I Opened An Etsy Shop!!!!

I 'm so excited I finally opened my etsy shop! Here's a few pictures of what's in there so far.

I'll slowly be building up my inventory over the next few days so please stop by.

Pearl Netting

I think this is turning into the beaded flower fiasco all over again. Once I start making something I like I wind up making like fifty of them. (you should see how many of those flower necklaces I actually made it's ridiculous lol)

Happy Beading,

I've really been enjoying my little venture into the world of seed beads. Here's another tutorial I tried out it's really easy and takes very little time to do. click here to be taken to the tutorial I used :) Now on to the pictures.

I really enjoy making them and their quite cute :) I hope you like them too.

A gift to myself

My order from artbeads.com came yesterday ^_^ I went through and used everything but when I was done I still had a few things left over. It wasn't enough to make a necklace or a normal sized bracelet so I thought hmmm what to do. Then it hit me why don't I make my self a bracelet (I have tiny wrists lol). I think it turned out very nice ^_^

Oh and if your wondering what that mark is on my arm. It's were I had a hair tie on my wrist lol. I always keep one on my wrist just in case I need it ^_^ In other news I made a facebook fan page Become a fan if you want. Enjoy the rest of my blog!

Flat Spiral Stitch

I really adore this "stitch" (even though each bracelet takes over two hours to make) it's called the "flat spiral stitch" hence the title ;) I've made quite a few of these and everyone seems to really like them ^_^ (to see more click here) I hope you like them too ^_^

Enjoy ^_^

Cheap, Fun, and Easy ;)

I really love making these bracelets, and their on stretchy string so it's really simple.All you do need to know how to do is tubular peyote but it's really easy to learn with stretchy string and pony beads!

Materials Needed:

Scissors

Stretchy String
Pony Beads
And You
                                        

I cut my string to the length of my arm span, I'm not sure the exact length.
String on as many beads as you need to fit comfortably around your wrist. Remember to
string colors on in pairs of two.

Tie the two strings together. I use an over hand knot, but that's just my preference you can tie it however you prefer.

and it should look like this :)

since my string is coming out of a cream bead you add a cream bead and go through a pink bead

Then continue around the bracelet

String on another bead (make sure the bead you string on is the same color as the bead
your string is coming out of)

then put the sting through the next bead and pull tight

Do that all the way around. Then when you get to the beginning again continue in the tutorial :)

In order to "step up" to the next level you must string your cord through the two top beads of the row your working on
(you can't tell in the picture but I do have a blue bead on my string also)

Do This Until you have your desired number of rows (I did 8 rows) Then continue in the tutorial to see how to finish off your bracelet

Almost Done :) Now put your string up through your work to make a loop

then put your string through that loop to make another loop DO NOT pull

Then put it through that loop and pull tight

This is what it should look like when you're done :)

I hope this was easy for you to understand. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments

and I will try to respond as soon as possible. Thanks and please Enjoy the rest of my blog :)
