Crossweave Necklace

Crossweave is very similar to right angle weave, but instead of one needle, your using two needles. Here is a quick how to of how I did this...

Using two needles, add three beads onto your beading thread to start and then add 4th bead and go through w both needles through the 4th bead. Then add a bead to both needles, then add another bead and go through that bead with both needles. Repeat....add a bead to both needles, then add another bead and go through that bead with both needles. Keep repeating until desired length.

Crossweave Necklace. I change uses for this necklace, I sometimes add a pendent, or my name badge or if in my craft room I use them to hold my glasses. :)

14 Strand Square Wire Bracelet

This was my first attempt at making a 14 Strand Wire Bracelet. I found a tutorial for this on YouTube. The gal did a great job explaining.  Here is the link to her video if you would like to watch and give it a try...

I use a back splash 1inch glass tile for my accent piece. The wire is 21 gauge square brass wire. 

I also made a second one, using 8 strands and it turned out really nice. I'd take a photo, but already gave to my mother in law.

 

Handmade Twin Bead Bracelet

This is a recent bracelet I finished using two colors (shades) of Twin Beads (2 hole seed bead). And finishing off the outer edge with seed beads. The leaf clasp is a Jill MacKay magnetic clasp and is a double sided so bracelet can be worn on either side.
