Free Tutorial : Elloth Earrings
By BeeJang
Level : Beginner - Intermediate

It's been a while I make free tutorial. lol You only need seed beads and some pearls to complete them.

Materials for the dark greens earrings
- 2 grams Miyuki round seed beads 11/0 - 2008
- 2 grams Miyuki round seed beads 11/0 - 3318
- 2 pcs. Pearl round 6mm - white
- 2 pcs. Pearl round 4mm - white
- Earrings hooks

Optional : 2 pcs. Miyuki round seed beads 15/0 - 2008

Materials for the dark blue earrings
- 2 grams Matsuno round seed beads 11/0 - blue iris
- 2 grams Miyuki round seed beads 11/0 - 533
- 2 pcs. Pearl round 6mm - white
- 2 pcs. Pearl round 4mm - white
- Earrings hooks

Abbreviation
- Miyuki 11/0, matte green = 11/0A
- Miyuki 11/0, opaque green = 11/0B

Instruction

1. Cut the comfortable length of thread. Pick up twelve 11/0A. Pass through all beads twice. Exit at the first 11/0A (red arrow).

2. Pick up 11/0B, 11/0A and 11/0B. Pass through the third 11/0A (red arrow).

3. Repeat step 2 all around. Exit at 11/0A (red arrow).

4. Pick up pearl 6mm. Pass through 11/0A at the opposite side (red arrow).

5. Pass back through pearl 6mm, 11/0A (red arrow), 11/0B and 11/0A (blue arrow).

6. Pick up two 11/0A, 11/0B and two 11/0A. Pass through 11/0A at the next arc (red arrow).

7. Repeat step 6 all around. When you finish, you should exit at 11/0A (red arrow). Pass through 11/0B, 11/0A and 11/0B (blue arrow).

8. Pick up three 11/0B. Pass through the previous 11/0B (red arrow). Continue through the next three 11/0A and 11/0B (blue arrow).

9. Repeat step 8 all around. When you finish, you should pass through 11/0B (red arrow). Just continue through 11/0A, 11/0B and two 11/0A (blue arrow).

10. Pick up three 11/0B. Pass through 11/0A (red arrow). Continue along the next three 11/0A, 11/0B and four 11/0A (blue arrow).

11. Repeat step 10 all around. Exit at the single 11/0B (red arrow).

12. Pick up three 11/0A. Pass through the second 11/0B (red arrow).

13. Pick up three 11/0A. Pass through the next single 11/0B (red arrow).

14. Repeat step 12 and 13 all around. Exit at the second 11/0A (red arrow).

15. You can attach the earring hook as you wish or pick up different numbers of beads to make it longer or shorter, all up to you.

This is what I did. Pick up two 11/0A, 11/0B, two 11/0A, 11/0B, pearl 4mm, 11/0B, three 11/0A, earring hook and three 11/0A.

16. Pass back through 11/0B (red arrow), pearl 4mm, 11/0B, two 11/0A and 11/0B (blue arrow).

17. Pick up two 11/0A. Pass through the second 11/0A (red arrow) and the next 11/0A (blue arrow).

18. To make a u-turn and reinforce your beads and earring hook, just follow the red path. Pass through the adjacent 11/0A (blue arrow). Pass through the next four 11/0A and the adjacent 11/0A (green arrow) and exit at the next 11/0A.

Now, you can pass through all beads in step 15 to reinforce your thread path.

19. This is optional but recommended if your hook has an open hole liked the one I used here. You should add 15/0 (red arrow) between the third and the fourth 11/0A, and pass through all 11/0A in this loop twice.

The earring is finished. You can pass through your beads to reinforce any loose spot.

Make another earring the same way.

Done!

Your mod here!

I think I have problem with scrapbooks. Look like most of my old photos won't load or gone missing. It will affect most of my early tutorials since 2012 and earlier, you won't see photos. It will take a while for me to upload new photos to other hosts. I'll try to fix it asap.

Merry Christmas and Happy beading! :D

EDIT : Fix now. Thanks LJ.

