If you are already familiar with Brick Stitch weaving, then it's easy to replace the delicas or rocailles you usually use with bugles. The technique remains the same, only the shape of the bead changes. If you are new to Brick Stitch weaving, we suggest you start with a project in delicas which will be easier than this tutorial. For example, you could start with this tutorial: Brick Stitch diamond bracelet in burgundy gold.
One of the difficulties of the tutorial will be to use the delicas with the bugles. As the 5 delicas strung in a row are slightly larger than the bugles, your weave will have a tendency to lean and you will have to go back through the beads and tighten the weave to rectify this. If you can't, replace the delicas by bugles.
Miyuki bugle tube beads come in 3mm and 6mm. In this tutorial, we used 6 mm, but you can do the same thing with 3 mm. This will give a less elongated triangle. There are also slender bugles which are thinner and twisted bugles which have a spiral effect. Adapt this model to your desires.
The base of the triangle is composed of 2 rows of 7 beads that have been woven in square stitch. Brick stitch is used for the rest of the triangle.
Cut 1.20 m of thread. Thread two bugles and weave them in ladder stitch (Brick Stitch start), to do this, pass through the first Bugle so as to form a loop and tighten. Thread through each of the two beads again. Thread a delicas bead.
Pass through the second flugelhorn, thread a third flugelhorn and return to the second flugelhorn, then tighten and pass through both beads again, adding a delica next to the first as you pass.
Put on a fourth flugelhorn, go into the third and tighten. Thread a delicas, go back into the fourth bugle, into the third and then into the fourth. Continue weaving the flugelhorns until you have 7 golden tube beads and 6 delicas.
Weave the second row in square stitch. Thread 5 delicas and a bugle and pass through the bugle below.
Return to the 5 delicas by passing through the next bugle.
Go to the bugle next to the delicas, then go back to the delicas to join it all together.
Put on a purple flugelhorn and pass through the gold flugelhorn below.
Pass through the golden bugle next to it and back up into the delicas, then connect the delicas to the new bugle by passing through it and then through the delicas again.
Go through the purple bugle and the gold bugle below, then through the next bugle to go up. Thread a white tube bead and pass through the purple bead. Then join the last two bugle beads by going through each one again.
Continue weaving the row with the same technique. Start the third row in Brick stitch. Thread a gold bugle and 5 delicas beads, thread the needle under the thread connecting the delicas and the purple bugle below and back into the delicas.
Solidarize the flugelhorn and the delicas by passing through each one again.
Attach a new purple bugle in brick stitch again. Pass the needle under the thread connecting the purple bugle and the white one below and return to the last purple bugle. Continue to weave the rows in Brick stitch, adding two beads at a time at the beginning of each row.
Finish the triangle by adding a single Brick stitch bead at the top. You will see the thread on each side of the bead, this is normal. Turn around in the gold bugles on the bottom to return to the bead.
Pass the needle through the ear stud ring, back into the delicas and turn around in the bugles to pass a second time to secure the weave. Pass the remaining threads through the weave, making a few passes through the beads and then trim the excess thread.
