CRAW Sparkle Ring Tutorial

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Oh my gosh, Gina, I made this 5 years ago but my granddaughter came to bead with me and I decided to make 2 more of these beauties. Yes you need to have a grasp on CRAW. Gorgeous!

[@justrhonda32404.]

Gina thank you for thos tutorial! After 10 attempts I finally got it right!! (Because I'm a newbie started in December) but I finally got craw and did it!!! ❤❤❤ thank you for sharing such beautiful talent! This is by far the prettiest ring I've seen on YT!

[@Mscarol4767]

I just finished one in crystal 3mm bicones and sterling seed beads - and I am obsessed! Now I need to order more 3mm bicones and make one of every color!!!

[@silvergypsylady]

Love this. Your designs are wonderful. I love how this looks like stones set into a metal band but is made entirely of beads. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Yes, I like that too, it’s what I was trying to achieve, have fun with it!

[@cindytsai6859]

I love this sparkle ring! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Already made a green one, just like a emerald ring. Love it.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Cindy Tsai fabulous! I am happy you are enjoying this one❤️

[@GinasGemCreations]

+Cindy Tsai so happy to hear that! I think a ruby colored one is my next venture, it looks great in any color! Thanks for watching.

[@lupangelinan8334]

Thank you Gina, I love your work and your instructions are very comfortable to follow, I will be wearing my beautiful ring soon!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Yes! Glad to hear it, have fun!

[@beadinggem]

Spectacular design, Gina! Thanks for sharing. I will link this tutorial on my blog in due course so others can come learn from you!!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Thanks! I appreciate that.

[@silvergypsylady]

Gorgeous ring, it looks like something you would buy at a jewelry store. I love your designs. Thank you for sharing.

[@GinasGemCreations]

You are welcome, glad you like it.🌹

[@melissadavis7315]

This ring is so flippin gorgeous and not too difficult to make once you get the hang of it! Im going to make a couple of them in different colors! Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs with us, you do such a great job!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Thank you, I agree, it’s pretty fast once you get the stitch down and yes, it’s pretty, have fun!💕

[@msmikkic9738]

This is the best explanation of how to do CRAW that I've seen, yet. Thank you, Gina. And the ring is beautiful! 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@GinasGemCreations]

Oh thanks, I was so worried, it’s hard to see with the silver beads, I made two CRAW videos this week, one yet to be posted, both with silver beads, both hard to see...I will use darker, or less shiny beads next time, but I am happy you liked it!

[@norgiesobczyk7466]

Beautiful ring miss Gina! Thank you !

[@anitahenley1010]

I finally did it! I made two rings yesterday. I think, what may have helped me a lot was I went through all steps at least twice. It helped in keeping the beads in their place. Once again it is a beautiful ring.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Fantastic! It is a little confusing, but well worth the effort to learn💕

[@susanpicken6874]

Very pretty! Just finished one ring with the Emerald bicones (birthstone). I must make additional colors! ❤️.Thanks for another great Creation!

[@sandrahanagan9087]

I have just made this ring and it’s beautiful, I have been trying to learn CRAW for months and months and today I have done it! I am so thrilled Gina thank you so much xx

[@GinasGemCreations]

I am so happy to hear that! I was worried that this one would be hard to follow, the silver beads are hard to see on video. But I am so happy you learned CrAW, it’s one of those stitches that confuses the crap out of you, until you get it, then it’s so simple!

[@sandrahanagan9087]

Gina's Gem Creations it’s a fantastic video as all of them are! Just keep doing what your doing xx by the way I made earrings and a bracelet with the same pattern

[@noemicarrion6883]

Wow beautiful. Your so talented and God bless you for sharing it with us. I became sick a year ago and I have no been able to get myself together to start again. But looking at this beautiful ring I'm to try to make it. Thank you for being my inspiration.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Yes, try it! Beading is great therapy. Get well soon!💕

[@sherrihellman7975]

Glad you are back! Love this ring. The colors you choose are gorgeous. I would have like you to show us how to fix the 11-o. I get to a point and find a mistake and would like to fix it. Thank you!!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Oh, sorry, next time I will😁

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Enjoyed this tutorial. I can't wait to make a few. I am loving this CRAW technique very much. Thank you.