[Tutorial] : Skinny Bracelet
2015-04-18 10:30 beejang

Tutorial : Skinny Bracelet
Level : Beginner

m003.JPG

Materials :

The quanity listed here is for 6.5 inches.
- 36 pcs. Swarovski Crystal bicone 4mm. -Mint Alabaster 2X
- 9 pcs. Swarovski Crystal bicone 3mm. - Light Rose 2X (Optional) *
- 36 pcs. Czech Fire Polished round 4mm. - Metallic Purple
- 2g. Miyuki Rocailles 11/0 - Duracoat Champagne #4204
- Jumpring and Clasp
- Nymo D or your favorite thread
- Beading Needle



This is very simple bracelet, a very basic design using right angle weave and this is a good pratice for beginners. I made this using right angle weave and added some embellishment on top. There are also other ways to make this design. You can just weave the base first and come back to make the embellishment on top later. Or you make the same design using two needles crossweave.

* This 3mm crystal is optional. You can just use 11/0 if you don't have 3mm in stock. I have the other example at the end of the tutorial using 11/0s instead of 3mm crystals.

1.

001.JPG

Cut the comfortable length of thread. Pick up eight 11/0s. Pass through the first 11/0 (red arrow) to form a loop. Pas through all beads twice for extra security. This is where you will hang the jumpring and clasp.

2.

002.JPG

Pick up 4mm. crystal, czech FP and 4mm crystal. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow).

Pass through the next crystal and exit at czech FP (blue arrow).

3.

003.JPG

Pick up 11/0, czech FP, 11/0, czech FP, 11/0 czech FP and 11/0. Pass through czech FP (red arrow).

Pass through all beads in this round again with good tension. They will form a nice square. Now, pass through the beads and exit at 11/0 (blue arrow).

4.

004.JPG

Pick up 4mm crystal, 11/0 and 4mm crystal. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow).

5.

005.JPG

Pick up two 11/0s, 3mm crystal and two 11/0s. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow).

6.



Pass through 4mm crystal, 11/0, 4mm crystal and exit at 11/0 (red arrow).

7.

007.JPG

Pick up two 11/0s and pass through 3mm crystal (red arrow).

8.

008.JPG

Pick up two 11/0s and pass through 11/0 (red arrow).

Pass through the next 4mm crystal and exit at 11/0 (blue arrow).

9.



Pick up 4mm crystal, czech FP and 4mm crystal. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow).

Pass through the next 4mm crystal and exit at czech FP (blue arrow).

Now you can repeat from step 3 - 9 until you get the desired length.

10.



Pick up seven 11/0s. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow). Pass through all beads again.

11.



Add jumpring and clasp.

Done!

m001.JPG

m002.JPG

And this is other colorway without 3mm crsytal. The colors are

- 36 pcs. Swarovski Crystal bicone 4mm. - Jet 2X (This is old Jet 2X that looked more blue and green.)

- 2g. Miyuki Rocailles 11/0 - Duracoat Gold #4202
- 1g. Miyuki Rocailles 11/0 - Matte Opaque Turquoise Green #412FR

I use 11/0 #412FR instead of 3mm crsytals. Everything else is the same.

You may try using pearls or other beads too.

Hope you like it, happy beading!

Изготовление станка для ткания с бисером из линейки
2015-03-27 12:47 ext_2852012
Оригинал взят у natalies_perlen в Изготовление станка для ткания с бисером из линейки

Несложный браслетик можно соткать за вечер на станке, сооружённом например из простой школьной линейки, кусочка картона и клипс или зажимов



Этот браслет я ткала на деревяной линейке шириной 3,5 см, длиной 30 см. Отрезала два небольших кусочка картона по ширине линейки, начертила на картоне по краю линии через 2 мм и надрезала по ним картон. В надрезы одной из картонок поместила предварительно нарезанные и протащенные через воск синтетические нитки



В рисунке, который я хотела соткать, было 17 клеточек по ширине, значит я отрезала 18 ниток основы. Длинна этих ниток примерно 45 - 50 см, она зависит от размера вашего браслета. У меня рука небольшая, я соткала браслет 15 см длинной, 2 см на руке занимает обычно ещё узел, так что общая длинна браслета будет 17 см. Лучше сделать браслет чуть короче и завязывать свободней, чем длиннее и он будет сильно болтаться на руке

Нитки с картонкой крепим к одному из концов линейки любыми зажимами, которые у вас есть в доме.



На другой конец линейки укладываем вторую картонку с прорезями, заводим в прорези нитки, идущие от первой картонки, работаем не спеша, аккуратно, следя за тем, чтобы нитки были паралельными. Подтягиваем все нитки и закрепляем их зажимами на другом конце линей тоже.



