Beaded Cross: Beady Blessing

Look at these two crosses: the first one serves as the central piece of necklace, the second is put on the brocade strip.
The technique used is right-angle weave, I like playing with it. If you are new to it check good beading book on subject. You need to know how to make single chain, turn weaving and add more rows.
These drawings show the direction of weaving, general scheme and some steps that will - I hope - make it more clear. Notice I use 2 needles:

And now comes the main secret! The cross consists of the two cross-shaped surfaces. This gives the 3rd dimension to your work.
No problems, make two parts and stitch them together with the help of additional row.
