The Beaded Week 74

The Beaded Week 74

Not really a weekly post anymore is it? Being a mother takes up most of my time now but I try to get a little beading, or other crafting, done while she takes a nap. She is napping right now which allows me to write this little update.

Following the tutorial on Beadshop.com I’ve made these macrame wrap-bracelets. All available in my Etsy shop.

  I also made this bracelet for myself.

The large macrame bracelet I mentioned in the last post is finished. I don’t have a complete clasp for it yet though. I’m very happy with it. It looks great even though there is one small mistake in it. But you’d have to look real close to even see it.

The design is from CSLdesigns. I think her name is Christina. She is very talented and a great teacher. She does a mix of wirework, kumihimo and micro macrame. The tutorial for this design can be found here.

I liked this design so much I made another smaller bracelet in red.

I made this Russian Spiral rope following this video tutorial from Beadaholiqe. I like the design but I have a feeling this will break quite easily. The bugle beads have sharp edges and even though I used thick Fireline to stitch this rope I think that if used for a bracelet, the bugles will eventually cut through the thread.

All of the these micro macrame pieces are from the tutorials of Artemanual on YouTube. This channel is (I think) in Spanish but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I used his tutorial to make my owl earrings a while back. Click on the pictures to get a better look.

I made this, would be earring, but I didn’t like it so I never made another one. I found this tutorial on Pinterest, linking to this.

Macrame School has a great macrame channel on YouTube. I made this little heart following their tutorial which you can find here.

I used chinese knotting cord for this one.

I made this little starfish, just because. I don’t know where I got this from. I snapped a picture of this before I started this blog and I don’t remember where I saw it so I can’t give you a link to the tutorial. I looked at the picture and figured out how to make one, pretty much. So the design is not mine but I made this little guy in the picture right here.

And finally, this is the Tapestry bracelet, a new design from beadshop.com. I still don’t have a clasp for this one but I think it looks very nice.

In other news, a ice-cream shop just opened up across the street. Oh boy!

And that’s all for now. Thanks for reading! ♥

This fun project created by designer Brittany Ketcham, is tailored for the budding beader with limited laddering experience, but any designer can appreciate the ease and instant gratification of this design. This project can be done in a variety of colors and it's no secret you can use almost any combination of colors to make a stunning set of bracelets. Watch the video and set aside weekend to play.
