Do-it-yourself necklace made of beads and cabochons. Beaded necklace: weaving patterns and a step-by-step master class. Round Beaded Cabochons

Bright necklace made of beads and cabochons. Master class from Lydia

For work, we need:

1. Natural formless bead, variscite.
   2. Dark green epoxy cabochon - 2 pcs.
   3. Rivoli drop faceted, pink - 4 pcs.
   4. Czech beads in dark green color No. 10.
   5. Czech beads of milk color No. 12.
   6. Czech beads of orange color No. 10.
   7. Czech beads number 10 in beige color.
   8. Czech beads of light green color No. 10.
   9. Czech beads of light green color, translucent No. 10.
   10. Czech yellow beads No. 12.
   11. Czech beads, yellow, translucent No. 10.
   12. Beads of various sizes and shapes.
   13. Acrylic beads in the shape of a flower - 3 pcs.
   14. The basis for embroidery.
   15. Genuine leather.
   16. Jewelry pin, brass.
   17. Toggle clasp, grape leaf.
   18. Kapron thread, scissors, connecting rings, round-nose pliers and other improvised materials.

Let's get to work. I cut out the approximate shape of the necklace on paper and transferred it to the base for embroidery, but this is only to evenly distribute some elements, the shape of the necklace at the end will be asymmetric. In the center of the necklace, we glue our variscite bead to the base and sew it additionally for reliability.

Now we need to braid it with beads, we use beads of two colors: dark green and milk. We alternate in the following sequence: three dark green and one milky color. Now weave the mosaic until it reaches the edge of the bead. Since our bead is shapeless, we will fix it in a braid in another way. We bring the thread to the beginning of the mosaic row, pick up five green beads and step into the next bead. We walk in this way around the entire braid, but alternate 5, 0. Then we put the thread into the third bead of five and pick up one bead and weave it to the end, tighten our braid for strength, making sure that the bead fits tightly in it, we pass around once for reliability.

Then on two sides of the necklace, at equal distances from the center, glue resin cabochons and sheathe them with beads of beige and milk colors.

Above the cabochons, we place the rivoli and we trim them with green, translucent beads.

Then at the very top of our base we sew yellow beads and braid them with translucent yellow beads.

Around epoxy resin cabochons we pass two rows of light green beads.

To the right of the central element, we position the rivoli and sheathe them with beads. On the left we sew the beads of bright orange color and sheathe them with orange beads.

Now, with the help of white and orange beads, we need to embroider a kind of orange slices around the orange beads.

Between them we sew a bead in the shape of a flower.

Then we sew on dark brown beads around the epoxy cabochon. Under them, we sew two beads of bright green color and pass around them with yellow and dark green beads.

Around the yellow bead sheathed with beads, we pass two rows of milk-colored beads and one row of yellow, translucent. It turned out such a banana in the context. We fill the remaining space with beads of various colors and shapes.

To the right of the central element, we sheathed the rivoli, now we pass around them with one yellow bead.

As well as on the left side of the necklace, we sew dark brown beads around the epoxy resin cabochon.

Under them we have beads of bright orange color, we pass around them two rows of orange-colored beads and one row of dark green. We fill the remaining space with beads of various shapes and colors in the same way as on the left side.

Well, we have finished the main and most difficult stage of creating a necklace. Armed with scissors, carefully trim the excess. We need to sew a connecting ring to the edge of the embroidery, thanks to which we will attach the chain in the future.

Now glue the skin to the inside of the embroidery, I use the skin of a dark brown color. After the glue has completely dried, we cut off the excess skin and process the edge with beads of yellow, translucent color.

Now we take 10 mm acrylic jewelry pins and beads and with the help of round-nose pliers we form identical loops on both sides. We will need 10 such elements, 5 on each side. We connect them together using connecting rings, at the end we attach the toggle clasp.

Well, that’s it, our necklace is ready. You can experiment and create your own necklace, taking as a basis this master class.

Good luck with your work!

My master class is dedicated to making a wonderful necklace using the “bead embroidery” technique and will tell you how to create your own unique jewelry.

The master class contains a description of a whole complex of basic techniques embroidery, braiding stones, ammonites, rivoli; I will also share some subtleties and nuances work with beads, which will be useful for beginners, as well as for those who already work with beads.

I really hope that my master class will inspire and help everyone who wants to create their own unique decoration!

The master class is replete with detailed photographs and diagrams made by me personally, I tried very hard to make everything clear and accessible 🙂

So what us necessary:

2) Beads of necessary shades (round size No. 11, 8 and No. 15 and cylindrical (Miyuki Delica / Toho Treasures) No. 11).

3) Stone cabochons, ammonite.

4) Rivoli (Swarovski or another manufacturer).

5) Artificial or genuine leather (color - suitable for the color scheme of the necklace).

