These spectacular Balloon Pearl Boxes glow with that pearly iris finish. The larger Balloon Pearl Box is a five-fold variation; do you see the five pointed star in the middle? Cindy strung the focal bead through two points of the star, so that the bead hangs slightly below the center of the strand.

Find Cindy's pattern for the Balloon Box Beaded Bead on our Kits page.
