Bead Patterns
Glass Bead Jewelry This is a pretty funky piece that you can put on with your casual wear, and very easy to make. You will need: assorted glass beads, Beadalon bead stringing wire, clasp set, crimp beads or tubes, needle-nose pliers, and wire cutters. Begin by cutting the bead stringing wire that is 6 inches longer than the intended length of the jewelry. Thread on a crimp bead and one piece of the clasp set. Bend the tip of the wire about two inches long so that it goes back through the crimp bead, and pull it close to against the clasp. Flatten the crimp bead next to the clasp using the needle-nose pliers so as to prevent it from sliding out of its place. Next, thread all your glass beads into the wire making sure that the first few beads are threaded over both thickness of the wire. String the other crimp bead into the wire as well as the next half of the clasp, then slide the wire back to the crimp bead and few beads that follow. To finish this project, pull the wire so that the beads are snug up to each other and flatten the crimp bead. Cut the wire at the closest of the beads as possible. Lariat Necklace Well, how did you find that project? Once you'll grow to love beading, it might turn to be one of your inexpensive and creative hobbies and soon you can work on your own design. This Lariat Necklace pattern is also great for casual or semi-casual wear. You will need: glass beads of assorted colors, a 36" chain (sterling silver or gold-plated would do), headpins or eyepins, split ring, needle-nose pliers, and wire cutters. Assemble several beaded pendants first: thread some beads on the eyepin or headpin and keep around 1/3" of the wire then cut off any excess wire. Grip the wire extending over the beads and bend in a direction opposite to you. Next, grip the wire tip and bend it to make a loop. Remember to close the loop securely to the beads. You can opt to attach split rings prior to completely closing the loop. For the grand finale, attach the beaded pendants to the ends of the chain. Then completely close the loops. Now, you're ready to wear your Lariat Necklace. There are hundreds of online bead patterns, however, you might find some bead patterns to be a bit hard to do. Don't worry, just practice on the simpler bead patterns and you'll get the heck of it eventually. Have fun! |
