Step-by-step visual photos of weaving:
1. We string beads onto a fishing line approximately 65-70cm long; in total we need 12 identical threads with beads. The necklace will be 45-50 cm (including clasps).
2. Divide 12 threads into 4 parts of 3 threads each and begin to weave a “Pigtail”.
3. We start with the outermost beam, go over the next one, then under and over again (see photo 3 above).
4. Then we take the next beam and also pass over the next beam, then under it and turn around. Repeat braiding until you run out of threads.
5. Fastening fasteners. After weaving, we tie several strong knots so that the necklace does not unravel, we cut off all the fishing lines except one, we need it to attach the lock.
6. We string a cap through the fishing line (to cover our knots), thread it through the clasp, make a knot on the clasp and return it back to the cap. We pass it through several beads on the necklace and tie 2-3 knots.
One of the most beautiful necklaces is a necklace. It makes any outfit look festive and elegant. Jewelry made from precious metals and stones looks great. Incredibly beautiful and charming beaded necklaces will be a worthy replacement for such jewelry. There are a lot of design options, colors and weaving techniques. They look elegant and sophisticated. How to make a beaded necklace is described in this article. With its help, every needlewoman will be able to weave a charming decoration for herself.
Simple weaving option
It will be quite easy to make a beautiful necklace using one of the simple weaving methods. A braid is very easy to do. Even a beginner can weave it. These necklaces are interesting and suitable as an everyday addition to your wardrobe. For beginning needlewomen, this type of beadwork is perfect.
A master class with step-by-step photos and descriptions will help you weave an unusual braid. This necklace looks very stylish and will suit any outfit.
The braid will be two-color, so we choose two colors of beads. You can string the beads on a fishing line or on a special waxed thread. It is convenient to string with a beading needle.
For ease of weaving, you should use tape and fix it with special pins with heads.
The clasp will consist of two rings, two conical caps and a carabiner. To attach the fastener you will need transparent glue and pliers. You also need to prepare scissors.
We measure twelve threads at 75 cm. We string beads on them, six strands of each of two colors.
We lay out the colors, alternating three threads of different colors. We attach the bases of the threads to the surface of the table with tape and begin weaving.
We place the rightmost three threads of one color on top of three threads of another color. Then we pass them under three threads of the same color and put them on top of a group of threads of a different color. Now we do the same with the leftmost three lows.
In this way we braid the braid to the desired length of the necklace.
Now you need to tie all the threads in a knot very tightly. As the groups are low, so are everyone together. If the beads are not left on the ends of the threads, then remove them and cut the threads evenly.
Apply glue to the ends of the threads and insert them into the cones. There should be enough glue so that the caps are well fixed. Let the glue dry until the threads are securely glued to them.
A wonderful necklace is ready.
Necklace made of rope
Beautiful decorations are made from a rope. Bright and delicate strands can complement your everyday wardrobe. Such necklaces look great either as a simple braid or as a braid-shaped necklace made from it.
The infinity necklace made from rope looks incredibly stylish and original. Both the usual weave of strands and the more ornate ones look beautiful.
Making a crochet tourniquet is quite difficult. This work is painstaking and requires attention and time, but the result is worth the effort. For knitting you will need thin threads and a hook. It is better to learn using multi-colored beads.
Beads are strung on a thread in the sequence shown in the diagram. They begin to weave a tourniquet with air loops. The simplest option will consist of six loops. After each loop we move a bead. After knitting all six loops, we connect them into a ring as shown in the photo.
We knit the next row according to the same pattern. We pass the hook between the beads and grab the thread. Pull the thread and make a loop. We move the bead to this loop. We do the same with the next loops.
We knit all the rows in the same way.
To understand the sequence of stringing beads, you need to learn to read diagrams. Let's look at three different schemes as an example. The number of beads is indicated at the top. There are six in the first diagram, fifteen in the second, and twenty-five in the third.
The set of beads per thread is indicated in the right column. The number of beads is indicated next to each color. The more complex the pattern, the greater the number of columns. Each column indicates the required quantity and order of stringing beads to knit one stitch.
The tourniquet can be made without fasteners. To make it continuous, you need to learn how to sew its edges. The picture shows very clearly how to do this.
For a beautiful, neat pattern, you need to start and end the harness with fully knitted pattern reports. Then the drawing will be continuous.
Bright ornament
Necklaces woven in Ukrainian style are very bright and beautiful. These necklaces will add color to your look. This detail will attract attention with its beauty and richness of color.
