Thank you! I feel confident as a new beader :) Very detailed. Thanks for posting!

[@danni8176]

You're such a good teacher

[@namepls1157]

Hello, I really liked this tutorial but for some reason I couldn't get it right, can you please make another detailed tutorial maybe for the dog face? ❤

[@beadaholique]

Hi! I can add that idea to our request list - thank you for the suggestions :)

[@leostitcher]

Thank you. I'm so glad you made a video on this technique. I've been wanting to explore making these for a long time.

Hi I cannot find the pattern for kitty cat necklace on beadaholic I follow your link found instructions but not the pattern

[@beadaholique]

Hello! I looked on the necklace project page and it appears that the pattern is in the Printer Friendly PDF, down on the bottom right side. It is also on the main project page for that design, as the 3rd photo. beadaholique.com/products/fluffy-white-kitty-cat-necklace. I hope this helps

[@Courkly]

Thank you!! I saw this kind of thing recently and wanted to make one for a friend. This helped me get used to it and figure out a big one, too!!

[@beadaholique]

Wonderful! Doesn't it feel good to take a lesson like this and then figure out how to apply it to a larger design? Glad we could help get you started!

[@jodyherr3249]

Cool! I've been wanting to make earrings like this and couldn't figure out how to do the brick stitch increases and decreases needed. Threw me off at first. Then I realized you're a lefty! Thanks for your help!

[@updownstate]

These are so dainty. The fastest way I've learned to make these is to lay out each row's beads in order before I start.

[@beadaholique]

That's a really good tip for doing these, thanks Diane!

[@haydenwarren253]

trying to follow this is so infuriating 😂😂 not cos of u just be ause the beads are tiny and im getting confused by "up" thrown rhe bead and "down" through the bead... how do i know what ways what?

[@beadaholique]

Hi! I am sorry it's frustrating. The beads are definitely small and it takes time to get used to how they "work". My best advice is to do a little practice without all the increases and decreases and just get used to the beads and brick stitch first and then play with a pattern like this one.

[@haydenwarren253]

@@beadaholique Yes thanks that's what I ended up doing 💖 No need to apologize like I said it's not because of u, just because seed beads are so little it was hard to see what ur actually doing ! I've been practicing the stitches with perler beads, definitely made some progress thanks

[@mjsloan92]

I feel silly asking this, but has anyone tried making any brick/peyote stitch pieces using just regular seed beads? I'm guessing that they would be Czech glass beads. The ones that are not as uniform in shape. I have a TON of those kind of seed beads and was wondering if my piece would end up looking terrible even if I use ones that are mostly similar in size and shape. Does that make sense?

[@beadaholique]

Czech glass beads can be used for this technique and if they are generally around the same size they will work. We have a few weaving projects that use Czech seed beads: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=czech+seed&_=pf&pf_t_product_type=0-Product-Type%3AProject

[@mjsloan92]

@@beadaholique Thank you SO much! I figured this was the case seeing as how inconsistent Czech glass beads are!

[@mjsloan92]

And if I don't have Fireline what would be the next best kind of string to use for these projects? If the choices are between sewing thread or something similar to fishing wire?

[@beadaholique]

@@mjsloan92 Besides plastic thread like Fireline, we recommend Nylon. Some good brands for Nylon cord are Super Lon (S-Lon), Nymo and K.O..

Sorry you're having a tough time with this brick stitch, let me know if there's anything in particular you're struggling with, we're here answer questions.

[@joannel5074]

@@beadaholique i think i just need to keep practicing. Thank you

[@beadaholique]

It does take a good bit of practice, our designer Rachel made a ton of these over a few months before she did the video. Hang in there, it'll come to you!

[@barbra429]

Does anyone know where I can find more animal patterns to make bracelets like this one, what is it called? Thanks

[@beadaholique]

Hi! We have several on our website that are free to download. Just click into the project and there is an option to download PDF instructions beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=cat*+brick*+stitch*

@@beadaholique Thank you

[@hpfilmsplaylists4161]

What kind of beads did you use? & Would this work with czech seed beads and glass seed beads?

[@beadaholique]

Hi Ashley, for brick stitch patterns like this we use MIyuki Delicas, typically in size 11/0. They're precision shaped glass beads. While we love czech glass seed beads we typically don't recommend them for this kind of pattern work, the rounder shape won't let them stack together as tightly as the cylindrical Miyukis

[@katiealexandra5880]

I have a question! I was using 0.24mm but it seems like you're using 0.12mm, the beads weren't lining up at all and were too loose even if i tightened them, do you think that's because the wire is too thick? :)

[@beadaholique]

Yes I think that might be the case here. We provide links to all the supplies in the video description to make sure you are working with the exact items we used to make the project work. Sometimes there's a bit a leeway, but generally the smaller and finer detailed pieces like this want exact measurements. Here's a link to the Fireline we used, it's 0.15mm: :beadaholique.com/products/fireline-braided-beading-thread-4lb-test-and-0-005-thick-15-yards-crystal-clear

[@leilanilogan40]

What do you mean? She isn't using wire

[@susanmarvin8476]

Please help! I've been working on this all weekend and cannot get past the first row of ladder stitch. When I go to make the first decrease my beads 'do not' fall in place. If I get the first pink one to fit the white will not.

[@riyuilee295]

Will this work with bigger beads like pony beads?

[@beadaholique]

Yeah this technique should work with pony beads too. It will have a slightly different look since most larger beads don't stack together as tightly as these delicas but I think it will still be nice and cute

[@skye617]

hello, how do you make it with whiskers?

[@beadaholique]

I think you would need to perhaps paint them on over the beads if you want whiskers

[@julesmrs]

Just click on this link and click on printer friendly pdf www.beadaholique.com/fluffy-white-kitty-cat-necklace.html

[@lamerc]

Beadaholique's answers are missing the point, but I noticed that if you go into the project listings for each separate cat pendant (www.beadaholique.com/beading-resources/beading-projects-tutorials/bead_weaving ), the third picture on the page is basically the pattern. You can just save off and use the picture. (As for the dog, no luck...)

[@hajnalerika1580]

To look bad as he pins the beads!

[@tinaevans5198]

Ok ..question? Are you alternating each line or going straight up?

[@beadaholique]

Hi Tina, I'm not quite certain what you mean by "up" here. The orientation of the piece changes as you work on it so that can be a tricky. The basic idea is this though: We start with the ladder stitch baserow and then complete each line one at a time, moving from one side of the animal's face to the other. Following the video steps in that fashion you'll end up with a finished piece exactly as show. You can get a better look at the cat necklace here on its project page: beadaholique.com/products/fluffy-white-kitty-cat-necklace

[@tinaevans5198]

@@beadaholique I was wondering you start on the left all the way up or 2nd line left then 3rd right all the way up? Or just straight up?

@@tinaevans5198 Ah I see what you're asking. It's 2nd line left, the 3rd right. You do alternate the lines.

Is there a way to make these on the bead loom?

[@beadaholique]

Sadly no, you would have too many warp threads to tie in. Also the way the beads sit would be too straight and not jagged like they are in brick stitch.
