Here is a classic tutorial that we decided to share with you again today. It had been offered to you in 2016 as a video in burgundy and green tones, then with a blue version. Today, here are turquoise miyuki earrings as well as a blank weaving grid to color in 3D triangle to create your own earring pattern. This pattern is slightly different, as we have replaced the PureCrystal tops with 11/0 gold delicas. This does not change the technique.
This is not a beginner tutorial, but it is not very difficult either. To make it, you can use the step by step pictures below and a video available here : Miyuki beads 3D triangle video tutorial.
The technique is from Circular Peyote. Weave a circle with a base of 3 or more beads, then add 1 or 2 beads between the beads of the first circle depending on the model. Then, we complete the gaps with beads. The earring is woven in one piece.
Prepare the loops by gluing the cabochons in the crimps. Put a dab of glue inside the crimp and place the cabochon inside. Wait a few hours for the glue to dry before touching it. You can also choose other gold earrings.
Cut 1.5 m of thread and thread it onto a weaving needle. Thread 3 gold 11/0 delicas beads and place them 15 cm from the end of the thread. Thread through the first bead again to form a loop and tighten.
Between each bead, add two golden beads.
For the third bead addition, go through the two beads already woven as shown in the photo. This allows you to go up to start the third round of weaving. With each new round, you will go up two beads.
Add two gold beads between the two beads, then a turquoise one. Repeat this two more times and then move up two beads to the next round.
Add two gold beads, a turquoise bead, and then another turquoise bead. Repeat this twice.
Continue weaving the triangle following the pattern and adding two gold beads on each edge. Cross out the beads as you go along in the diagram to help you find your way around.
When you reach this round, add a single bead on the vertices instead of two. We will soon start the decrease to close the second face of the 3D triangle.
Once you have completed this trick, go straight into the gold bead at the top without adding a bead at the edges.
Follow the pattern and add the last golden bead against the top bead.
For this round, do not go into the golden pearl at the top. Go directly to the golden bead next to it. This is the one you wove in the previous round. This is to bring the two beads together.
Do this at each vertex. You should see the triangle start to bulge.
With each new round, pass through the gold beads from the previous round at the edges to bring them together.
At this level, place an 8 mm bead whose colour will not contrast with that of the pearls. Here, a wooden bead of nature.
Bring the last three beads together by passing them through one after the other and tightening. Make two turns to tighten them.
Cut a 6 cm piece of chain.
Pass the needle through the beads, along one edge, to one of the three top beads. Pass the needle through the last link in the chain and then back through the top bead on the opposite side from where the thread exits. Pass through the link and the bead three times to secure them. Then pass the needle through the weave beads to the opposite top bead and repeat this step.
Open the sleeper ring and slide the middle of the chain through it. Check that the loop does not lean to one side. If it does, change links or place two in the ring.
