These rings are pretty, surprisingly quick to make, and a great way to learn peyote beadwork stitch if you’ve never tried it before. There’s no bead loom or other specialty gear involved here. Just some beads, a needle and thread. Materials and Equipment: - Delica Glass Seed Beads – Delicas are perfect little cylinders and lack the rounded edge that other kinds of seed beads have. You can use any size 11 or smaller seed bead for this, but I like the Delicas for the crisp finish they give. - Beading Needles – My all time favorites are John James size 12 needles.
Whatever you get, make sure they’re thin and buy a few, they’re fragile and you’ll probably break one. - Beading Thread – This is a brand called Nymo, and the size is OO. If you’re working at a table you’re good to just pour out beads like this, but if you’re working on a lap tray it’s wise to keep your beads in some small, shallow bowls or a similar container. Temporarily use one of your beads as a “knot.” Bonus tip! DIY Micro Macrame Rhinestone Bracelet. I’m loving working with micro macrame so much that I’ve been coming up with some new designs.
My latest favorite uses Chinese knotting cord and rhinestone chains. It’s really easy to do. To get started, see my tutorial on micro macrame beaded bracelets here. For this project, you will need only the knotting cord, tape, a button, and a length of rhinestone chain (I used a very small stone and cut 3″ of it). Depending on how big you want your bracelet, you can get larger cord and larger rhinestone chain. Begin the bracelet as you do in my other tutorial, making knots until you’ve reached about 1 1/2″. Once you’ve got a length of knotting, you will start adding your chain. Here’s what your beginning knotting should look like: To add the chain, begin the first part of the square knot, but don’t tighten it. Now, place your chain on top of the bracelet. The trickiest part is tightening this knot. It’s really not all that hard. Tighten up this completion of the knot. Share! The DIY: FASTEST FRIENDSHIP BRACELET EVER.
