These beads are fabulous with the classic Hollow Crystal Bead
designs to make into a show stopper of a necklace. Use one or
make multiple beads in different colors for a great necklace
that can be worn with multiple outfits. You will need Size 11/0, 8/0, 6/0 Seed Beads, 8mm and 6mm Fire Polish Crystals, Druks, Stone or Swaravski Crystals to create these fun baubles. This bead stitch creates a soft and flexible bracelet or necklace reminiscent of a crocheted rope. But on this project you don't have to string all your beads in advance, you add them as you go. You can vary the size of beads and the shapes to create many different looks. For your first project just choose three colors of Size 8/0 seed beads and button for your closure. Once you become more advanced you can change the size of the three colors for a more dynamic twist for a completely different look. Spiral Rope The spiral rope is a great bead stitch to use for a nice soft flexible necklace. You can use many different kinds of beads and shapes to create an infinate number of variations that all look different and yet are the same stitch. You'll need at least two colors of Size 8 to learn the stitch, then go crazy! Experiment away, it's only thread if you have to cut it apart! As with the sample shown to the right, instead of just two colors of beads, she used three colors PLUS fresh water seed pearls, her own lampwork bead and a Czech glass button to create this beauty. |
