Basic Right Angle Weave One of the most versatile and useful bead weaving stitches ever created is right angle weave. Developed by David Chatt, it is a single needle variation of cross-weave. Using a figure eight stitching pattern, groups of beads are gathered together to form shared rows that can be increased and embellished in every direction with ease. The unique shape of a basic right angle weave unit allows for endless possibilities in three-dimensional beadwork. The simplest form of RAW is the four bead unit, stitched in flat rows. To make a basic strip of flat right angle weave: On a comfortable length of thread, use a stop bead to mark a six inch tail. Pick up 4 seed beads, and slide them down the thread, just before the stop bead. Pass back through the first 3 beads again, and pull tight to form a cluster. Pick up 3 seed beads. Your working thread should now be parallel with your stop bead. Pick up 3 seed beads, and stitch through the same bead that your thread is exiting.

Double Row Flat Spiral Stitch Bracelet Tutorial | MyAmari How to Bead a Flat Spiral Stitch Bracelet Part 2-Double Row Downloadable PDF now available! (You will need to have a free account on Craftsy.com) I guess this would be considered Part 2 of my original Flat Spiral Stitch blog which covered the details of the basic single row. -About 84 of 4 mm Czech Fire-Polished glass beads. 4 mm pearls or bi cone crystals work too, but please keep in mind the bracelet will look a little different. -5 grams of sized 15 seed beads -Size 12 or 13 beading needle. Couple of notes about this project: -Knowledge of half hitch knots will be helpful ( I have included links)-There is a front and back to this, so make sure you keep the front side on the front. If you need a smaller or bigger size, here’s how to calculate: 1 inch equals to 6 of the 4mm Fire polished beads. For an 8 inch bracelet-8 inches times 6 beads is 48 of the 4mm, double that is 96 for the 3mm. Let’s get started! I am briefly going over the Single Row. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Shala's Graph Paper As you may have noticed, I changed the format of the graph paper. A lot of it was made many years ago, and wasn't what I'm currently using. I added the © Shala Kerrigan border because of abuse. Not by the bead community. My terms are still the same, use it as you wish, except for distributing the blank graph paper without permission. I don't honestly recall a time when I told someone no who wanted it for a newsletter or class. The reason for the borders is because some people have been remote linking things on my site. Have a Kindle? Patterns graphed on my paper *can* be sold. The handflower pattern was a quick pattern I posted a long time ago. The triangle weave is for bicones. Some peoples asked me about the embellished right angle weave,It's one of my favorite stitches for fast, pretty pouches, it can be done funky or delicate, Just do normal 3 bead per side right angle weave in size 11 beads, then weave in the cross stitches

Pea Pod Stitch I’m always on the lookout for quick ways to string beads simply, while adding the extra security of small stitches. Daisy chain and variations of it are a personal favorite, but doing the same old thing can get a little dull after awhile. This simple looped embellishment, which I like to call pea pod stitch, adds a lot of security to a simple strand of beads, and works up very quickly. The very first project I tested the technique on featured 3-bead clusters and a pretty green palette. The curvy loops of seed beads that surround the bead clusters looked just like protective pea pods. You can work this stitch with a single thread for short strands, so long as there are places to turn the thread around at each end. To weave pea pod embellishments: String your beads in the desired pattern, including sections with: seven 11/o seed beads, one 8/o seed bead, one small accent bead, one 8/o seed bead, and seven 11/o seed beads. What’s your favorite quick and easy chain technique?

4 Ways to Finish Flat Peyote Stitch 4 Ways to Finish Flat Peyote Stitch One of the most common questions I receive (other than “What’s for dinner?”) is “How do I finish a flat peyote-stitched bracelet so I can wear it?” As with most beadwork projects, there are a hundred ways to skin this potato, and those are only limited by your imagination. In her book Findings and Finishings the ever-resourceful Sharon Bateman shows several innovative ways to finish flat bracelets, including a couple wonderful stitched clasp versions and a third which involves a wireworked finding that’s surprisingly straightforward to make. Handmade finishings are wonderful, but there are times when a commercial finding is just the thing, too. to finish flat peyote-stitched bracelets with store-bought findings: 1. 2. 3. 4. Placing a pretty button at one end of your beadwork and stitching a loop at the other end is a great way to turn a strip of peyote stitch into a unique piece of jewelry. Do you have some tips for finishing flat beadwork?

My Favorite Hassle-free Brick Stitch Start I love using brick stitch for designing beaded jewelry, but I'm less than thrilled with the sometimes sloppy feel of beginning my brick stitch projects with ladder stitch. Unless I'm using cylinder beads for my first row, I always feel as though my brick stitch base made with ladder stitch just looks...well, messy with all the threads showing. So when I was teaching myself how to make a caduceus chain with instructions from Diane Fitzgerald, I realized that I could use it to form the first two rows of a piece of brick stitch! The basic technique is just a 2-bead peyote stitch strip, but the resulting first two rows provide a nice, solid foundation for me to continue stitching in brick stitch. Give it a try and see what you think! Want to explore more brick stitch beading projects? What's your favorite way to use brick stitch? Bead Happy, Jennifer

How to Make Bead Woven Clasp Tutorials Sure you can buy toggle clasps, but if you are a beader, why not bead weave a custom one to match your bracelet or even necklace design. Here are some of my favorites, starting with a basic brick and peyote stitch video tutorial the Beadaholique. They have great tutorials and instructors. The Potomac Seed Company's video tutorial is different in that both sides of the clasp is accomplished with just peyote stitch. Not a fan of video tutorials? This wonderful tutorial by Penelope over on Modern Minerals does away with the bar and emphasizes a button like focal. If you are an experienced beader, then check out the toggle variations from the free downloadable PDF from les trésors d'ilde's.
