Beaded sphere - tutorial

So here I come with another beaded sphere - and another beading tutorial, a very detailed, step-by-step instruction. The pendant has been shown on here already - in this post. Now, if you follow the instruction, you can make one for yourself. ;)

The tutorial is available here on Craftsy and on Etsy.

And here's the pendant - in two different color versions.

Now a pendant like this can be yours too. ;)

Beaded donut - tutorial. Part 2

Keeping my promise and publishing the second part of the tutorial as soon as possible. ;)
So enjoy everyone who was waiting for it. :)



22. Pick up 3 x 6mm beads and pass the needle through the same 3mm bead the thread was
coming out at the beginning of this step

23. Pass the needle through the next two 3mm beads

24. Pick up 2 x 6mm beads and pass the needle through the nearest 6mm bead added in step 22

25. Pass the needle through the same 3mm bead the thread was coming out at the beginning
of the previous step and the next two 3mm beads

26. Repeat steps 24-25 until you have added 23 6mm beads in total

27. Pass the needle through the last two 3mm beads and then through the nearest 4mm bead
added in step 22

28. Pick up 1 x 6mm bead and pass the needle through the nearest 6mm bead added in step 26
to join both sides altogether

29. Pass the needle through the 3mm bead between the two joined sides

30. This is how your beadwork should look like at this stage

31. And this is how the other side looks like. Now when you are working on the other side,
you can use the thread that was left at the end of step 8. It should be coming out from
the 4mm bead

32. Pass the needle through the nearest 3mm bead. It doesn’t matter whether it is on the left or
the right side of the 4mm bead the thread is coming out. Choose the direction which is the most
comfortable for you

33. Pick up 1 x 3mm bead and pass through the next one 3mm bead.

34. Repeat step 33 until you have added 12 3mm beads in total

35. Pick up 1 x 6mm bead and pass the needle through the 6mm bead on the outer edge,
below the 3mm bead the thread is coming out

36. Pick up 1 x 6mm bead and pass the needle through the 3mm bead the thread was coming
out at the beginning of step 35

37. Pass the needle through the next two 3mm beads

38. Pick up 1 x 6mm bead, pass the needle through the 6mm bead that is below the 3mm bead,
then pass the needle through the nearest 6mm bead (here the one added in step 35)

39. Continue with joining upper and lower sides of the pendant until you have added 12 6mm
beads in total

40. Pass the needle through the next two 3mm beads

41. Pass the needle through the nearest 6mm bead, added in step 36

42. Pass the needle through the 6mm bead, below the3mm bead the thread was coming out
at the beginning of previous step

43. Pass the needle through the nearest 6mm bead added at the end of step 39

44. Pass the needle through the same 3mm bead the thread was coming out at the beginning
of step 42

45. This is how your beadwork should look like at this stage:

If nothing disturbs me, you should expect the third part of this tutorial to be published tomorrow. :)

And one more beaded donut ;)

I was almost forced to make this one. ;) Yesterday, after showing the previous two pendants on Polski Beading, a few have asked me about the tutorial... Since the pattern was created entirely in my head, there was no other choice but to make the tutorial for them. So the pendant was made, the photos were taken, and now there's some more work ahead of me... but I think the tutorial should be ready within the next two days. It will be available for free for everyone interested in getting it. So stay tuned! ;)