Such wonderful necklaces can be woven not only with a rope, but also using other techniques. And if you add bright red flowers made of foamiran and felt, then such a wonderful decoration will have no equal in beauty.
Magnificent decorations are obtained with the image of a winter ornament. Shiny sparkling necklaces with snowflakes and bullfinches look elegant and are perfect for winter outfits.
For special occasions
Openwork and delicate necklaces are obtained by weaving using the wave technique. This decoration will look great with evening dresses. The weaving method allows you to create waves not only from beads, but also from glass beads.
The weaving pattern in the photo below will help you make waves from beads.
Necklaces woven using the zigzag technique look incredible. Weaving such a decoration is not very difficult. With the right combination of bead colors and adding different beads and stones, the necklace will turn out very beautiful.
Bead weaving is not just a craft, but an art and a science at the same time. It is not easy for a beginner to master some techniques for working with this material. At the same time, beaded jewelry is one of the most spectacular, expressive, and invariably eye-catching.
Today we will make a bracelet from beads and beautiful accessories for jewelry. To create it, you don’t need to painstakingly assemble the product one bead at a time over several evenings. We will simply string the threads and then weave them in different ways. The result will pleasantly surprise you!
Let’s take the most “eternal” theme - the sea... What could be more beautiful than blue waves playing in the bright sun, fresh splashes of crystal water, white surf! We will put all this together when we come up with our bracelet. The sea is changeable and multifaceted, and the shades of colors that it gives us are endless. The main thing in this decoration is the play of color.
For work, let's take not just different shades of beads - let them also be of different sizes, shapes, textures and shine. In total, we will need about a dozen different varieties, which in total make up the mother-of-pearl blue color scheme of the future bracelet. You can also add a thread of light golden color - it will remind you of how cheerful reflections of the sun dance across the waves. The fittings for this decoration need, of course, silver.
Let's start creating!
From jewelry accessories we will need:
- beads 7-12 different varieties, a little of each, approximately 3-6 grams;
- 6 small faceted transparent glass beads;
- nylon monofilament;
- clasp for bracelet;
- 6 small cone hats;
- 6 calottes;
- 2 rings with a diameter of 5 mm (all accessories, remember, are silver);
- bead needle;
- second glue;
- sharp small scissors;
- round nose pliers.
Stages of work.
In order to weave a bracelet, we first string the beads onto separate pieces of thread. Don't forget to leave 5-7 centimeters of free ends on both sides. The length of the beaded strings should be about a quarter longer than the length of the future product, because they will then be woven into a braid or twisted and become shorter due to the bends. In total, you need to make 15 of them, all of the same length.
We tie the first bead with a loop of thread so that it does not slip.
What is good about monofilament is that despite its thinness, it is very strong and flexible, and even with a simple bend it holds the shape that was given to it and does not allow either the needle or the bead to slip off. Fishing line, which is often used by many needlewomen, in this sense is very different in properties, although it looks almost the same. Working with monofilament is immeasurably easier.
Having strung the beads to the required length, we make a loop again, this time around the last bead. We press it close to the neighboring ones. There is no need to tie strong knots yet - this is a temporary fastening, and it will be easy to remove it if you need to add or remove a little beads on some thread during the final assembly of the bracelet.
Now we very carefully collect the ends of the 5 finished threads together - so that all the first beads are on the same level. You can grab the bunch with an elastic band so that they don’t move or fall.
Thread the free parts of the threads into the hole of the cone cap so that all five ends with the outer beads fit tightly into it. If its diameter is not enough or, on the contrary, it is too large, then for models such as in the photo, you can slightly press the “petals” to the sides or inward using pliers.
Next, put on a small faceted glass bead and thread the tails of the threads into the hole of the calotte. Tie them into a tight knot so that the base of the calotte fits closely to the bead (and that to the cone) and does not dangle. To prevent a bundle of threads with a knot from accidentally slipping back, you can include a small bead in it by placing it on one of the threads.
Fill the knot with glue. Once dry, trim off any excess ends and pinch the calotte with pliers. Process the second end of the bundle of threads in the same way, and then make two more similar pieces from the remaining 10 threads.
We thread the calotte ears from all three blanks into a ring and put a loop of one of the parts of the clasp there. We clamp the ring with round pliers.
Now we begin to braid the beaded braid (or twist it, or both). The final appearance of the product will depend on the method you choose (or come up with your own?). We will show several options in the photo.
