Tutorial: Flat Herringbone
Needed Materials:
Delica Beads
Toho beads – 15o
14mm Rivoli
Fireline thread 6lb
Needle #12
Step 1:
Pick up 36 delica beads. Pass back through all the beads once more, to create a circle. Pick up 1 bead and, skipping a bead, pass through the next delica. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Continue in this manner all the way around your circle. |
|
To step up to begin a new row, when adding your last bead, pass through both the next bead and the first bead added in this row. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Step 2:
Now it’s time to tighten our circle using smaller beads. Pick up 1 15o and, skipping a bead, pass through the next bead that is sticking out. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Repeat step 2 all the way around your circle. |
|
Remember, to step up, pass through both the next bead and the first bead added in this row. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Tighten your circle. |
|
Repeat step 2 all the way around your circle to add a second row of 15os. |
|
… |
|
… |
|
Don’t forget to step up at the end of a row! |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Pass through the beads shown to get into position to add your rivoli. |
|
Place your rivoli in the bezel cup shiny side down. |
|
Repeat step 2 twice to secure the rivoli in the bezel. |
|
And you are finished! |
