Nowadays fashion magazines set new trends literally on everything: shoes, clothes, accessories, jewelry. It’s not surprising that jewelry, made of seed beads, has recently become very popular. Variety of colors, fancy forms and different textures, which you can match and mix, will turn jewelry into masterpiece. But you will be mistaken if you think that beading with seed beads is a diligent and laborious work. There are a lot of various techniques and simple methods available to create fabulous jewelry with seed beads. These items of craft work will always look unique and glamorous, and what's more important they will be made by your own hands. You will be able to create your unique jewelry, which will complete your outfit with its distinctive and glamorous design. In this tutorial you will find comprehensible schemes, used by seed bead jewelry designers in making simple and sophisticated items. We will explore these schemes on example of a particular jewelry item. You will then apply these techniques while making your own items according to your fantasy and style. You will also find photos of items and schemes with detailed instructions and explanation how to make one or another jewelry item. Further to the above, each item has full description of materials used for beading of this item. 3. Few Words About Seed Beads To make a new item you will need seed beads of particular size, thread or nylon thread, a needle, scissors, other findings (such as rings, clasps) and some other instruments. It is important to use seed beads of the sizes, described in the tutorial, for each jewelry item. Choosing the set of colors is up to you, however. Sizes and colors are often specified on the package. I advise you to use seed beads from one manufacturer, because same seed beads type made by different companies are not always of the same size. We will also need special threads and needles, designed especially for beading with seed beads. Their sizes are also specified on the package. Other instruments and equipment, which you will need for making a particular item, will be mentioned in each tutorial. You can purchase all the needed instruments and equipment at specialized beading stores. In case you either face difficulties in finding such stores near you or you just prefer to order everything you need directly from the Internet, I've got a very convenient solution for you. Instead of running around the city for finding all the required tools, I’ve provided you with an option to get all the necessary equipment directly from suppliers whom I consistently order from. This way you won’t only save your valuable time but you will also get the best prices as well as high quality tools, which is very important for our kind of job. So don’t repeat my mistakes; don’t go and buy the cheapest tools and equipment out there! It doesn’t worth it; believe me. I know exactly what I’m talking about since I went through it in the beginning of my designing career! Invest one time in quality equipment and you’ll be able to use it literally for decades over and over again. Anyway, in the end of the day, this is your choise which tools and equipment to use and where to get them from. Go for whichever option you feel is the best for you. I just give you here an alternative way, which I wish somebody could provide me with when I started. Good luck! 4. TUTORIAL 1: Earrings "Grape Clusters" You can bead these unique earrings, which resemble clusters of grape, in less than an hour (Picture 1). If you suddenly got invited to an event, but you can't choose the appropriate jewelry for your new dress, then beading these earrings will be a great idea. The technique, which will be described below, can be also used for beading a beautiful chain (Picture 2) and a bracelet. You can take any beads you like; the style and color depend on the event you will be attending. Old and outdated bead necklace may also be used. Picture 1 Picture 2
