Recently, several of my bead weaver friends have commented that right angle weave simply gives them fits. Since it happens to be one of my favorite stitches, I thought I'd put together my own take on the basic stitch, single needle style. I've got a quick overview here. After the holidays, I'll put together a more in-depth look, including basic increases and decreases on my website, so be sure to check back in early January! Add 4 beads 1st unit, 3 beads 2nd The Basic Right Angle Weave UnitString four beads onto your thread. Stitch through your first two beads to create a loop (your stitching should form a spiraling loop and a half). Congratulations! You've just created the basic right angle weave (RAW) unit! Each basic RAW unit is composed of exactly four beads. Building our First Row Looking at a circle of right angle weave, you'll note that each unit has a top, bottom and two sides. We will build our next RAW unit off of one of those side beads. (I choose the right hand bead in my diagram). Reposition your needle if necessary (diagram 2). Since we already have one of the beads we need, we will only pick up three beads this time. Stitch back through the side bead of unit one to finish the unit, and reposition your needle by stitching through two of your new beads. Looping Figure 8 stitch pattern The stitch pattern is a looping Figure Eight. If you can see this, you're good to go. I'll keep working off of the right-most bead to build additional units. One time I'll loop up from the bottom, the next I'll loop down from the top. But in this row, each new right angle weave is built with three additional beads. Building Row Two Building our Second RowWe will work off of the top or bottom beads to build our second row. I've chosen to work off of the top beads in my diagrams at left. To build your first unit of row two, pick up three beads, and complete the circle through the top bead of the last RAW unit from row one. The trick: You already have two of the beads necessary to build the second RAW unit in this row. Take a look a the diagram - you already have the bottom and right side beads, so you'll only need to add two beads this time. Reposition your needle by stitching up through the side bead of your current unit. Add two beads. Complete the circle. Following the stitch pattern, reposition your needle and add two more beads. Keep going until you reach the end of your row! Three rows of RAW. Secure thread by stitching Additional RowsBuild Additional rows the same way you built your second row. Always start a new row by adding three beads. Continue building the row by adding two beads at a time for each new RAW unit after that. Securing Your ThreadThe best way to secure your thread ends is simply to stitch back into the main body of your bead work and stitch through several figure eights. The direction changes in the stitch pattern will keep everything tight and secure. Do this with both your beginning and ending threads. And that's it. That's basic Right Angle Weave (with a single needle).
Beaded strands. Material: Glass and acrylic. This beaded curtain is perfect for separating rooms without a door in the doorway. I used metal curtain rings to hang them from any hanger easily as you wish. we put 20 mm acrylic ball at bottom with each string. Each beaded string is separate from each other. So you can adjust the space between the strands to fit them to your area. Each strand is 182.88 cm length. I’m in love with making custom requests. So you can always request customization. I can change size according to your requests. So please don’t hesitate to contact me

Handmade silk strings In 2005 I got it in my head that I needed to make silk strings to go with some beads I was working on. The addiction got a bit out of hand and I made hundreds of them, I still have a nice selection of colors anytime I feel the need to use them in a jewelry design. When making jewelry I love to be able to say that I made EVERY part and piece used in the design. I posted this tutorial on Lampwork etc but decided to update it and post the whole thing here for the rest of the world :) These are very easy to make so here goes... Supplies Serger a regular machine just wont work for this project. If you choose you don't have to finish the edges but they will not wear as well. Silk Yardage you will want this on the heavy side so it has some bounce back, Shantung Silk or Dupion Silk works great. A yard made about 50 of them to give you an idea of how much fabric to get.The silk I use does have some small slugs and thicker strings and it gives them a very interesting look when dyed. The slubs end up running across the ribbons when you cut the strings. 100% cotton thread 3 spools, I used the quilting thread on the cardboard tube from Hobby Lobby. You can use a color polly thread but then it won't dye. Dye- You could use any type i like Tumble Dye from Hobby Lobby, it comes in a nice spray bottle. I have also used koolaid, Easter egg dye, coffee and tea with wonderful results. Any dye can be placed in a spray bottle and used for this process. Rotary Cutter & Mat Sandwich Ziplocs Rubber gloves Plastic table cloth to protect your area I have gotten these at the dollar store. Microwave Iron If you get as carried away as I did this pant hanger works well to store them. Instructions Cut strips 3/4 of an inch wide using a rotary cutter, I cut my salvage to salvage. Set up your serger for a 3 thread rolled hem. You want the width of the bite to be at around a 5 (mine is adjustable but some aren't) if you don't have it set wide the silk wont roll enough and you will get fuzzy edges. It should also be a bit of a long stitch since you don't want the edge to bulky. Your serger book should guide you on how to set up your machine. (if you need more help with your serger than this I can help, I taught sewing for the Viking Sewing Machine Company for 14 years) Stitch the edges of both sides trimming a bit off so you are sure there is enough fabric getting rolled in the hem. I serged the ends to a point but if you are going to knot the ends this isn’t important. Don’t use any seam sealer on the ends of your edges until you are finished dying or that section won’t dye. I don't ever use this but some folks may want to. Put on your rubber gloves unless you love tie-dyed hands. Now for the dye, like I said before the spray on dye worked great you can lay the ribbons out flat or wad them up for a more type-dyed look, spray the ribbons using all one color or several different colors making sure to not leave any dry spots unless that's the look you are going for. If you wet the strings before you apply the dye they will end up with a more pastel look. When you put the dye straight onto the dry ribbons they will have brighter bolder shades. After applying the dye, place two or more strings into a ziploc and put them into the microwave for a minuet to steam set the dye then hang to dry. Iron them flat for a second heat set. Run under warm water to see if any extra dye will rinse out. Most likely the dye will be set enough that you won't see any extra dye escape but with some colors you will always have extra dye rinse away. It's always good to take this last step because no one wants a neck that matches their jewelry. If you want to make black strings I suggest just purchasing black fabric and thread. It's so much easier. Below are some photos of jewelry where I used the silk strings. Silk string used on a resin bezel (sold) Silk String used with antique buttons (sold) Silk Strings on Cluster Necklace $45.00
