Hi guys, it's another episode of looking elegant and beautiful.
Today I will be doing a simple pearl bracelet you can easily do at home for yourself.
Materials
• Thread
• 8mm pearl beads
• 2mm crystal beads
• Hook
• Scissors
• Needle
Procedure
I wanted something different, something unique too. I'm combining two different beads together though the small one was a bit difficult at the beginning but yeah I was happy I completed it even though it took me almost 2 hours.
Stay with me as I show you how I made this elegant piece grab some books or you can always read this over and over again, I promise to make it so simplified.
Step 1
I started with putting my thread through my needle but I ended up cutting off the needle, my smallest bead couldn't pass through it and I didn't have a smaller needle. Would have been faster if I had.
I tied the end of my first thread to the end of my hook, and did the same with the second thread. Make sure it is tight enough then I cut off the excess with a scissor.
Step 2
I start with my 8mm pearl bead. I cross both my lines to the bead.
Using my left line, I put about 10 of my 2 mm crystal beads on my left line. Same with my right line, I put 10 of my 2mm crystal beads.
The bead is so small so I have to take it bit by bit and be careful enough not to lose them while trying them through my line.
Step 3
I cross both my lines to my 8 mm pearl bead. On my left line, I add one bead of my 8 mm pearl bead while on my right line I add one bead of my 8 mm pearl bead. I cross both lines again with my 8mm pearl bead forming this flower design. Make sure to tighten it so it won't be loose.
Step 4
I add 10 of my 2mm crystal beads on my left line, same with my right line, then I cross it over with my 8mm pearl bead.
Step 5
I repeat the same step by adding 10 of my 2mm crystal beads into my left line and then my right line. You can actually make it 8 or 6 depending on your choice but make sure the number you put on the left line is the same number of beads on the right line.
I kept on repeating the process over and over again since I was making it for myself. I occasionally check on my wrist to be sure I was working with my measurements. I tie the end of my line to the other end of the hook and cut off the excess neatly with a scissor.
Finally! It finished up and I was already exhausted but the good news is that I loved it. Before I began doing it, I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be beautiful and elegant and ready to be rocked any day anytime.
