Beadschool Tutorial: Techniques - Spiral Staircase
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this video tutorial I demonstrate Spiral Staircase stitch. This is one of the most beloved of beadwork stitches for many reasons. It's so easy, fun and versatile, and the resulting effect is delightfully satisfying. Once you've had a go at this you'll be reaching for your stash to experiment with colour combinations and different sizes and shapes of beads, and even varying the numbers that you pick up!
Make a short length for a bracelet or lengthen it for a necklace - what could be simpler? What''s more, you don't have to leave it as a simple rope; a Spiral Staircase rope will complement a beaded pendant beautifully. I guarantee you'll be addicted to this technique in no time!
If you leave a good length of tail thread, say 20cm/8", you can use that to connect a clasp component for a bracelet or necklace.
In this video I'm wearing:
