We’re combining two of our favorites in today’s project: Swarovski crystals and beadable accessories. This punk-style jewelry will be your favorite for an edgy look!

What you’ll need:

• Swarovki 2-Hole Spike Crystal Bead – item used in cuff SW01714 (6)

Directions:

1. Add a stopper bead to 3 feet of beading thread.
2. You will be sewing a ladder stitch to complete your cuff. Sew up through first hole on the bottom left. Pick up a spike bead and sew down the hole across the channel from the hole you first sewn up from.
3. Along the top, skip a hole and sew up through the next hole. Sew through the second hole of the spike bead and down the hole across the channel.
4. Skip a hole and sew up through the next one. Pick up a spike bead and sew down the hole across the channel from that hole you’ve sewn up from.
5. Skip a hole and sew up through the next one, sew through the second hole of the spike bead and down the hole, across the channel.
6. Repeat this sequence until you’ve added 6 beads.
7. Sew through the runs of beads again to secure the crystals in place.

Beadalon instant pendants are easy to use! You simply unscrew the bottom cap and slide your beads one the mandrel and screw back on your cap. Another way to vamp up your instant pendant design is with a peyote stitched tube. Here is a simple even count peyote tube you can add to these nifty instant pendants.
What you’ll need:

• Beadalon Instant Pendants
• 11/0 Delica Seed Beads
• Beading Thread and Needle
  AND
• PDF Tutorial

What you’ll need to know:

• Basic Knowledge on Even Count Peyote Stitch 
• OTHER Even Count Tube Bead Examples

Peyote Tube Pendant

Make multiple tubes with fun designs using Miyuki Delica beads. Plus, the Instant Pendants makes it easy to slide on each tube or even swap them out for a versatile design option!

Items used in examples: SB02339, SB00223, A006585, A015211, Z016436 & TCZ0078

Directions

1. Start with 4 feet of beading thread.
2. Make a stopper bead at the end of your beading thread, leaving a 4-5 inch tail. (I like using a different color Delica to differentiate the beads.)
   
3. Sew on 28 delica beads.
4. Pick up a delica bead and sew back through the second to last delica, going the opposite way. Pick up another delica bead, skip a bead and sew through the next delica bead. Repeat going all the way back towards to stopper
5. Once you’ve sewn through the first delica bead, you’ve finished your second row of your peyote stitch pattern. Pick up another delica bead and sew back the other way skipping the first bead and sewing through the second. Repeat again down the row.
6. Repeat your peyote stitch going back and forth until you’ve added 12 rows.
7. Wrap the sides together to create a tube and peyote stitch the first row to zip up the peyote tube. Gently pull your thread tight to even out thread and loop through a few beads and cut off excess thread. Pull off stopper bead and sew thread end through a few beads and cut off excess.
8. Repeat all steps to make another tube. Add tube to instant pendant and attach pendants to earwires for easy DIY earrings!

Make easy DIY jewelry using Beadable Components and adding POPS of color with Miyuki Delica Seed Beads. Here are ways to bead and use the beadable components.

From our recent Trends We Love, our new Beadable Components are what you need for an easy bead-stitch project. These pairs well with our 11/0 Miyuki Delica Seed Beads or beads with a width of 1.5mm or thinner. Our projects uses the basic ladder stitch. Here is a look at how a ladder stitch is done to sew through the channels. Make sure when you’ve sewn through your pattern or channels, to sew through them again to strengthen the pattern.

Here are some projects using these beadable components:

Beadable Ring Pendant

The Beadable Ring Pendant (Silver or Gold) has 24 channels and fun options to designing with this piece. Each channel holds 3 Delica beads. Here are a few ideas.

On the left is a pretty pair of pink and gold earrings. We even added a pearl dangle at the bottom! Make sure to use size 24-gauge headpins if adding dangles to beadable components.

Items used in earrings: Z011337 (2), A019635, SW00665 (2), TC02298, SB00269, SB02332 (A015211 & A006587)

In the middle, we’ve made a rainbow wheel with the beadable pendant. Attach it to your necklace chain for this easy DIY necklace!

Items used in rainbow pendant necklace: Z011336 (2), SB03546, SB02343, SB02336, SB02310, SB02311, SB03545, SB02327, SB02349, A001528, Z001033 (A015211 & A006587)

Items used in right pendant: Z011336 (2), SB01824, SB01822, SB01826 (A015211 & A006587)

Beadable Teardrop Pendant

Love the shape of the classic teardrop! This beadable component is much easier to sew through since it only has 5 channels to work with. Each channel holds different amounts of Delica beads. The outer channel holds 13 Delicas, the inner two holds 15 Delicas and the middle holds 16. Here are two ways to using this beadable component.

The necklace on the right uses the amount of correct amount of Delicas for each channel. We’ve also used two colors to add a design to its channels. Then, using 24-gauge jump rings, we’ve added small tassels to the bottom holes of the pendant before making a fun necklace with it!

Items used in necklace: Z011339, SB00269, SB02336, A002413, Z013681, Z001033 (A015211 & A006587)

And who wouldn’t love a pair of earrings! On the right, we have a charming pair of gold earrings using Delica beads and metal tube beads. The tube beads has the small thickness as Delica seed beads and works perfectly for these beadable components.

Beadable cuffs are an easy DIY bracelet to wear or gift. Here is an easy tutorial for making your very own beadable cuff with Miyuki Delicas.

This simple tutorial is easy for all beading levels. Plus, it’s a trendy piece of jewelry you can layer with all of your bracelets!

Items you will need to make a beadable cuff:

• beadable cuff finding (Silver Z001859/ Gold Z01860)
• Beading Thread (A006587)
• Miyuki Delica 11/0 Seed Beads

Ladder Stitch

One basic technique when bead stitching your beadable cuff is the ladder stitch, also known as the invisible stitch. For sewers or quilters, this technique is used to cleanly close fabric openings. But in our case, we are using the same technique to loop through the holes of the beadable cuff while adding Delica beads in between the channel of the cuff.

Add a stopper bead to the end of your beading thread. To do this, loop your thread TWICE through a seed bead, leaving a 6 inch tail end. Sew up through one hole and pick up three Delicas. Sew down through the hole across the channel. Sew up through the next hole, add three Delicas and sew down through the hole across the channel. Repeat until you’ve reach the end of your Cuff.

NOTE: to strengthen your beading thread, sew back up through the beads and holes using the same ladder stitch technique.

Tie both ends off and use a tiny dab of glue to secure the knots. Cut off excess thread.
