I made this lovely wrist bead for myself, I have been making jewelry for others and I feel like appreciating myself by making this lovely bead for myself.
One of my clients contacted me that she needed a necklace then I went to the market and got some of the materials I would be using for the necklace when I saw these lovely beads and I feel this would make a lot of sense if I get it and turn it to something nice for myself.
This type of bead is called the sand bead, it is very tiny maybe that is why it is called sand bead, it is very lovely for waist beads and also ankle chains.
I have this bead left over from the waist bead I did for my friend, so I decided to use the two I also got a hooker because I used the normal fishing line for the bead, not the elastic one, which is why I used a hook for it.
This wrist bead took a toll on me because it is not like other beads have been doing, firstly it is so stressful because of the shape and size of the beads, it is very tiny and I took a lot of time and patience before getting to this stage.
INSTRUMENTS USED
Sand beads gold color
Hook
Stopper
Fishing Line
Presser
For the wrist bead, I used two types of beads and also two colors, I never planned for this type of bead, I have something else in mind to do but I just feel like this will be awesome and I need to change the pattern.
Jewelry is all about creativity, it depends on how you can add things together to bring out the beauty, and it will always be advantageous to your work.
I started by putting the long size of bead first and put in my fishing line, I had already cut out my fishing line because I knew the size of my hand.
I put in the long bead then interchange the fishing line, I mean crossing the fishing line and making it strong before adding the other beads into it, I added 10 of those tiny beads on both sides.
I continued doing that, counting 10 beads at the right side and another 10 at the left side then use the other type of bead to demarcate it at the middle, then continue till I finish this process.
After getting the exact size of my wrist then I inserted my stopper and use my presser to press it down in other for the beads not to remove then join my hook with the fishing line then clipped them together, this is more easier when using the hook, it is very easy to make just that the beads are too tiny but the outcome came out nice and looks so beautiful
This is the final result.
