brooch, why not try a single sparkly cabochon and enhance it's shape and colours with your choice of soutache cords? You can add even more sparkle to your soutache designs by sewing seed beads or small semi-precious beads in the gaps between the cords.