Получаем конструкцию из натянутых паралельно ниток.
Рабочие нити закрепляем простым узелком на наружных нитях основы, как на картинке из книжки



Можно приступать к тканию браслета традиционным способом. Кто не знаком с основами ткачества с бисером, может почитать в моём журнале пост о ткании гердана



Для закрепления самого первого ряда приподнимаю немного нитки над линейкой при помощи карандаша, последующие ряды уже легко поднимаются над линейкой без дополнительных предметов, рука проходит под нити основы, приподнимает их немного и создаёт дополнительное натяжение, его достаточно для ткачества без проблем



Когда работа закончена, связываем по две или три нитки основы вместе под самым краем браслета. Для этого удобно в затягиваемый узел воткнуть булавку и подгонять ею узел к браслету при завязывании



нитки по краям браслета можно заплести "косичкой", украсить крупной бусиной и закрепить косичку в конце узлом



Схемку этих "крейзи ящериц" я нашла на сайте biser.info

В работе были использованы нитки предположительно нейлоновые неизвестного производителя ("местного разлива"), иголки длинные Пони №11 и бисер Матсуно размером примерно 2 мм

My bracelet is a little loose and flabby using nymo. I haven't yet tried it with Fireline, maybe it will be more firm.

Abbreviation
 - 11/0 Miyuki Color A (Gold) = 11/0A
 - 11/0 Miyuki Color B (Lavender) = 11/0B
 - 11/0 Miyuki Color C (Green) = 11/0C

1.

001

On comfortable length of thread. Pick up one 11/0 (any color). Pass through the same 11/0 to form a loop. This will be your stop bead. Leave tail around 5-6 inches. You will use this tail to make a seed bead loop to hang your clasp later on.

Then, pick up pearl, 11/0C, 11/0B, 11/0A, crystal, 11/0A, 11/0B and 11/0C.

Openwork rope with rhombs. Beading Cartoon
2014-09-08 10:49 kathy_kostinsky
This beading animated tutorial shows how to weave an openwork beaded rope with rhombs (flowers).
This rope technique was invented by Maya Y. Anufriyeva.
You'll need beads (3 colours), a beading needle and fire line or fishing line. If you use beads size 11, you'll need beading needle size 11-15 and fishing line with diameter 0,15 mm.


My other beading cartooned tutorials you can see at my web-site http://katenkin-biser.ru/lessons/indexeng.php

[Tutorial] : Zia's Cuff

Tutorial : Zia's Cuff
Level : Beginner to Intermediate
Technique : 2 needles crossweave


egy03



Cross Post at : http://bybeejang.blogspot.com/
(I know most of you are not familiar with LJ.)

Equipments (For the big cuff 7 inches with clasp)
- 158 pcs. Czech Fire Polished 4mm. - White Pearl (Local Shops)
- 130 pcs. Swarovski Crystal Bicone 3mm. - Assorted colors (Local Shops)
- Approx 3g. Miyuki Rocailles/Round Seed Beads 8/0 - I'm not sure the number, but it's bronze. (Local Shops)
- Approx 3g. Miyuki Rocailles/Round Seed Beads 11/0 - Duracoat Gold #4202 (BeadsFABUCRAFT at etsy)
- Jumpring and Clasp
- Nymo D - White (or you can use Fireline or your favorite thread)
- 2 beading needles

Abbreviation
- FP = Fire Polished 4mm.
- CB = Crystal Bicone 3mm.
- 8/0 = Miyuki Rocailles/Round Seed Beads 8/0
- 11/0 = Miyuki Rocailles/Round Seed Beads 11/0

egy04

My Swarovski colors are Sapphire, Olivine, Purple Velvet, Light Siam, Blue Zircon, Jonquil and Hyacinth (or Indian Red, I'm not sure). These are 3mm colors I have overstocked (or the colors that hardly get sold from my shop lol). I did not count the specific quantity for each color, you can just pick any color you like. When your base is White, it can go with any bright color. Or you can just play with your favorite colors.

egy05

This is for the small green bracelet, 6.5 inches with clasp.
- 79 pcs. Czech Fire Plished 4mm - Coal Pink/Olivine (beadaholique)
- 78 pcs. Czech Bicone 3mm. - Opaque Green (Local Shops)
- Approx 3g. Miyuki Rocailles/Round 8/0 - Matte Metallic Patina Iris #2008 (Local Shops)
- Approx 3g. Miyuki Rocailles/Round 11/0 - Duracoat Gold #4202 (BeadsFABUCRAFT at etsy)

If you are not familiar with crossweaving, you can do this bracelet with Right Angle Weave too. Just exit at the same bead I cross my needles.

