Pick up eight gold seed beads (hereinafter referred fo as G}, leaving a 10cm tail. Form beads into a circle and tie a knot. (If your ball is smaller or bigger adjust the size of the circle accordingly.) 4 Step 2 Go through the first bead, from the knot, pick up three G, take needle through next bead on the ring, Repeat until you have gone around. You will have seven 3G loops. (If you increased/decreased the first circle you will accordingly have more/less loops.) Take the needle through the first two Gs of the first 3G loop. You have now stepped up to the next round. ae Step 3 Pick up three G. Take the needle through the second bead of the next 3G loop. Repeat until you have gone around. You will have seven 3G loops. Step up by taking the needle through the first two Gs of the first 3G loop of this round. Repeat and do not forget to step up. Step 4 Pick up five G.

Sequins and castings can also fun ond you don't even have to think or work out a the same way, if you want your serviette ring to have a full, dense look. The reason for working with two wires instead of one extremely long wire is to prevent an unmanageable tangle in the winding process (step 4). If you prefer a more spiky, wired look you do not need to complete this wire. Wire ring base Make a loop with your pliers on one end of the 0,9 mm wire. Fold the wire around the bottle, wood, pipe or whatever ‘hardware’ you can get hold of with a 5 cm diameter. Hook the other end of the wire in the first loop while the wire is still around the ‘hardware’. On this end, pull and fold back over the first loop. The two loops are interlocked and you can cut away any excess wire. Slip the circular wire base ring off the hardware. Step 4 Winding the base Wind the long strung wire around the circular base. Start at the interlocked loops — this will give it a nice hold. Wind the long beaded wire in and out of the base. Don't worry if some of the base wire is still showing at this stage. Carry on winding. Once you've completed the first circle, you can start filling in the gaps while you continue to wind. Once your first strung wire is completely wound around the base, securely hook it onto the base. Carry on winding with the second wire if you wish. Finish winding and adjust any beads that are completely out of place. 145Seasons Greatings a By ectal message Surprise that special someone in your life with one of thes: unique wire knitted and beaded cards...

Knit these 2 stitches together. You fare now left with 14 stitches. Knit 2 rows plain, Adding beads all along Next row: Decrease at both the beginning and end of the row by knitting 2 stitches together ~ 12 stitches left. Continue this pattern of knittir full rows and decreasing on the 3" row at both the beginning and end of the row, until you have 2 stitches left. Knit 2 rows on these 2 stitches. Knit the 2 stitches together —1 stitch left. Cast off and cut the wire leaving a tail of app. 10cm, Work away the beginning tail (where you cast on) by winding the wire through the knitting at least 2 times. Cut the wire tail close to the knitting, DO NOT work away the tail at the top of the tree where you finished. Use the top tail to add a star or angel to the tree. Let this lie on top of the knitting. Work away the remainder of the tail and cut off Step 3- ‘Pot? Cast on 6 stitches without using any beads. Knit 6 rows without beads. Cast off and cut the wire leaving a tail of app. 10cm.

With the tail wire, attach the pot to the body of the tree. Zigzag the wire from body to pot as if you are stitching 2 pieces of cloth together. Finish off by winding the wire at the end twice around the knitting and cut off. Step 5- Card assembly Put the completed tree on the background paper prepared in the beginning. Using the same wire as for the knitting, fix the tree to the background paper in a couple of spots. Sew it on like you would do a button. (Prick holes in the paper with a pin to get the wire through easier). Fix the background with the tree on to the border paper with double sided tape. Fix all on the card with double sided tape. Add a message on the inside of the card and if it is to be posted, take care!Step 1 - Preparation Simply string your beads on the wire while the wire is still on the reel. Do not cut a length of wire off! Step 2 - Body Follow the knitting instructions exactly as in Step Body of tree, except: in this case you do not add a star/angel at the top and can work away the tail wire when you cast off. Step 3 - Wings Use a scrap piece of board app. 10cm long. Wind wire around the board app. 20 times. Gently slip the wire of the board. Tie the loops tightly together in the middle, Cut the loops open and fan out the individual wires to get a ‘wings’ effect Tie the wings with wire to the back of the a Step 4 - Head Cut the head from paper or wire mesh. Step 5- Card assembly Put the angel body on the background paper prepared in the beginning. Be sure to leave enough space for the head and halo at the top of the body! Using the same wire as for the knitting, fix the body to the background paper in a couple of spots Sew it on like you would do a button. (Prick holes in the paper with a pin to get the wire through easier). Sew on the head above the body if you use a wire mesh head. A paper head can simply be glued on. Prick holes in the background paper where you want the halo to begin and end. String the halo beads and tie the wires at the back. Fix the background with the angel onto the border paper with double sided tape.

How to make the flat even-count peyote First determine the width of the piece you will be making, i.e. the distance from left to right. Thread the required number of seed beads plus one extra. The height of the e be determined by the number of rows you will be weaving. Step 1 Flat peyote with an even number of beads in the base row is very simple. Tie a bead (blue) to the end of your thread and go back through it once. Now pick up the number of beads needed to complete your base row, plus the first bead of the next row. Use red and blue beads alternatively to distinguish between the various rows. Now go back through the blue bead closest to the end. Pick up another red bead and go through the next blue bead and so on until you reach the end. You will notice that the red beads in the base row are pushed down as you add beads op-top of them.ain peyote st the three red beads you just added are considered one row. The base row is considered ty rows. A bit confusing, but it’s less confusing than trying to follow a row on a pattern wi it’s zig-zagging up and down, Step 2 Now fill in the spaces to form the fourth row. Pick up a blue bead and go through the first red bead in the third row. Pick up another blue bead and go through the next red bead and so on until you come to the end once more. Make as many rows as you like or need. The piece will gain in height but not in width. Weave in the end of thread as soon as your piece has reached the required size. 156Beading tip When first attempting peyote stitch you may choose foWork with cylinder beads. Their straight edges let them sit well next to each other, making the stitch Pattern easier to see. However, when moving onto ffeeform work, you will find the roundness of the seed bead will mould, shape and gel together much more easily.
