There are no strict rules for using this technique on other spacers. You'll have to do a lot of testing before you get a harmonious weave. But here are a few recommendations:

• Be as symmetrical as possible. Imagine a line dividing your spacer in half and weave in the same way on both sides.
• As you weave around a spacer, the weave will gradually tighten or spread. This means that some beads need to be removed or added to the previous row. This depends on the spacer, but as far as possible, try to be as regular as possible by removing every fifth bead, for example.
• This diagram was created using graphics software. There is currently no bead software for this type of weave. As you can see, the appearance of the pattern is different from the weave itself, as this type of weave is very difficult to represent.