1.

001

Cut the thread one wing span (both your arms wide) and thread the needle at both ends. Pick up four FPs 4mm. to one needle. Use other needle to cross the first FP. Slide all beads to the middle of your thread.

2.

002

Pick up one FP to each needle. Cross them at FP (red arrow).

3.

003

Repeat step 2 all the way to your desired length. Exit at the last FP (red arrow).

4.

004

All the FPs will be your base and we will do top embellishment on the base now. Pick up 11/0 to each needle. Cross them at CB (red arrow).

5.

005

Pick up 11/0 to each needle. Cross them at FP at the base (red arrow).

Repeat step 4 and 5 all the way.

6.

006

This step is for one row bracelet. If you do only one row (like the green bracelet), you can do the seed beads loop for hanging your jumpring and clasp here. Pick up six 11/0s to one needle. Pass through FP (red arrow). You can pass through all beads again for extra security.

7.

007

We will do the embellishment at the side here. Pass each needle to the next FP at the base (red arrows).

8.

008

Pick up 8/0, 11/0, CB, 11/0 and 8/0. Pass through FP (red arrows). Do the same on both needles.

9.

009

Cross both needles at FP (red arrow). Pass through the next FP on each side (blue arrows).

10.

010

Pick up 8/0, 11/0, CB and 11/0. Pass through 8/0 on the previous loop (red arrows) and FP (blue arrows). Do the same on both needles.

Repeat step 9 and 10 all the way.

11.

011

This step is for one row bracelet. If you do one row bracelet, do the seed bead loop here too. Pick up six 11/0s and pass through FP (red arrow). Pass through all beads again for extra security.

012

You can finish off your bracelet now. Pass your threads back into the beads. Tie knot, hide your knot in the beads and pass through more beads before cutting off your threads.

Hang your jumpring and clasp.

egy02

One row is done. :-)

12.

013-1

We will continue with two rows big cuff.

Make another bracelet from step 1 to 5. And do step 8 to add embellishment on one side only. Exit your needle at the next FP at the base (red arrow). Other thread remains at the end FP (blue arrow).

13.

014

Pick up the needle from the end FP. Pass through the next FP (red arrow). Pick up 8/0 and 11/0 and pass through CB from the other bracelet (blue arrow).

14.

015

Using the same needle from the previous step, pick up 11/0 and 8/0. Pass through FP (red arrow) and the next FP (blue arrow). Now the needles cross at the same bead again. Pull your thread snugly.

15.

016

Do the embellishment at the side first. Pick up the needle that is pointing down. Pass through the next FP (red arrow). Pick up 8/0, 11/0, CB and 11/0. Pass through 8/0 (blue arrow), FP (red arrow) and the next FP (green arrow).

16.

017

We do the embellishment in the middle here. Pick up the other needle. Pass through FP (red arrow). Pick up 8/0 and 11/0. Pass though CB from the other bracelet (blue arrow).

17.

018

Pick up 11/0. Pass through 8/0 from the previous loop (red arrow), FP (blue arrow) and the next FP (green arrow). Your needles now cross at the same bead again. Pull your thread snugly.

Repeat 15 - 17.

18.

019

Actually, it depends on the clasp you're using. I use 4-strand slide lock. I made seed beads loop the same way I did step 6 and step 11, but only I pick eight 11/0s and seven 11/0s for the middle loop.

Use jumpring and hang your clasp.

egy03

Finished!

Hope you enjoy this tutorial. Happy Beading!




Two more cartooned tutorials

Hello, everyone!
Let me show you two my new cartooned beading tutorials



My other beading cartoons are here: http://katenkin-biser.ru/lessons/indexeng.php

[Tutorial] Isis
2014-04-02 13:06 beejang
Tutorial : Isis
Level : Beginner to Intermediate


023

Materials
- 40 pcs. Crystal Bicone 4mm - Color A - Hyacinth 2X
- 76pcs. Crystal Bicone 4mm - Color B - Purple Velvet 2X
- 18pcs. Pearl Round 4mm - Creamrose
- Approx 3g. Miyuki Rocailles 11/0 - #4202 Duracoat Gold

- Monofilament Beading Thread (0.25mm). (more info in this tutorial.)

