Open Double-Sided Beadwoven Star Tutorial

[@BackYardRejects]

thankyou sm for the tutorial!! used 6mm X 9mm Kandi beads and it turned out awesome!

[@sheriffoftiltover]

Same!

[@donnahoefler2748]

This is by far the prettiest star I have seen to date. Your video is very good and clear and easy to follow. I look forward to viewing more by you. Thank you so much.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Donna Hoefler many thanks for your feedback😀 I love these stars too⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@angela0042]

"Lemon demon" IM LEVITATING

[@susanmacwilliams8785]

I found your tutorial to be very easy to follow and the stars came out so cute! Thank you for generously sharing your talent.

[@itinerantchemist6241]

After making this size version a couple of times, I had a bit of a fiddle and managed to make a smaller star. However, it shrank the central hole down to a 5-bead ring, so perhaps not exactly an "open" shape in the same way. Still, it's cute and the exact same techniques for the rows and adding the second side seemed to work, so I'm pretty happy with it.

[@jojobrew4798]

Thank you so much for this, I followed along and got scared starting the second side but I did it and got it, 🙌 only been beading for about a year so I'm so happy. Thank you again 💐🙏

[@jeweliedee4299]

Wow! You must be talented because that is a challenge for a short time beader. Congrats!

[@cindyevans219]

Oh, I found the vid for the larger star …. I’m so excited. Thank you. Happy Holidays 🎄☃🎄

[@leostitcher]

OK I did my first star. Your instructions were clear and concise and the nice thing about a video is that I could back it up if I missed something. Great little beaded star too. Love it!!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it worked out! :-)

[@susanrittenberg2700]

I used size 8/0 seed beads and 13 beads across for a lovely ornament for my neighbor. Thank you.

[@Darlene.P]

These are so beautiful! I’ve made two so far and they turned out gorgeous! Thank you so much !

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Yay! I'm so glad! Thank you for the feedback.

[@karenpurvis793]

I think I will try one with 8/0 delicas just to see how it looks. Absolutely love this star! It would make a beautiful christmas ornament. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Please keep em coming.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Cool idea with 8/0s--it should work fine! Would make a great ornament!!

[@gatewaylongview3219]

Love your clear video presentation, I plan on trying the star this weekend.

[@ardycekritikos7838]

I was thrilled to actually complete one it looks exactly like yours! My first one didn't work out so well and I think of it as an original LOL however the second time around I was able to make a perfect one! Thank you so so much

[@Gymgirl989]

What a wonderful video tutorial, I am a very visual person and your videos really helps, I have made 3 pairs of earrings so far and they all turn out beautiful!! Thank you very much!! Please do more seed beads stuff, I love seed beads work so much!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Many thanks, and I have plans to do more. Haven't been able to film anything with the holidays and snow days! Stay tuned!

[@shannonguzzo3687]

SO clear, and a really cool design!

[@cindyevans219]

Hi, I love this little star. Did you happen to make a vid on making a larger star? There was a comment and answer below about having to decrease on multiple rows when expanded. I don’t think I understand that bit and would love to make a larger star for Xmas gifts. Thank you so much for sharing 😍😊☃😊😍

[@sapphiresky86]

This is one of the best tutorials I've watched. Thank you for the clear instructions and explanations. I'm going to go pick out some beads and try one out right now! :-)

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Thank you!

[@nellymaftei3727]

Thank you ! ❣Today I worked your wonderfull stars and that brought me a lot of joy ! And I felt to tell you this . 😘

[@joanneshannon7264]

Beautiful stars. Great tutorial. Keep them coming please

[@backyardwarrior7115]

This was easy. Thank you so much for sharing! These are also such great ornaments with bigger beads.

[@ashketchum6222]

This looks gorgeous, I can't wait to try it out!

[@melindalacatus5722]

Thank you for a very easy to follow star tutorial ! Have a great time, best regards from Roamania! Melinda

[@tchili1]

Thank you so much for your clear explanations and showing us exactly how this works. Am going to try it and see what happens!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Great! Happy New Year! :-)

[@cyndiholton274]

Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.

[@shirleybrock2812]

enjoyed this video, you are very good at explaining how to do the beading . love this star . I am sure going to try it Thank You

[@indigoangel258]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for star patterns and this is one of the prettiest! I finished one this evening. Looks fantastaic! Will definitely be making many more! :)

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Great! So glad to hear :-)

[@annduroj]

Thank you for the lovely star.❤

[@footnut1234]

They are really nice! Looking forward to making!

[@allisonskerl1656]

very cool. The only part I am playing around with is where you skip between two beads and there is a thread path. I tried adding a 15/0 and it looks cute will see if that works out

[@AprilCraft85]

Thank You soooo much - it's beautiful! I've just finished my first one and it was fun! Great tutorial, very clear and extremely helpful. THANK YOU again!

[@barbaragaskins3921]

Thank you so much. It is so beautiful. Talented Lady

[@edsmall6234]

I like the but once i get to the second side i get lost on row 3. I feel your not showing it good enough what bead the needle goes in next.

[@melchorapablo6800]

I love your work, thank you once again with this tutorial. Best wishes

[@jolenebelmarez2739]

Thank you for your clear tutorial..i have enjoyed learning from your videos

[@micheler1569]

Question, if you choose to add extra rows to the star would the peyote areas increase in beads also?? Your work is very beautiful. I would like to make a few for my tree this year.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Yes-you can keep following the increase cycle to make them as big as you want. Just keep adding peyote stitches to each side also. Good luck!

