Warning: Very Random Post Ahead!

If you were wondering I did make this bracelet in the same way as the one in this tutorial ^_^

Okay so really this post has nothing to do with the bracelet I just didn't want to have another picture less post because let's face it no pictures = very boring ^_^ Okay so on to the point :) I've really been obsessing over lampwork bead making lately. I'm  really considering looking into classes because I really need to see if I'm even going to like it before I go and invest so much money into getting started. Lampworking is really not a cheap hobby especially if you get all of the equipment then decided you don't even like it. Classes aren't cheap either but a lot cheaper than blindly going out and spending money on things you might not even need. As I see it making beads should go right along with making jewelry ^_^ (oh and by the way I have tried polymer clay bead making really not my thing. I really only tried it to see if it would stop me from wanting to make lampwork beads so badly, but I really failed at it) I mean why buy so many beads when anybody is totally capable of making them for themselves. Don't get me wrong I'll still buy beads (who could resist) but it would be nice to use a couple beads that I've made myself in along with them ^_^

Any thoughts or comment would be helpful ^__^
(I hope I can find classes soon I'm really excited to get started :)

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 :)