You can substitute crystal bicones or pearls to fire polished beads or any round beads. Just use 4mm.

1.

001

Cut the thread around one wing span of your arms (or just your comfortable length). Pick up alternate pattern of [crystal bicone color A, and 11/0 seed bead] 4 times, total of eight beads.

Cross the threads at the first bicone A (red arrow). Adjust your beadwork to be in the middle of your thread.

2.

002

Pick up 11/0 and crystal bicone color B to each thread. Cross both threads at 11/0 (red arrow).

3.

003

Pick up bicone B and 11/0 to each thread. Cross both threads at bicone A (red arrow).

4.

004

Pick up 11/0, bicone A and 11/0 to each thread. Cross both threads at bicone A (red arrow).

5.

005

Repeat step 2 - 4 until you reach the desired length.

Please note that the final step will make the bracelet shrink a little, around 1 cm or half inch.

6.

006

When you get to the end, just cross your threads at bicone A and 11/0s (red arrows).

7.

007

Pick up 11/0, bicone B, 11/0, bicone B and 11/0. Pass your thread to 11/0 (red arrows). Do the same to both threads.

Cross both threads at bicone A (blue arrow). Pull your threads snugly.

8.

008

Pass your thread to the next 11/0 (red arrows). Pick up 11/0, pearl and 11/0. Pass through 11/0 (blue arrows). Do the same to both threads.

Cross both threads at bicone A (green arrow).

9.

009

When you pull your threads snugly, those pearls will go under and the crystals will lift up.

This will be the same as step 7. Pass through the next 11/0 (red arrows). Pick up 11/0, bicone B, 11/0, bicone B and 11/0. Pass through 11/0 (blue arrows). Do the same to other thread.

Cross both threads at bicone A (green arrow).

Repeat step 8 - 9.

10.

010

Add jumprings and clasp.

022

Finished!

025

This is the other colorway, my first try with this design.
- 40 pcs. Crystal Bicone 4mm - Color A - Erinite
- 76pcs. Crystal Bicone 4mm - Color B - Lavender
- 18pcs. Pearl Round 4mm - White
- Approx 2g. Miyuki Rocailles 11/0 - #4201 Duracoat Silver
- Approx 1g. Miyuki Roncailles 15/0 - #412FR  Matte Opaque Turquoise Green *

* I used 15/0 in step 7 and 8. and the bracelet will shrink a lot more than using all 11/0s.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

PS. I will start crossposting with my other blog at http://bybeejang.blogspot.com/. I have problem with LJ lately and most of you are not familiar with LJ anyway. lol And now, I'm new to blogspot. :D

[Tutorial] Tiny Treasure
2014-01-27 11:56 beejang
Tutorial : Tiny Treasure
Level : Beginner


tiny-01


Material (Finished size is 7 inches)
- 9pcs. Chinese Rondelle 8x6mm (Blue Alabaster)
- 8pcs. Swarovski Pearl Round 6mm. (White)
- 36pcs. Preciosa Czech bicone 4mm. (Crystal Marea 2X) Color A
- 16pcs. Swarovski bicone 4mm. (Air Blue Opal) Color B

Two colors bicones and seed beads are optional. You can go with one color.

I got my materials from local shops in Bangkok, except czech bicones which I bought from beadaholique.

1.

001

Cut the thread around 39 inches (or 100 cm) Pick up rondelle and slide it to the center of your thread. You are now have left and right thread to work with.

* Pick up 11/0 color A, bicone A, 11/0 A, 11/0 B and 11/0 A to both threads.

2.

002

Pick up 6mm round. Cross both threads to this round bead (red arrow).

3.

003

Pick up 11/0 A, 11/0 B, 11/0 A, bicone A and 11/0 A to both threads.

Pick up rondelle, cross both threads at this bead (red arrow).

Repeat the same way from * at step 1 to step 3 until the desired length.

4.

004

When you get the desired length, pick up 11/0 A, bicone A and 11/0 A. Pick up 11/0 B and cross both threads at this bead (red arrow).

This is where you will add jumpring and clasp.

5.

005

Pass back through 11/0 A, bicone A and 11/0 A. Cross both thread at rondelle (red arrow).

6.

006

Pass through 11/0 A, bicone A and 11/0 A (red arrow).

Pick up 11/0 B, bicone B and 11/0 B.

Pass through 11/0 A (blue arrow), bicone A and 11/0 A

Cross both threads at rondelle (green arrow).

