I
haven’t done any bead weaving for a while, so I thought it would be nice to try
something simple just to get into the swing of things again. This is a tutorial
on how to make a ring with a flower detail and like the title says, it is nice
and easy!
You
will need:
Tweezers
(useful when threading through the smaller beads as it can be quite fiddly!)
Scissors
Fishing
wire (x 1m)
1mm
White beads (x 54)
1mm
Blue beads (x 8)
4mm
Pink bicone bead (x 1)
4mm
Blue bicone beads (x 6)
(Use
more or less 1mm beads if you want to make a larger or smaller ring, the amount
used for this tutorial makes a UK size M)
Step
1: Thread 5 4mm coloured bicone beads onto the fishing wire, move the beads so
they fall to the middle of the piece of fishing wire. Then thread both ends of
the fishing wire through a pink 4mm bicone bead.
Step
2: Then thread both ends of the fishing wire through the beads you threaded
previously, as marked in the diagram. (The wire should go through two coloured
bicone beads on both sides). Then thread the wire through another coloured
bicone bead.
Thread
three 1mm beads on one end of the fishing wire, repeat for the other piece of
wire. Then thread both ends through a blue 1mm bead.
Step
3: Repeat the threading of 1mm beads until you have reached the desired length.
Then thread both ends of wire through the 4mm blue bicone bead to make the ring
shape. Thread the wire through the existing beads until both ends of wire are
next to each other so you can tie a knot.
