The Bebeaded Story « the z-beads blog February 17, 2010 by zbeads Bebeadeds! In about 2001, I started messing around with beaded beads – seed beads stitched onto round wooden beads (which I call Bebeadeds, because, you know, I have to have a “clever” name for everything I make.) I got the idea from a necklace in one of Sybille Jargstorf’s Bohemian Glass books. spiral brickstitch bebeadeds: 2001 - 2002 Next was peyote stitch. flat circular peyote - 2002 Once I started selling my lampwork, I had much less time on my hands for seed beading. It took me a little while to figure out how and when to decrease, and had to re-learn the difference between Czech and Japanese seed beads. Anyway, I think the whole family thought I was crazy to be spending so much time and effort on seed beads when the lampwork was so much more interesting and lucrative. bebeaded cherry-berry: July 2008 And combined with some of my !

Leather + Cut Metal Necklace Try This: Leather + Cut Metal Necklace Not only is this little guy super easy to make, he might just be one of my favorite projects that I've created lately. Materials: 2 - 24" Leather Laces, 7 Metal Shapes, 6 large Jump Rings, PliersWithout any particular project in mind, I ordered these cut metal triangles from Etsy seller Geometric Land. Begin by folding one of your leather laces in half and creating a girth hitch knot (yes, I Googled that) through one of the shapes. Repeat the girth hitch knot with the other lace and one of the other metal shapes. Join the remaining metal shapes with the jump rings, separating and rejoining the rings with a set of pliers -- one in each hand. Join the string of shapes with each of the other pieces using jump rings, as shown. Close the necklace by overlapping the leather laces and tying each pair of laces to the other pair with an overhand knot (yes, I Googled that too). And that's it. find me elsewhere
{DIY} How to make your own Eye Pins - Typical House Cat by mskristiina on April 6, 2012 I’ve been on the hunt for a good source for long eye pins. I’ve heard from a couple of you who aren’t able to find them long enough to wear the rings in my tutorial on anything but your tiny pinky finger. Luckily, I attended a beading class last Saturday with my sister at The Beaded Puma* and learned how to make eye pins myself. Honestly, it is so easy. You will need the regular beading tools: Needle-nose pliersRound-nose pliersWire cuttersWirePaper scrapSome sort of writing utensil First, you need to decide the size you want. Then mark a little further up to mark the circumference of the eye you are making, cut it off at the end. Once you have that done, cut a piece of wire as long as your guide. Next, holding it in your left hand, take your needle-nose pliers in your right hand and bend the top towards you where your dot was on your guide. Next, take your round-nose pliers and hold the tip next to the bent portion of the wire to measure it. Voila! xx ks
Adding Patina to Copper and Brass: How to Make Your Alternative Metal Designs Pop Oh, the things you can do to copper! Many folks love the warm hue of the metal as it is (me included), but it's also the metal master of disguise in the gorgeous patinas it so easily takes on.

Baldwin's Patina If you design a piece of jewelry that has silver and copper both or copper with other metals in it and you want to add patina, try Baldwin's Patina, a solution that colors copper without affecting nickel silver, sterling silver, or gold alloys.

DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet We’re nuts for nuts. Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!! (top image from here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF)
Dawn Blair's Jewelry and Eclectica Blog Because so many have asked. *For your very first weaving, I suggest you use a very large gauge wire that will be stiff and easy to handle for your two base wires. Here I have used 10 gauge aluminum. I have chosen 24 gauge aqua color enamel coated copper wire so you can easily see the process. * The direction of the wire when weaving on two wires will be, from the outside, over the top, through the middle, under the back, coming back to the outside, then around the outside and over the top, through the inside and ACROSS to the back of the 2nd wire, around the outside, over the top of wire 2, through the middle, around the outside of wire 2 again, through the middle and ACROSS the back of wire 1, and so on.... * You may want to use a piece of blue painters tape to hold the two main wires in place when you first start the weaving. * Starting the weaving near the ends of the wire gives you more control from the very beginning. * I do all my weaving exclusively with my fingers, not tools.
