Tchin-Tchin Pot
Here is another idea to embellish a simple wooden pot measuring 62x30mm. First, pairs of Arcos beads are combined to form circles which are linked with Kalos beads. Next Samos beads are attached and the space then infilled with Piros beads and more kalos beads. Finally Kheops par Pucas are added to the other side.

Use just one colour in the Arcos beads and toning Kalos beads for an elegant effect.
Try them with two distinct colours for a bolder effect.
Little Box for You
This little box for a small treasure features the Arcos and Samos par Pucas. The milky Arcos work beautifully with the new cracked Samos colours. The Sam base is available in Les Perles par Puca section of our website.
This intricate little box requires some extra components. You will need the Sam wooden base which measures 21 x 30mm. You will also need a 30mm metal circle.
The full step-by-step details are available on our website but here are the key stages in constructing this intricate little box.
Paint your base or support if you wish. Then string and glue a circle of the Samos par Pucas into position.
The lid is then made by attaching a circle of the Arcos par Pucas to the inside of the metal ring and then building a dome using the Samos and Kalos beads. This is topped with an 8mm round pearl. If you wish you can edge the metal circle with delicas for a lovely finish.
The base is created by threading layers of Arcos, Samos and then Kalos beads and then using seed beads to cover the tapering base. Finally glue on a 25mm Cabochon par Puca to make a steady base.
These Cracked and Milky Samos par Pucas come in a range of pretty, delicate colours which are perfect for Summer jewellery. Plus we have new free projects for earrings, a pendant and a beaded bead by Annick Puca, the designer of Les Perles par Puca range.

Anny Beaded Bead
You can see how well the cracked and milky colours go together in this new design which pairs toning colours.
You will need two 30mm metal circles. First a ring of 12 milky Samos par Pucas are attached to one of the circle, followed by 3mm pearls. Next a ring of 6 cracked Samos par Pucas is attached to start to form the dome shape which is topped with more 3mm pearls. You will need to make two of these which can then be joined to create the beaded bead. If you wish, you can add a drop or some pretty lucite flowers to the bottom.
The Anny beaded bead makes a lovely bag charm. Here it’s shown with two charms made with the design for the Ancolia Earrings, one with milky Samos and the other cracked Samos.

We have some great design ideas for the new 8mm Cabochons par Puca including using them with filigree shapes and in settings. These little 8mm cabochons are very easy to use in this way and more versatile than you might expect if they are new to you.
Pretty jewellery can easily be created but just gluing a cabochon onto a filigree flower connector. Use a glue that bonds the flat cabochon base firmly to the metal connector, such as E6000.
Celsian Bracelet
Choose delicate little round filigree flowers with a maximum diameter of about 15mm. Glue the cabochons in the centre of the filigree flowers and leave the glue to harden. Then you can simply link the filigree circles together with small jump rings and finish with a clasp.
Dona Bracelet
Another pretty design idea for the new 8mm cabochons par Puca. The delicate filigree shape and patterna forms a pleasing contrast with the domed cabochons.
April Earrings
You can take this idea a step further by using Lacy’s Stiff Stuff.
The filigree shape here complements the rounded cabochons perfectly. The cabochons are glued to the Stiff Stuff which is then edged with small seed beads. Once embroidered, the Stiff Stuff is cut to shape and can be glued to the filigree shape.
This technique can be developed by creating more elaborate patterns with the cabochons and adding more elaborate embroidery.
The cabochons are also very easy to use in cabochon settings.
The necklace below is made by gluing the cabochons into the connector settings which have 2 loops. These are then linked together with jump rings to form the basic necklace. Cabochons are also glued into the pendant settings which have one loop. You can then just attach these to the jump rings between the connectors on the basic necklace. You can also combine them with cabochons in connectors to create a focal point as in the design below.
This technique can be used to create beautiful earring designs.