The cost of these is so low because you are pretty much just paying for shipping, this is my I make for fun item!!!!!!!! Pronoun kandi singles that have quite a few options for personalization! You will need to select: -Your favorite color (THE COLORS ARE NOT TIED TO YOUR PRONOUNS GO NUTS) -The size or your wrist (to get the size of your wrist: you can loosely wrap a piece of yarn or string around your wrist then measure that against a ruler, or you can use one of those flexible rulers) -Pronouns Examples: She/Her, He/Him, They/Them, She/They, He/They, She/He, Xe/Xir, Ae/Aer, One/Ones, It/Its, Fae/Faer, Ze/Zir, Ey/Em, Xe/Xem/Xer, ECT. Since I'm limited to letter beads, I have to request non-emoji Neopronouns. For those I would like you to do this: ☀️/☀️s/☀️self would become Sun/Suns/Sunself or Sun/Suns/Sunshineself depending on preference! Also if you would like an even more specific color scheme like a pride flag that isn't just the rainbow one (I was trying to keep the color options pared down I really really wanted to go ham) either send send me a message or put it in the personalization and I will happily make you one at no extra charge!
Now that I am a mom and Lucy is getting older, I am SO enjoying incorporating kid friendly design into our house. While it may not be for everyone, I find so much joy in decorating and accessorizing with things that make Lucy happy and bring a little fun into each room- I've got the rest of my life to be serious about decorating! Recently I had the idea to make a colorful beaded curtain completely out of pasta noodles. I thought it would be a fun accessory for the hallway and the perfect project to work on as a family (hello sorting, colors, counting and stringing beads). You might remember in the past that I painted noodles but this time around I needed so many noodles so the easiest technique was to dye them. I filled ziplock bags with noodles, dropped about a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol and a few drops of food coloring. I zipped up the bag and shook everything up until all the noodles were soaked in color (the longer you leave them in the bag the more saturated color you will have). I quickly got pretty bored with the 4 colors of food coloring so I pulled out my Dylusions Ink Sprays (I have tons of colors) and add a few drops and came up with all kinds of fun colors! I let the noodles dry in the sun all day. Once they were dry Lucy and I sorted them by color. Then we got busy beading! It took a while but we worked on beaded strands here and there over a couple of days and finally made enough to make a simple curtain. The last step was to create the curtain- I tied all the strands to a tension rod that we hung in the hallway. So far the curtain has been a big hit! Lucy's been playing all kinds of silly little games when she walks into the hallway. And even though they are just noodle beads, I am LOVING the color it adds to the hallway!
....DIY So, here's a little useful and pretty DIY for your kitchen: A wooden bead trivet. Perfect for protecting your work surfaces from hot pots and pans when cooking...I use mine to rest my chemex coffee maker on, and I love the simple hexagonal design and the color and texture of the wooden beads! This is a very simple make, and besides from the wooden beads, all you'll need is a needle and some string. I made mine in less than 1/2 hour. Here's how you can make your own: Create a loop at the end of your string, then thread on 6 beads... Use the loop to tighten the beads together into a circle, then pass the needle through the last bead to secure the shape. Let's call this the first row. To start forming the second row, thread on one bead to sit between two of the beads on the first row. Secure by passing the needle through the next bead on the first row...repeat all the way around... Next up, you want to fill the gaps on the second row... Do this by passing the needle through the beads you've just attached, then add the beads to fill in.. Start the third row in the same way as you did the second, but this time add two beads, before securing by passing the needle through the corresponding bead on the previous row... Continue all the way around... ... then fill in the gaps as you did before. I stopped there, but if you want a bigger trivet, just repeat the processes above until you get your desired size. Tie off the loose end. Simple, easy and good looking: A useful addition to your kitchen... I love the way it compliments my Chemex and fits in with my kitchen interiors: I hope you all have a great weekend, and that you will pop back next week for my next installment in my Beautiful Utility blog post series, as next week I am looking at how to get your laundry and household cleaning essentials to become more integrated element of your interiors, by choosing functional, yet beautifully designed tools for the job.

Back-to-basic macrame bracelet. It was supposed to be like a Free People or Chan Luu wrap bracelet, but it doesn't really look like one anyways... oh well. ;) Materials ~kitchen twine/string ~scissors Cut 2 very long lengths of string. Mine were approximately 172" long. Fold them both in half and tie a knot about 1/2" down from the top. You now have 2 little loops at the top with 4 strings. Now start macrame-ing. Here's a lil' picture tutorial. If it's confusing, just look up another tutorial, haha... Macrame till it's the desired length. Just hold one end and wrap it loosely around your wrist. Mine's approximately 32." When you're done, tie a knot, and then tie a knot over it for the toggle part of your clasp. Dun, dun, dun... No really. You're done. Have a good weeeeeekeeeeennnndddd..... o(^__^o)
