Techniques for making

Simple

Mosaic

For those who are drawn into the world of beadwork and unfamiliar with the basic concepts, the mosaic technique will do. The easiest way. Take a base, a thread with a needle or fishing line. For the first row, put an odd number of even beads on the base.

A short tail of the framework fix. And on the long dial one bead at a time, and fasten them through one with every other bead from the previous row to make a mosaic.

That is, taking the first row, extend the base into the third bead from the end of the first row. Then take a new bead on the base, and pass, perhaps, the needle through the fifth bead from the end of the first row. And so repeat threading the base through one with extra beads until the row is complete.

Then reverse the course of action. And make a band of beads until it is as long as the circumference of the harness should be.

At the end of the same way, but instead of new beads must be taken protruding beads from the first row to close the circle.

Square

Also not difficult. But the needleworker must have a full understanding of the desired shape. Because the technique is the creation of a piling of cubes in the correct sequence.

To create it is necessary to take better fishing line or wire. To begin with, create a sketch of what you want. Count how many beaded squares are needed for each side of the piece. The fishing line or wire is best left with two long tails at the beginning.

Take the first quart of beads and lock the ends of the fishing line on one bead. Put 2 more beads on each whisker and take the third one to lock them in the same way. Remember that on which bead the whiskers will be closed, and there will turn the course of weaving.

When you do the first row of squares, close the tendrils on one of the side beads and taking another square, close the line in the same way.

Next, perform the technique by adding only 2 beads each, but sell one of the whiskers through the side beads of the finished row.

If it is a matter of making a rectangle and the necessary cloth of 4 rows of square is done, just fix the outermost beads by looping the base in them. And if it is necessary to create a side rectangle, it is enough to give the necessary shape with your fingers and doplesti missing beads.

Remember that an error can be corrected either by easy unweaving or by threading the fishing line through the finished design to the area where something is missing.

Challenging

Turkish Tourniquet

This kind of weaving has a number of features:

Relief;
The use of variously-sized beads;
Suitable for ethno-style.

American

This is a very openwork technique. Its surface is very uneven, which gives its charm. To try this technique, it is enough to find a video of the master crisscrosses of the American beaded harness.

Knitting with a column

Crochet beadwork for beginners should not be particularly difficult. For lovers of crochet, this way will not be a problem. The point is that you dial on the thread in advance the required number of beads, make an air ring, as in any crochet.

Later you knit as usual, but cling the thread between the beads. This is how they are fixed in the knitting.

An offshoot of this technique is half-stitch knitting.

Where to get inspiration.

Many people even before purchasing materials do not know where to start. There are several options. First, trust your intuition and when buying beads just buy the colors you like the most. Choose the technique that suits you best. And weave, adding beads at random. That way you get a purely unique product.

Secondly, on the Internet you can find a huge number, various designs and diagrams of weaving, such as a scheme of beaded harnesses crochet. Choosing the one you like best, you can buy materials and get to work.

How to finish the product

Secure the base. Thread - tie the knots. Burn the fishing line with a fire so that it melts a little and takes a closed form. The wire is enough to roll up obliquely and cut it off, or tie it in knots. Attach the costume jewelry fasteners and fasten the hooks.

Attach hooks without fasteners, and the piece will appear to be of poor quality.

You need hooks for earrings.

Use an original way to fasten is to use fast curing materials. For example, epoxy resin. It is enough to apply one drop on the fastening places and dry under a UV lamp.

Solving All Issues

All questions are solved if a universal answer is found. What to wear around the neck or wrist, what to use as a belt, what to pick up as jewelry on a bag. Such a solution may be a lariat - a long, versatile harness.

Finally, use not hooks or clasps, but large keychain rings to put the clasps on already.

A nice gift

An ornament made as a beaded braid can be a great gift for a beloved girl or girlfriend. Knowing that the product is made by hand, not ordered or purchased, the person will appreciate the love and respect invested in the gift.

Also very suitable as a gift for a little girl. Or you can make this ornament together with your child, promoting the development of his creativity.

Take your time in the manufacture of anything, because otherwise it may be sloppy or ugly. In terms of needlework, it's better to save money than time. Especially, fine motor skills help to cope with stress and anxiety, and helps to think calmly about possible solutions.
