Wow! I think I can actually make this gorgeous element!!! Thank you for sharing this. :-)
Excellent tutorial! Thanks.
Your teaching method is superior.I have wanted to get back into beading and you have inspired me to give this a try, My beads are languishing in my beading corner for a very long time. Thank you
Aww, thanks! I hope you do get out those beads--they are fun and have been a tremendous inspiration for me. :-)
Yes, definitely get those beads out. I found it's very soothing to do beading projects and it gets my creative mind going as well. Have fun!
thank you so much! It's a great explanation!
I love this design, thank you so much for sharing it. 💞💫
Lovely design.....
Excelente video
Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Quito Ecuador.
Thank u.very cute .
Love then so sparkly
OK I AGREE. KEEP IN TOUCH
This is a wonderful tutorial. Instead o faceted rounds will it work also with Crystal pearls?
I love the idea of the chain links for the connectors! What size chain do you use? Love all your designs thanks for sharing your talent with us!!
I don't have a specific size, and actually use 3-4 different ones--usually buy it in NY when I am there. I do prefer a rolo chain, however. It does make a professional finish.
Those would also make a very pretty bracelet if 5-6 of them were connected to each other.
I love these and can't wait to make them. Thanks, Leslie. Also, what color Delica did you use for the green pair? It's very pretty! Thank you.
Cindy Brook good question...I think it’s 24. If not then 27. I use those two a lot.
Thanks, Leslie. I have some 8mm Swarovski crystals out ready to give this a try as well as some 8mm cubes for Peyote. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. What do you do with the tail? and what chain do you use for the hanging element? Please let me know...I have a hard time finding the right chain to link....again thanks a lot.
I take the tail through several beads and cut it. I prefer rolo chain-I think it makes the best shape.
I did it! Thank you, Leslie. P.S. did you simply cut off the tail thread? Ty
Yes! Good for you! Post a photo on my FB page so I can see!!😀
Supercute
These are beautiful! Will try making it. I have lots of rice beads but don't know what to do with them. I'm curious about the wire/thread you use though. What are the options to use as "thread"?
I have used various threads for this, but experience shows that you want to keep things fairly stiff so the piece doesn't bend in your hand. A monofilament is probably best, but a doubled thread will also work.
Beautiful! What is the size of the links of chain you use?
Hi Leslie!! I made one of your earrings last night and I love it! Could you tell me where do I find those little chain link pieces that you add at the end to attach to the earring component? I’ve been looking and can’t find them. Thank you! Joyfully, Valerie
Hi Valerie! I buy chain and cut it to have closed links. My favorite type is rolo chain, but any round links will do. Good luck!
Seed Bead Bliss thank you! I’m new to this but loving it and your video was spot on perfect!!
Fantastic! Beautiful! One question: the 8mm pearl Swarosvky what type is it? Swarosky 5000?
Yes, it looks like that is the number, 5000
BEUTIFUL DESIGN. I THINK THAT IS POSIBLE TO DO IT WITH 24 OR 26 GAUGE COPPER OR SILVER WIRE
Hi! If you do it with wire, let me know! I do not work with wire at all.
Would this design work with Rondelles in place of the bicones? Or a combination or bicones and rondelles?
Why not? You will know right away when you start brick stitching them in whether they will fit in or not. And you can always adjust the spacing to create a slightly different shape if needed. Good luck!
One question though, where can I find the finding you use?
Hi, is beautifull... But, i don have celicas... Can i use seed beads?
You can use seed beads for sure! I'm not sure how many it will take to go around an 8mm bead--you will just have to see and divide the bicones up from there. Good luck!
Thank you. I let you know jow they come
Hi Leslie, what size Delica beads?
11/0 delica seed beads
11/0 delicts! I rarely use the other sizes.
