Celebrate International Beading Week 2026 with this dazzling sun-inspired pendant! In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to create Sun Kissed Sparkle, a beautiful beaded pendant featuring an 18mm Rivoli, Miyuki Delica seed beads, and bugle beads that create radiant sun rays around the center crystal.
This pattern was created exclusively for International Beading Week 2026, where this year's theme is "Emblems." The sun has long been a universal symbol of life, power, warmth, vitality, and enlightenment, making it the perfect inspiration for this special project. It is truly an honor to serve as a 2026 Guest Ambassador for International Beading Week, and I'm excited to share this design with you.
Whether you make it as a pendant, ornament, bag charm, rearview mirror decoration, or a special handmade gift, I hope this project brings a little sunshine to your beadwork!

• 18mm Rivoli Crystal
• Miyuki Delica 11/0 Seed Beads (2 colors)
• #2 6mm Bugle Beads
• Beading Thread (One-G, KO, or similar)
