Lattice Beaded Bead with 6mm Round Gemstone
We’ve got a fun lattice beaded bead pattern tutorial for you using 6mm round gemstones. Can’t you image the possibilities!
As a request from our viewers, So Vang is sharing her pattern to making a lattice beaded bead using 6mm round gemstones. You don’t have to use 6mm gemstones. You can use 6mm bicone beads or 6mm round Chinese Crystals or Pearls. You can decide on the colors, that’s the fun of taking a tutorial and making it your own!
This pattern is also an altered version to the 2mm Pearl blog.
For this tutorial you’ll need:
- 8/0 Miyuki Seed Beads
- 11/0 Miyuki Seed Beads
- 6mm Round Gemstones
- Beading Thread
- Needle
And of course…
Adjusting Your Pattern
Sometimes, when designing your lattice beaded bead, you will find that the tutorial pattern won’t work as well and you’ll need to adjust the pattern. In this example, we have the 6mm Labradorite round beads. These beads are a slight smaller than the white Howlite, so in Step 6 I had adjusted to using THREE 11/0 seed beads instead of FOUR. This way, the lacing of the seed beads will hug the round gemstones.
