Introduction

Seed beads are one of the most versatile and beautiful materials for jewelry. They come in so many colors, shapes, and sizes that you can find every color you want to use in your project! In this post, we’ll show you how to make seed bead bracelets, necklaces, earrings and more.

Beaded Netting

You can use netting as a simple stitch to create necklaces, bracelets and earrings. For example:

  • Make a necklace with a threaded needle and two strands of embroidery floss.
  • Combine the netting stitch with other stitches to make an interesting design on your project.

You can also use this stitch to make a beaded purse or bag by following these steps:

  • Cut out two pieces of fabric in the shape of rectangles that are twice as wide as they are tall (for instance, cut out pieces that measure 2 inches by 4 inches). Then sew them together at one side lengthwise and turn it right-side out so that you have one long rectangle made of two shorter ones sewn together at one end. Now fill with your choice of material for the inside (fabric scraps will work well) before continuing on to step 2 below.)
  • Slide one bead down into each corner hole along both sides until all four corners have been added; then finish off by tying off each end securely using another piece of thread or yarn so there aren’t any loose ends sticking out.

Beaded Herringbone

Beaded Herringbone is a simple weaving technique that can be used to make beautiful jewelry. It works well with other beading techniques, including Peyote stitch, brick stitch and half-peyote stitch.

This pattern uses a variation on brick stitch called “loop over” brick stitch. This means that the beads are added in pairs: one bead at the beginning of each row and one bead at the end of each row without passing through any previous beads in that row. The finished piece looks like it has alternating rows of bumpy herringbone and smooth herringbone sections or chevrons (depending on how you look at it).

Beaded Ladders

The first way to use your seed beads is to make a beaded ladder. A beaded ladder is made by stringing a number of seed beads onto the end of a long piece of thread or wire. You then use the needle and thread to sew through the beads in order, creating an attractive pattern.

This type of jewelry project can be very simple or more elaborate depending on how many rows you want to add and how large each bead is. If you are using large beads like 8mm (5/16 inch), then it will take longer for them to fit into your design; however, if you are using smaller ones such as 4mm (1/8 inch), then making something intricate will not take much time at all!

Beaded Loops

Beaded Loops are great for beginners, because they don’t require any specialized tools or skills. The only things you’ll need are a needle, thread and some seed beads (any type will do). These loops can be made with either symmetrical or asymmetrical patterns. To start, you’ll want to string the beads on your thread in a pattern that works for you. You might want to use three different colors as shown in the photo—or go crazy and make 10 different ones! It’s totally up to you; just make sure that your pattern is even so it looks nice when finished. Once your beads are strung on the thread, tie off one end by making a knot around itself (or use something like this tool). Now take off all of your beads except for one single bead at each end of your looped piece: This will act as an anchor so we don’t lose any beads while we weave through them later on down below before finishing our design off with another knot at each end in order keep everything secure.”

Beaded Seed Stitch

Seed stitch is a beading technique that creates a woven look using seed beads. It’s perfect for bracelets and necklaces, as well as rings. You can use one color or multiple colors of beads to create your own unique piece. It’s really simple to learn, so let’s get started!

Step 1: Create an even number of rows with alternating colors (2 rows of one color, then 2 rows of another color).

Step 2: Tie off the last row by threading the tail end through a few seed beads and pulling tightly until secure. Repeat on all sides until done!

Beaded Daisies

Beaded Daisies

Materials:

  • Seed beads, any color and size you like (I used 6/0 seed beads in black, white and light blue)
  • A sewing needle or beading needle to string the beads with

Tools:

  • Scissors or some other method for cutting thread/string into shorter pieces. I’m using my own supply of embroidery scissors but paper cutter would also work well. You could also use a small pair of craft scissors if you want to be careful about not snipping the thread too short!
  • Threading tool or chopstick – this can help you get an even distribution of holes in your daisy when stringing it up! The hole should be large enough that all three sides have equal amount of space around them (the same goes for your bead!). The more uniform they are spaced out from each other will give them more symmetry which will look better later on when making earrings etc…

Beaded Peyote Pattern

Peyote stitch is a great beginner’s technique that allows you to create beaded jewelry with a domed shape. It’s perfect for creating your own necklaces, bracelets and earrings! Beaders love the look of peyote because it’s elegant and classic—a true heirloom piece of jewelry. Here are some tips for making your own:

  • The design must be planned out before you start bead weaving or else your pattern will be too difficult to keep track of. You can count each stitch as you add it or use a graph paper template and mark off each stitch as you go along. If this sounds overwhelming at first, don’t worry! You’ll get used to it soon enough!
  • Practice makes perfect when learning any new skill (especially if it involves materials!), so don’t give up if something doesn’t work out right away; just try again until things start flowing smoothly! In fact, many people find that there’s no need even bother counting individual stitches – just make sure all beads are going through properly before moving onto next one.* Don’t forget about color variations either – there are plenty available online along with other accessories such as chains/cords/etc)