6) Scissors.

7) Pencil, felt-tip pen.

8) Doublerin.

9) Accessories for jewelry (2 connectors, pins, rings, lock).

10) Beads.

11) Acrylic paints (if white felt is used).

12) Needle for embroidery with beads.

13) Threads (ordinary cotton extra strong and waxed for processing edges).

14) Thin-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, nippers, a tool for opening rings.

15) Inspiration and good mood 🙂

The first thing to decide is color scheme necklace. Personally, I advise you to choose one or two main colors, be sure to add a metallic shade ("gold", "silver", etc.), plus shades of the main colors.

An important point: Your 2 colors should be 100% combined with each other, otherwise the decoration will not look harmonious. The use of shades is also very important, they help create optical volume and get away from the plane. For the same reason, it will not be out of place to use beads of different sizes and shapes. But again, it is very important not to get away from the color concept.

I chose 2 colors: brown and purple, their various shades and beads of metallic shades (gold, bronze), which are suitable for the main colors. Selected everything that can be useful in color.

The concept of the necklace is this: not a symmetrical pattern, the presence of flowers (what autumn without flowers :)), autumn leaves, snail, stones.

We take the finished pattern (or it can be done by outlining the neckline of the T-shirt). Two lines are important to us here: the neckline and the middle.

Then we paint felt on the front side with acrylic paints. Let it dry (quickly dry in the sun). Acrylic, when it dries, forms a very comfortable surface for embroidery.

Important point: Dry colored felt only in a horizontal position! Otherwise, the paint may simply drain, leaving stains and a light tone.

I will use the cabochons of jasper Leopard, purple agate, amethyst and ammonite.

An important point: when using transparent stones, such as rock crystal or quartz, do not draw felt-tip pens or a pen with a dark core, and try not to draw any lines there, as they can later be visible and shine through the stones!

We remove our materials and finish the approximate contours of future leaves.

An important point: I recommend the correct use of glue according to the instructions behind the tube: degrease the back surface of the cabochon and hold for at least 5 minutes. before gluing surfaces. Bonding strength will be even higher!

Let the pebbles and glue dry and begin sheathed cabochons.

I can distinguish 2 basic methods of embroidery with beads:

1) when each bead is sewn with the “back needle” method;

2) when 3 (or more) beads are recruited and the last one is sewn.

The diagrams will clearly show you how the beads are sewn:

I will embroider the first method, sewing on each bead, the second method will be useful to us later, when embroidering elements with small beads.

Try to make the embroidery line as even as possible, to place the beads close to each other without gaps. At first, it may not turn out very smoothly, but do not despair: practice will form this skill 🙂

Beads should be an even number!

An important point: sew the beads “in good conscience” and be sure to pass the needle and thread through all the beads again:

After we sheathed in such a way, as if “circled” the cabochon, we proceed to it braiding.

I will braid mosaic method. We sew the second row of beads through one above the base row:

Rows should be such a number that they seem to hold the cabochon, but not much cover its surface. The last row is done in the same way, but only small beads, size No. 15, are used.

An important point: if you understand that your thread is running out and its length is not enough to braid the whole stone - it does not matter! On the jigsaw puzzle, lower the thread down to the base first row and put it inside out to make a knot. In exactly the same way, output a new thread along the mosaic (by bricks) to the required row.

Let's go back to ammonite. In our composition, he will play the role of a snail sitting on a pebble next to a leaf. Ammonite is an excellent material, but often it is very inconvenient for braiding and working. If ammonite is turned over, then from the “wrong” side it is uneven and it is impossible to glue it, as it will look uneven and ugly. Therefore, we grind the back surface of ammonite until it reaches its required height (approximately 2-3 rows of beads). For this, I used a grindstone (for sharpening knives):

An important point: Avoid excessive pressure on ammonite when grinding, as it is quite brittle and can simply break!

After the preparation of ammonite, we glue it, circle it along the protruding borders and sheathe beads (I used Miyuki “Berry”).

We will braid our snail by type tapestry weaving. The number of beads in the first row with this method of braiding can be any: even or odd.

We collect the first bead of the second row as in the “mosaic” method.

We collect the second bead, but we pull the needle from right to left through the newly sewn bead of the second (top row):

Then we stretch the needle and thread through the lower 2 beads and the next third of the lower row:

Here's how I get it:

If you get a bead exactly above the bead, then you are doing everything right. Try not to pull the thread. Next, in the same way we make the third row of beads of the 15th size (I have the color "Gold"). Here's what you should get:

Now we need to close the empty corner by pulling the opposite sides with constrictions.

This method fits into our snail concept and even adorns ammonite.

As a result, we get this.

It's time to move on to preparing flower cores - braiding rivoli.

We collect 36 beads of 11th size (I used cylindrical beads of the color “Glossy Batik”) and knit the threads with a knot, form a ring.