[@yolandaurbanomunoz1050]

Muy hermoso su proyecto, Dios le bendiga siempre, felicitaciones

[@jadivioberholzer-barrero3933]

Me encantan los vídeos aunque no hablo inglés los entiendo muy bien Gracias desde Suiza 🇨🇭 un grande saludo

[@tanyaford8458]

Thank you for sharing. I really want to make these, but what size Delica did you use?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Size 11 but you could try other sizes.

[@janetrobertshaw6487]

I wonder if these are easier to make than the hearts...

[@lavonnewashington6479]

Hi!!! These are beautiful!! I would like to know if this would work with regular seed beads? I'm unable to find or afford to order delica beads.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Why not? I’m sure this project would be fine with seed beads. Try to choose regular ones with not too much size variation. Let me know how it turns out!!

[@MsQuackyQuack]

I used size 11 toho beads. Came out great if not the same.

[@karenlautenschlager6021]

Wonderful stars. Thanks so much for tutorial. I have a question about continuing past 6 rows. If you want to make additional rows do you decrease every 3 rows? How does this work.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Yes, you would continue the decrease cycle started in the first rows....decrease, then put one bead in the decrease, then a row of regular peyote, then decrease again. Hope that helps! Post a photo if you make something like this! :-)

[@karenlautenschlager6021]

Thanks. I will post picture

[@indigoangel258]

I've gone up to 8 rows (starting with the original 2 accent/5 regular beads) and they look so fantastic! I haven't been able to stop making them! LOL!! They make such beautiful pendants! I also skip adding the 3rd 'accent' bead on the star tips until I'm actually zipping it up; that way you can keep adding more rows if you change your mind.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I love it! So glad to hear! Post a photo--I would love to see :-)

[@indigoangel258]

Where/how do I post photos?

[@renovatiojewelrybyluciela2035]

Thank you very much for the great tutorial

[@chelsearaeofsunshine7846]

How do you make the center bigger?

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Really well done tutorial. I, too, like to understand what I'm doing rather than just follow a pattern. Already at 4:40 I had an ah-h moment of understanding. I am definitely going to give this a whirl! Love the colors you used. In certain colors, red, silver, gold, lined crystal, etc., these will be gorgeous on my 2018 Christmas tree! I agree, 2-sided had more substance and looks more finished.

[@jocelyn920]

You're awesome and my inspiration for 2018!!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Love you sweetie!

[@annejenkins5771]

I am having trouble seeing when you pick up a bead sometimes. Can this be done with 11os & 8os? I don't have delicas.... Thanks... 😊

[@karennewsome572]

WOULD this work with 11/0 OR 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads???? I hope so :D

[@190944mazz]

could you possibly tell me, what size are your delica beads? no sound at the moment so am just watching your excellent tut!!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

They are size 11, although you could certainly use a different size!

[@marieg5205]

Very good video, thanks!

[@juttaott]

Thank You soooo much - it's beautiful!

[@lyljones1]

I've made 4 of the small ... just like in your video. Can you give a little instruction if we start with 9 main color beads in each section? I tried going to 9 rows but it isn't looking right so I am pulling it out. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I will see what I can do. May do a new video as I've had a lot of inquiries about this. Stay tuned.

[@updownstate]

so pretty but need to see it in the frame.

[@jeweliedee4299]

A lot of the confusion with the second layer can be avoided by starting the second layer at the first stacked herringbone location rather than where you start the second layer. Hope that helps someone.

[@sheriffoftiltover]

Okay, but what is a herringbone?

[@MsQuackyQuack]

What kind of thread are you using?

[@prosto_akkaunt]

А с хвостиком в итоге что? Мы его просто обрежем?

[@guadalupepena6525]

Hermosa!! Gracias por compartir 😊🌷

[@yogicaspi]

Gorgeous!

[@judyhoeft4462]

hi, do you know the name of the blue beads? beautiful work. thanks for the tutorial

[@SeedBeadBliss]

The blue beads are Miyuki delicas, color #006. It's one of my favorite colors--I use that one a lot!

[@judyhoeft4462]

Seed Bead Bliss thank yoy, with having to rely on the Internet for beads it's nice to have the color numbers to get started. now, how do I decide which star to do first, this one or the gold/red puffy one. thank you again

[@judyhoeft4462]

I've been having so much fun. I trusted you, and yes, it worked out! ! thank you

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I'm so glad it did! :-)

[@joybernstein3514]

Good detail Thankyou

[@shayjean7905]

Can you follow this but with pony beads??

[@ghost.in.the.archives]

yes! just made a pony bead star and it turns out almost exactly the same

[@dawnowens8946]

Note to self, don’t do your first star with colors very close together. Makes step ups very hard to see! Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial.

[@thilothamabhat2102]

Beautiful 👏🥰

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

What are the size of the Delica beads please?

[@karenavey2183]

Delicas are 11os

[@rosevt]

Thank you for this was amazing!

[@megangilder6630]

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Sure! Post them on my facebook page, Seed Bead Bliss.

[@aysekose107]

Ellerinize sağlık Çok güzel olmuş

[@krazywulf1983]

[@SeedBeadBliss]

[@BettyDuguid]

[@robinbronze9551]

I know you have several positive comments here, but I have to say, your tutorial was the most difficult for me to follow out of the many I have seen on this platform. I had to closely watch which bead the string was going into and where it came out, and where you skipped and when you stepped up. There were a few times that either your fingers or the dialog box of what you were saying was in the way or your fingers and needle were not in the video because they were too low. I can tell you the number of times I had to watch and go back 10, 20 or 30 seconds to rewatch again and again. I’ve watched videos where there was no talking that were easier to learn from. :-(
