Miyuki Brickstitch Spike Beads PureCrystal Bracelet

How to integrate PureCrystal Spike Beads into a Miyuki weaving?

Discover the PureCrystal Spike Beads through this tutorial. These small beads of very good finish have been created to integrate perfectly with Miyuki bead weaving. Use them in your Brick Stitch, Peyote or loom weaving . You can either integrate them into the weaving or add them on top.

Beware the Galvanized Apricot Gold beads lose their galvanizing fast enough, to slow down this problem wash your hands before you start weaving and dry them well. Wash your hands once again if you start having your hands sweat. Once the weaving finished, put a layer of polish on the beads. Otherwise take Duracoat beads instead, the hue is slightly different but they already have a protective varnish: Miyuki Delicas Duracoat 11/0 DB1836 - Galvanized Muscat x8g .

Step 1 :
Follow the diagram to create one half of the Brick Stitch weaving bracelet. If Brick Stitch weaving is new for you, we invite you to test the following tutorial at first " Miyuki bead brooch teepee pattern by Rose Mustache " and follow our technical sheets on the subject: " How to start a Brick Stitch weaving? And " How to make a brick stitch weaving with increase and reduction? ".

2nd step :
Connect the two parts of the bracelet by adding beads in the same way as to start a Brick Stitch weaving.

Step 3:
If you used Galvanized Apricot Gold beads instead of duracoats, varnish the bracelet on both sides and wait until the varnish dries perfectly before making the other side.

Step 4:
Weave the spike bead to the weaving using the four beads you added in step 2. Return to the end of the bracelet to attach the chain to the weaving.
  

Step 5:
Pass the needle through a chain link and back into the end bead. Pass once again into the chain and then into the bead. Wedge the thread into the weaving and cut it.

Step 6:
Measure the length of chain needed for your bracelet then fix the other end of the chain. Cut the chain in the middle to add the jumprings and the clasp.
