I like that bubble pattern. I think I might use it in a pendent of some kind. Thank you for the demo.

[@beadaholique]

Hi! We have several videos which can help you. The first one is how to tie off and add a thread to bead weaving - this will show you how to end your thread. There is not really a way to "close off" peyote, if you mean that you want all the beads even with each other. Megan made a great video on how to create a beaded toggle clasp for a peyote bracelet. You can also just stitch a closed jump ring to the end of your bead weaving and then attach a clasp to that.

[@beadaholique]

Hi! Yes, it could very well have to do with your beads being slightly irregular in shape. The beauty of peyote stitch is that uniform beads lock tightly in place, like puzzle pieces coming together. I would give it a try with some Miyuki Delicas, I think you will have far better luck.

[@beadaholique]

Hi! I would suggest putting glue into the ribbon crimp (E6000) and then gently squeezing the crimp - but not as hard as you normally would. Since the beads are made of glass, it is really a delicate matter putting a crimp on the end. I would suggest actually not using a ribbon crimp and instead sewing a clasp onto the side the your stitching. A tube clasp works well for this but there are other clasps and strand reducers out there as well.

[@SerahRos]

thanks so much for your (very quick) reply!! I watched the video probably 17 times last night, and finally have a nice run happening :) I am just being picky about which beads from the vials I chose - it's a bit tedious, but is definitely working out nicely now.

[@beadaholique]

For your knots, make sure to not just tie one knot, but work your needle and thread into the beading, tie another knot, work it in some more, tie another, etc... All this helps. Good luck!

[@beadaholique]

stretching out a little is normal, but it sounds like yours is stretching quite a bit. I think it may have to do with your thread tension and knots. My suggestion would be to work your needle and thread back into quite a bit of your beadwork after you have finished. This will reinforce the tension and also help the structure of the ring stay intact.

[@beadaholique]

It is possible to do odd count peyote. It does not go quite as fast as even count peyote but what it allows you to do is create a pattern with a center row - which is great for arrow designs. I will do a video soon showing how to do this stitch, I think that is easier then explaining.

[@deedeebeads]

@Beadaholique ty so much love the blogs

[@beadaholique]

@Beadaholique countinued - As far as the bead size goes, it might be easier to start with a larger size such as an 8/0 Czech glass seed bead or a 10/0 Miyuki delica. Many beginner pdf patterns are available online, usually for purchase. Keep checking back with us for free project instructions using peyote stitch and other fun techniques! Thanks!

vous êtes très très belle et votre bracelet est super jolie merci de nous en faire profiter

[@beadaholique]

@Beautyforhire Go to Beadaholique's website and search for Project R109 - Silvery Bubbles Ring. You will find a list of supplies and instructions there.

[@beadaholique]

We have instructions on how to make the Silvery Bubbles Ring - Project R109 - on Beadaholique . com's website. There's a link for it in the video description underneath this video.

[@beadaholique]

@kev041964 There are many different excellent types of beading thread on the market, but for a beginner I would recommend using Fireline (sku: XCR-1278). The reason being is that Fireline consists of incredibly strong and durable synthetic fibers which are braided together, and unlike traditional nylon beading thread it does not require pre-stretching or waxing. You can also color it to match your beads using a permanent marker.

[@LTU89]

I love the bracelet and the rings! Very beautiful and simple to make!! :)

[@beadaholique]

I'm not sure why that is happening. I checked the link underneath this video for the Silvery Bubbles Bracelet - Project B141 - and the link works. Please try it again or you can go to our Free Beading Projects and enter in "Silvery Bubbles Bracelet", it should come up.

[@marisolcortezponce9253]

gracias por el proyecto, esta precioso

[@tinamarmie]

Andrea can you show us how to do the ring. I love it i think it is gorgeous.

[@Tasoq]

i thought it was going to be showing how to make the bracelet on the preview picture..

[@michalf17]

I followed the instruction for Silvery Bubbles Ring, and made a ring that fits my finger exactly. After wearing it for just 2 days, the ring grew larger, and is now falling off my finger. I used FireLine 0.006 and miyuki beads. Could you please help me understand if this is normal, so I should make the next ring smaller, or if there is some problem that I should be aware of? I’d appreciate any help, Thanks, Michal.

[@scheinchen703]

I don't know why.. but i can't see anything with the undertitle :( right in front of what you are doing

[@clairebacchi360]

Would you please do a tutorial on your ring? I'm new and would appreciate it very much. Thanks 😊

[@beadaholique]

The ring was the designer's personal jewelry and there is not a tutorial for it, but it uses the same Flat Even Count Peyote Stitch as in this video.

[@crystalaceyzaporo]

*close the ends securely and apply a clasp

[@SerahRos]

I just cannot get this to work! Is it because my beads aren't very equal in size? They are "vintage" from the 50's and 60's, and while they are all *generally* the same size, they are far from uniform.

[@CraftnMomma]

Would c-lon/nymo work ok for this as well or is it not strong enough? I came across a collection of 36 colors of beading thread (for free!!) and would rather use colors that blend if it would be strong enough. before anyone asks, it was a yard sale and they just threw those in with other beading stuff i bought, i dont know any magic websites, lol

[@beadaholique]

Charlotte Burnside You could use a nymo thread but it will not be as strong. You might also run into issues where your needle will puncture the thread during multiple passes and this could give you trouble in regards to breaking or snagging.

[@almuth.scheller]

...είναι η ίδια τεχνική (peyote stitch). Για το σχέδιο της φωτογραφίας χρησιμοποιήθηκαν απλά σταδιακά μεγαλύτερες χάνδρες (στο δεύτερο χρώμα)...

[@dlk6g]

Thanks for the video....how do you finish the ring?

[@beadaholique]

We have another more recent video that shows how to finish a flat even count peyote ring kzbin.info/www/bejne/laSchWuNe8usfLs

[@nicinhasofia]

it need to be with wildfire? can you explain me the diference between wildfire, fireline and c- lon? im new in these kind of bracelets thats why im asking

[@beadaholique]

You can do bead weaving with any type of beading thread. Which one you use will depend on the beads and the design. Wildfire is a little sturdier, good for larger seed beads or giving structure to your work. Fireline is better for smaller seed beads or a more flexible piece. We don't carry c-lon, but I think it's similar to NYMO or K-O, which are good for very fluid pieces like tassels and fringe. www.beadaholique.com/c-60385-beading-thread-and-cord.aspx?KZbin&
