Faberge Egg Style Beaded Beads

Again it comes under netted beading. Netted Beading is very beautiful either the technique looks like lace with fewer beads and can be made wider; or in tubular shape or beaded beads ( cluster of beads weaved together) . Very easy though it seems complicated at first sight.

Beading can test your patience but I do while watching TV or while talking with family. How much ever time it takes, finally worth the end result. 


Beaded Beads:

Beaded Beads can be earrings, pendants or as focal points to add an extra interest into your jewelry. Even you can make it as key chain, small tree ornaments . Plentiful options! Just be imaginative.. 😇

Beaded Bead Eg :

To make Beaded Beads you may use different size and shapes makes that interesting every time resulting a very unique Bead. 

For the above 👆🏼 we will Need:

supplies required

You can follow my youtube tutorial to create this one . Check it below 👇🏾 




Written Steps :

( Note that the colored dots indicates just color of beads )


1 row : 3 x4mm Rondelle Beads & 3 seed Beads alternating. Knot to secure.

2 row : Netting seed Beads only in even numbers. Netting goes around each Rondelle. For first netting it’s only on top of Rondelle. Down side no netting.
Take 3 golden seed beads 1 Blue Seed Beads 3 golden seed beads on needle.
 ( 🟡🟡🟡 🔵 🟡🟡🟡)  
Pass it through the next seed bead. Repeat 3 times. So all Rondelle got covered. 
Now bring the needle through 3 🟡seed beads and 🔵seed bead . Blue seed bead is to locate the center. 

3 rd : string one Rondelle connect with next 🔵seed bead. Take second Rondelle connect to next 🔵seed bead. Do the same for 3rd Rondelle. 

4 th : Netting. As Rondelle size (6mm) increases number of Seed beads also increases to go around Rondelle without loose thread space. 
String seed Beads 🟡🟡🟡🟡🔵🟡🟡🟡🟡 on needle. Pass through the seed bead next over Rondelle. Repeat 3 times until the row complete. Bring the needle to 🔵 blue seed bead in the center. 

5th row : take 1 each 6mm Rondelle connect with the seed bead ( 🔵) in the center. Until 3 Rondelle done .

6th -netting as earlier 🟡🟡🟡🟡🔵🟡🟡🟡🟡
7th - 6mm Rondelle again repeating previous steps.

8 th - netting. 🟡🟡🟡🔵🟡🟡🟡
9 th row - 4 mm ( smaller ) Rondelle 

10 th - Netting with 🟡🟡🔵🟡🟡
11 th - come to 🔵 seed Bead , pass the thread through all 3 blue seed beads on top twice to reinforce and knot finally. 

Every steps needs a squeeze of the thread to form the shape. No loose threads. Hope this helps.

Rather than watching, seems less complicated when we actually do it .

Another Beaded Beads Earrings
When the number of rows reduced, I got a round beaded Bead. But same steps followed, bead sizes are different. Play with the size or shapes of bead or the number of rows . You get totally different results. 

Get Creative to accessorize the beads . 

Happy Beading...

See you all soon.
Love & Regards,

Polymer clay Stud Earrings Tutorials

 Polymer Clay Studs :

Polymer clay is a versatile medium. Because of the wide variety of techniques and color ranges we can make endless designs. Studs are all time favourite. Most often people face a threat , why I called threat because it can lead to customer disatisfaction. Lot of complaints I see online like the stud post is falling off over time or during shipping . Sigh... 




Usually what we do is Super glue ( E6000 , Gorilla glue etc ) stud post on back of cured art piece of clay. It loosen up eventually. What's the solution ?
Either you should use 2 part Epoxy Resin . Cindy Lietz  was showing one old earrings that still holds up the stud .
Or you have to cover the metal post with another piece of clay and bake again. 




Watch these videos for instance :





In our second tutorial we are using the SWIRL cane slices.







Feel free to check my youtiube tutorial or previous blog post to build this basic cane.

Hope these videos help you fix the problems ..
Thank you for reading & watching
