NB: Please note that the list of products below does not fully correspond to the presentation photo. For stock reasons, some products in this tutorial have been replaced by equivalents. The heart button has been replaced by another product. Please measure your wrist to adjust the quantity of beads needed.
Fold the cord in half, insert the button and make a knot.
Take about 1.5m of fireline, fold it in 2 to double the strength of the thread. Pass it on the top cord by falling down.
Insert a bead in the 2 wires.
Wedge the bead between the 2 cords, take the remaining thread and pass it under the bottom cord.
Pass the thread over the bottom bead and then tuck the thread into the bead. Pass the thread under the top bead and then repeat the same threading technique for all the other beads, avoiding tightening the thread too much and making sure to keep a nice evenness.
If the bead twists during beading, adjust it as you go and straighten it out.
Proceed to the 2nd round once the cord has reached the desired length for the 1st round.
Continue beading the 2nd round.
When you have less than 15 cm of thread left, add another thread then continue beading, the 1st thread will be camouflaged at the end.
The row n°3 composed of miyuki is the most meticulous, you have to insert the beads and then place them as much as possible with the previously inserted beads, for that, use your thumb to have a perfect alignment. Find the weaving grid of the 3rd round above.
Advance in beading.
Once the bead stringing is complete, camouflage the wires, to do this, pass the wire several times through the same beads until the wire is well trapped. Then put a bit of glue on the cord and the wire.
Cut the excess wire with a wire cutter.
Make the closing knot and then make others at a distance to serve as a clasp.
