Hello, my dearest DIY friends, it's been a while since I shared my beadwork. Life has been like a whirlwind over here, in a good way, don't worry. And I'm happy to share this latest work of mine with you today; please come along, and I hope you love it.
A client of mine needed a white pearl flower vase, and here is the step-by-step of the whole process.
Materials used: I used 178 pieces of size 14 white pearl beads, 0.6 fishing line, and a pair of scissors.
Step 1:
I started by putting 6 beads on a 200 cm fishing line, tying the knots, and pushing the knots inside one of the beads to make the work neat.
Step 2:
I put 4 beads on my left fishing line and then crossed both sides with a fourth bead.
Step 3:
I continue to let my right fishing line through the next bead, then add three beads until I get to the last bead on this line.
Step 4:
This is the last step on this line. I let my right fishing line through the next two beads and then put one bead in my left fishing line and tied the knots. To secure the work, I had to tie knots at the end of each line.
Step 5:
I let my two fishing lines crisscross one of the first six beads. Then put four beads on the left fishing line and cross both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 6:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third fishing line.
Step 7:
I repeated step 6 above twice, and on the next step, I let my right fishing line through the next two beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and then tied knots to secure the work.
Step 8:
Before I start any step, I always make sure to pull the knots inside the closest bead to avoid them being visible. Then I went ahead to add five beads on the left fishing line and then crossed both lines with the fifth bead.
Step 9:
I continue to add four beads except for the last one, where I added three beads.
Step 10:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put four beads on the right fishing line, and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 11:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 12:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 13:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 14:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left side, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 15:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 16:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 17:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 18:
To finish up with this line, I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 19:
To start a new row, I put my right fishing line through the next bead, put four beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 20:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 21:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 22:
I continue to repeat step 22 above until at last I get to the three beads on the row.
Step 23:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 24:
I make sure the knot is well hidden in the closest bead. I pass my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and cross both sides with the third bead. Again I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 25:
I again passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 26:
I continued to repeat step 25 above until I got to the last part of the row, where I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 27:
To start a new row, I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 28:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 29:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 30:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 31:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 32:
To end this row, I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
This is how it's looking. I will just go ahead and create the bottom of the vase.
Step 33:
I positioned both my fishing lines on one of the six beads at the top.
Step 34:
I added four beads to the left fishing line and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 35:
I passed the right fishing line through the next bead.
Step 36:
I added three beads on the left fishing line and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step:37
I passed my right fishing line through the two next beads.
Step 38:
I added two beads on the left fishing line and then tied the knots. I passed my fishing lines around this row one more time, tied the knots, and trimmed off the excess fishing lines.
Just before making the bottom of the vase, I think it's cute as well.
The end🥰
