Learn how to weave the tubular herringbone pattern with this video tutorial designed for beginners. You’ll weave a bracelet using Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads, which is easy to match with your favorite outfits. You can also make it using standard seed beads. In fact, this beaded bracelet design is very easy to customize: you can change the type of beads, the colors, create your own pattern, or even include small 2-mm faceted beads. Feel free to post a photo of your creation in the comments section of this tutorial.
Herringboneweaving is a needle-weaving technique that doesn’t require a loom. Using a sturdy weaving thread and a very fine needle, you’ll weave the beads two at a time. They’ll automatically align diagonally, creating a chevron pattern along the entire length of the bracelet. This makes it a slightly faster technique than Brick Stitch and Peyote weaving.
Herringbone weaving is one of the basic techniques in needle beading. Just like Peyote, there are different variations: flat Herringbone weaving, tubular Twisted Herringbone, and simple tubular Herringbone. Feel free to explore the other versions of this technique.
This small, thin, and delicate Miyuki bead bracelet will be a great accessory all year round. With its coral, cream, brown, and gold colors, it pairs easily with outfits in shades of beige, white, ecru, camel, or brown. It can also add a pop of color to a more understated outfit. Make several to layer them together. For example, you can pair the bracelet from this beading tutorial with a solid-colored tubular Herringbone bracelet—in gold or cream—to create beautiful bracelet combinations.
In the spring, you can go for combinations of pink, green, lilac, or cream. For summer, try bolder colors like turquoise, coral, yellow, or orange. In the fall, shades of brown, terracotta, beige, and gold work particularly well together. For winter, you can choose dark blue, white, or gray, or add more metallic beads.
It’s also a great way to use up leftover Miyuki beads from your previous projects. Put together several color combinations and create a small collection of Herringbone bracelets to match your outfits all year round.