Glad you're back. Missed ya. Love the ring, can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing the tutorial.

[@GinasGemCreations]

It has been a while, hasn’t it? I just haven had time to design. So I am designing on video...ha! Could be a train wreck!

[@susanchamblee2549]

So pretty Gina❣️ It was YOU that taught me how to CRAW way back when...maybe almost 2 years ago when I made your bangle. Always gotta go thru your floor and then back up to the ceiling which becomes your new floor with my mantra of 3-2-2-1....Gosh I love this stitch and it was you who so patiently taught me. And once I learned it - I never forgot! Now I do multiple rows and split rows and I make so many different shapes. It is such a wonderful stitch to design around!! I made a cool CRAW tool out of 8/0’s (about 6-8 cubes) which acts as a starter tool for any size bead. I never need it EXCEPT for 15/0’s...I have the hardest time holding onto those little buggers! But using the tool gives me something to hold on to and it makes a terrific rope/chain for any necklace!! Thank you so much. Just love the way you teach Gina❣️ And I sure have missed you. Glad to see you’re back and with such a lovely new project!!!

[@GinasGemCreations]

LOL, what a joy to read this comment! I am very happy to know that my videos are teaching and helping people learn. I hesitate to do projects with CRAW because it is so difficult to teach...but it such a rewarding stitch to learn. Like you said, it’s so versatile, wonderful to design with. Thank you for your encouraging comment, made my day👍😁

[@pso1391]

I absolutely love this ring but I don’t have a lot of 3mm bicones in my bead stitch. I used 3mm round crystals with 11/0 seeds on the top instead of 15/0’s (but 15’s everywhere else). I got several comments the first day I wore it. Thanks for your willingness to share your designs with us!!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Great, nice swap of beads! Enjoy your new ring!

[@julialenoir4345]

Thanks for the design Gina. I can do craw and am looking forward to making this ring. Beautiful.

Teresa Fernbacher you are welcome, have fun!

[@Melindrea]

I just made this one for me and my spouse. I used duracoat champagne 11/0, antique ivory 15/0 and a mix of tanzanite and black diamond (both AB coated) bicones, with smoke fireline. the first one I made with 8lb fireline, but I think with the amount of times I was going back through beads it ended up a bit thick (I accidentally broke one 11/0 on the band), so the second I made with 6lb. It looks amazing. I highly recommend using bicones with a bit of extra shine, since the RAW formation picks up the light really good =)

[@Elisatizol]

Hello, I loved the beautiful ring. Please, could you do the tutorial again with other colors of crystals and that color is not appreciated very well. I am a new follower. I hope you can answer me. Thank you very much.

[@janetcannon5666]

Qué pesar que no te pude entender 😣, pero no por el Idioma , porque viendo se puede, si no por que se perdió varios movimientos y no dices que mostacillas estás utilizando en el momento ,si empiezas con la 15/0 o la 11/0 .

[@mddell58]

*Why do the most gorgeous rings (patterns) have to look so very impossible to make!? Is there any way to make it a little more simpler? I don't even want to try.*

[@GinasGemCreations]

D Hoosier if you learn CRAW first, and do it several times with larger beads, this one will be easier.

[@marty3697]

Hi Gina, beautiful ring. Can I use myuki seed beads instead of tohos? Again, thank you for a great tutorial.

[@GinasGemCreations]

You can, it should be fine.

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Why did you chose to use Nanofill over Fireline?

[@GinasGemCreations]

Nanofil is smaller in diameter than Fireline, so you can use a higher test weight, which is stronger, and not worry about filling your beads too much with several passes through them. It is also smoother and does not wear and as easily as you pull it through the beads.

[@lyljones1]

I am going to have to try this... very pretty!

[@anitamoreno1715]

So beautiful. Does it work with 4mm bicones?

[@GinasGemCreations]

Yes, but I then increase the sizes of seed beads too"...in other words, where I use an 11/o, I use an 8/0 instead, where I use a 15/o I use an 11/0 ....

[@angela_perelli_777]

dear Gina, the name of Swarovski bicones is black diamond ab2x, i am pretty sure because i have got this color, thanks for so many sparkling stunning projects shared with us