Hello, needlewomen!
Today I will show you how to make a wide bracelet - a braid from beads. But this will not be a simple braided braid, but a braid set on a base.
This way the bracelet will not stretch, but will keep its shape.
I rate the difficulty of the master class at 3 points out of 5. This is an average master class that will be useful for beginners and will be of interest to professionals.
In the master class I will tell you:
- What materials are needed to create such a bracelet?
- How to make a braid bracelet from start to finish.
So, let's go!
Materials for work:
- Czech beads No. 10 (three shades). I took three colors (coral, pink and light orange).
- Japanese cubic beads 3 mm (two colors).
- Round agate beads.
- Bicones to match the beads.
- Nylon thread or thin fishing line.
- Beading needle.
- Base (I have felt 1 mm thick).
- Eco-leather (it will be needed for the reverse side).
That's all! Now let's start working.
Step 1.
First, let's draw a sketch of the bracelet. If you are used to working without a sketch, composing on the go, then this is your right.
I like to draw sketches, it gives you a better idea of what the end result will be and what you want.
By the way, if you have not yet read the article on how to draw sketches of works correctly, then read Sketches of Jewelry. How to draw and how to apply. I share my experience.
Step 2.
We measure the dimensions of the bracelet based on it. My bracelet is 15 cm long and 4 cm wide.
Let's round the edges a little so that the bracelet isn't square.
Step 3.
Let's start shaping the edges of the bracelet. To do this, we sew three rows of beads of different colors on each side. As shown in the photo.
It turns out like this.
We do the same on the other side of the bracelet only with a different color of beads.
Step 4.
Divide the base into three parts (along the long side). And let's start creating a braid.
To do this, we pass the needle and thread from the inside out, from one edge of the bracelet. And we will begin to collect beads and beads mixed together, observing the color gradient.
Approximately selecting each color of beads so that there are three parts.
The braid will consist of three strands, each with 5 threads. String the beads not exactly to the size of the bracelet, but a little larger (4-5 cm). We're going to braid our hair.
It turns out like this.
To make it easier to braid, I sealed the ends of the strands with adhesive tape.
Step 5.
Now we braid the braid. In order for it to turn out smooth and not “walk”, we use a needle to secure the edge of the bracelet to felt or another base.
Step 6.
We begin to weave the braid in the usual way and stitch the ends of each thread through the warps.
This is what happens.
To prevent the braid from dangling when worn, we sew each (or every other) thread to the base.
On a note!
You should not tighten the thread too much so that the braid does not “move out”.
Step 7
Now let's close the inside out.
Cut the cardboard to the size of the bracelet and glue it to the bracelet. This is necessary so that the bracelet is not loose.
Then we will measure the eco-leather according to the size of the bracelet and glue it to the cardboard.
All that remains is to process the edge of the bracelet.
You can see how to do this in a detailed master class on processing the edge of a product. How to process the edge of a product using the bead embroidery technique. Step-by-step master class.
This is the wrong side.
That's all. The beaded bracelet is ready!
We put it on and wear it. This bracelet will look great with both casual wear and an evening dress.

I decided to please my little daughter with a bright bracelet. For this I chose a very simple scheme, where the most difficult thing is choosing the right color.
To weave the bracelet I needed:
— Czech Alabaster beads No. 10 in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink colors
— Colorless monofilament 0.1 mm
— Bead for clasp
— Two needles No. 12
- Scissors

We need to weave 3 chains of rings. I wove them in two needles, stringing beads simultaneously on 2 ends of 8 beads each and crossing the ends of the threads in the last 9th bead. To make your bracelet rainbow, you must strictly follow the sequence of colors in each ring.
For your convenience, I assigned each color a serial number and wove three different chains with a certain alternation. Now you need to intertwine the chains with each other, weaving them one into another. In photo 1, I numbered each chain so that it was clear how to start weaving.
In order for you to get such a braid, it is important that the first chain always goes from below (Fig. 4), into which the second chain is pulled, and after it the third. For example, look at photo 1, the red ring of the first chain came out, then we stretch the third chain through the lower green one, and we pull the second chain through the lower yellow ring and green, so we get what is in photo 2, the first chain is at the very top .
And so on until the very end, pull the upper chains into the lower ring of the chain below them. Practice a few times and you will succeed. At the end we attach a bead for the clasp, and the last loop on the other side of the bracelet will serve as the second half of the clasp.
That's all, the bracelet is ready. My daughter really liked it!