Repeat this step for the rest of the bracelet. When you reach the last rondelle, repeat step 4.

You can finish off the threads by weaving back into your beads. Tie double knot and weave into your beads to hide the knot before cutting off the threads.

7.

007

Add jumpring and clasp.

tiny-03

[Tutorial] Twin Ixora
2014-01-19 10:02 beejang
Tutorial : Twin Ixora
Level : Intermediate


023



Materials
- 176-192 pcs. Bicone Crystal 4mm (depend on length)
- Approx 5g. 11/0 Round Seed Beads
- 2 pcs. 8/0 Round Seed Beads (optional)
- 22 - 26 pcs. Round Beads 6mm (depend on length)
- Jumpring
- Two strands box clasp or magnetic clasp or any clasp you like.

- Monofilament Beading Thread (0.25mm - 0.3mm).

Well, actually this is the thread I always used when I said I used fishing nylon thread for crossweaving (mostly in my early tutorials). You can get it easy and cheap from ebay since I believe they're from China. But if you prefer something with brand, please look for Beadalon Supplemax. The thread is strong and thick. Not elastic thread. Good for crossweaving or RAW but not peyote or other stitches. You don't need needle, just hand weave it. No wax is needed too. I think it can hold crystals quite well. With most crystal bracelets I made and wore them in real life (donut thai style or Andreth), it's quite long lasting.

ixora001

The colors for my tourmaline are Jet, Morion, Olivine, Light Olivine, Light Topaz, Rose and Ruby. Please note that swarovski discontinued morion from their production line now so you may have a hard time finding them. Or just use Silver Night or Black Diamond.

The pearl is white.

020

The colors are Purple Velvet 2X, Sapphire 2X, Peridot 2X and Crystal 2X.

Two kinds of 6mm round beads are white pearl and crystal round (#5000, Purple Velvet, Peridot AB and Light Sapphire AB).

This tutorial is similar to Crystal Bracelet #17. In short, you just make two crystal bracelets #17 from step 1 - 13, and then, just connect them with pearl 6mm.

1.

001

8/0 here is optional. You can just use 11/0.

Cut the thread around 100 cm. Pick up four 11/0s, 8/0 and three 11/0s. Cross the threads at the first 11/0 (red arrow).

2.

002

Cut another thread around 100 cm. Pass through 8/0. Pick up three 11/0s for each side and cross the threads at 11/0 (red arrow).

3.

003

Now you will have four threads to play with. Enjoy!

4.

004

On the right threads, pick up one crystal to each thread. Cross them at 11/0 (red arrow).

5.

005

On the left threads, pick up two 11/0s and cross them at 11/0 (red arrow).

6.

006

Pull your thread snugly. Now you see the four threads are pointing up and down.

7.

007

Now we will work with two threads pointing up. Pick up one crystal to the right thread. Pick up two 11/0s to the left thread. Cross them at 11/0 (red arrow).

8.

008

Now to the two threads pointing down. Pick up one crystal to the right thread. Pick up two 11/0s to the left thread. Cross them at the 11/0 (red arrow).

Pull your threads. Those four threads are pointing to left and right as we start in step 3.

Repeat crossweaving from step 4 to 8. I know the photos are difficult to understand. And don't worry about picking up the wrong threads. When you weave it, it's hard to miss since the base will be all seed beads and crystals will be on top.

9.

011

When you get the desired length, pick up three 11/0s to each thread. Cross them at 8/0 (red arrow).

10.

012

This is how I finish off the thread. Pass one thread through three 11/0s, and pass another thread to four 11/0s. Tie the double knots here (red arrow). And pass your thread to the crystal or 11/0s to hide the knot inside your beads before cutting the remaining thread. Do the same for the other threads.

11.

013

Make two bracelets.

12.

014

Cut new thread (I can't remember how long, one arm and a little more maybe?). Pick up 6mm round. Pass your thread to the crystals at the corner on both bracelets (red arrows). And pass through the next crystals (blue arrows).

13.

015

Cross both threads at 6mm round (red arrow).

14.

016

Pass through two crystals. Do the same for both sides (red arrows). Cross both threads at 6mm round (blue arrow). Repeat this step for the entire length.

Weave the remaining thread to your beads and tie double knot. Pass your threads into your beads to hide the knot before cutting off your threads.

022

Use jumpring to add your clasp. Finished!

Play with colors and have fun! Happy Beading!
