TUTORIAL Playful Bracelet & Earrings

Sidonia — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 15:17:06 +0000

New design tutorial with only seed beads! Well, almost, I just had to add a few crystals too because I wanted a touch of bling!

Beading tutorial for Playful bracelet and earrings made with seed beads and crystals. This beading tutorial is very detailed, with easy to follow step by step instructions, therefore very easy to follow.

Easy and quick beading project, suitable for intermediate and on beaders, although advanced beginning beaders should give it a try too.

Material list

15/0 Miyuki round seed beads
11/0 Miyuki round seed beads
8/0 Miyuki round seed beads
3mm Swarovski bicones
11×5.5mm Swarovski briolettes (6010)
Pair of ear wires and (2) jump rings, Bronze
Size 12 beading needle
0.12mm Fireline beading thread
0.3mm Elonga Stretchy Bead Stringing cord
Threader to thread the elastic cord onto your size 12 needle

If you don’t have a threader, then go to my Youtube channel, Sidonia’s handmade jewelry, and watch my tutorial on how to thread a needle with elastic thread. I find that the method I use is safer for the elastic cord because the threader is a thin wire that could damage the elastic thread when pulling it through the needle’s eye, while it doesn’t happen when using just my method.