An important point: Be sure to check the size of the resulting bead ring. It is very important that the rivoli pass right through the ring, but are not noticeably smaller than it.

And add 2 more rows of beads of the 15th size (I used the color "Gold").

We insert our rivol and bring out the working thread, lowering along the mosaic to the opposite side.

We make 1 row of small beads. At this stage, it is necessary to check whether our crystal flies out of the woven frame. If the stone holds well, then so many rows are enough, if not, then we add another row of beads of the 15th size.

In the same way we braid other cores.

Then proceed to embroidery autumn leaves. First, embroider the outline with a darker shade. Veins of the leaf are distinguished by beads of the 15th size.

Next, we “color” the leaf with shades that we like, sewing beads in the direction from the outer edge of the leaf to the middle. I will use shades of "Light Bronze", "Berry", "Mauve", "Smoky Topaz", "Antique Bronze".

The next stage: we sew the core-rivoli.

First, we take the threads from the rivoli to the wrong side and also tie a knot. For reliability, I still drip a little glue into the very center. Next, we sew the rivoli to felt for the lower (base) row of the 11th beads. Be careful!

In this way, we sew the remaining cores, begin to “color” the petals of our flowers and embroider the leaves on the other side.

An important point: Avoid spaces between sewn beads. Small beads of the 15th size are our lifesaver here! It is very convenient for them to fill in these gaps.

So, here we have it!

Neatly cut out embroidery, trying not to damage the thread.

Then we put embroidery on a doublet sheet, circle and draw another contour, retreating from the edge of approximately 1.5-2 mm.

Cut out on a new circuit.

An important point: doublerin will hide all the nodules of the wrong side and moderately tighten the embroidery. You can also use paper or cardboard. Less use of paper interlayer: high risk of creasing, which is especially visible when using thin artificial leather. Doublerin has a lower risk of creasing during bending.

Then glue doublerin to the wrong side of embroidery.

The next stage: we apply our embroidery to skin (I used natural), circle, cut, glue.

We cut off all the excess, the skin contour should be exactly along the embroidery, or protrude literally 1 mm. Let’s dry.

Next stage: edge treatment. We will process the edge in such a way that the bead lies with the hole facing out. This method is suitable because the embroidery together with the skin formed a sufficient height by bead measures, and this method is suitable to close the edge.

We hide the knot between the layers of embroidery, put the needle and thread on the wrong side:

We collect 1 bead. Then we pierce all the layers with a needle (next to the place where the needle came from):

We pull the thread, forming a loop, which we put on the finger:

We pass the bead with a needle “bottom-up”, pull the thread:

Next we repeat algorithm: we collect the bead, at a distance of about one bead from the previous stitch, pierce the layers with a needle, pull the thread to the front side and pass the bead “bottom-up” with a needle.

Here's how it should turn out:

We process the entire region in this way.

We sew the connectors very carefully, but firmly. With the help of tools and accessories, we make a chain with beads and rings, we fasten the lock and ... voila!

Here is such an autumn story we got!

You can use any colors, crystals and stones. Beads offer great opportunities for creativity!

I really hope that my master class will be useful to you, and everyone will find something for themselves.

Thanks for attention!

Inspiration and good luck in your work! 🙂

Think for a moment that each product created by your own hands is a peculiar language of communication. With each new authoring product, your vocabulary expands. Of course, you will not collect the same collection of words as in the Dahl dictionary (life is not enough), but you can express your feelings with ease through beadwork.

Today's beadwork workshop will tell you how to create a complex necklace with three cabochons and an openwork neckband with your own hands. The master class is designed for beginners who want to get a quick result and immediately do something grand. At one time, the skill of weaving from beads can not be mastered, but ... the main thing is to start.

To make a necklace you will need:

monofilament,
three cabochons (I took black agates)
black beads No. 10 and No. 8,
black beads
hardware
trimmings of genuine leather of the same color as the rest of the elements.

We trim the cabochons

Glue gems to the skin with rubber glue, leaving enough free space around each for lining.

Take a monofilament and a needle for beads. Having tied a knot at the end of the thread, we pierce the skin next to the cabochon, but not end-to-end, but at a distance of about 1 millimeter from its edge. We collect 2 balls on the needle and sew them.

The first row is sewn with a “back needle” stitch.

When the first two beads are sewn, you need to return to the starting point of sewing, thread the thread through two already sewn beads, dial the next two, sew them, again pull the thread from the beginning of the stitch and stretch the thread through the second pair.

Thus, the entire row is stitched around the cabochon.

After the first row is fully laid, you can begin to braid the cabochon and create a decorative frame for the gem. In creating the decorative frame, I used "brick" weaving, the sequence of which is presented in detail in the diagram.

To complete the cabochon sheathing, you need to dial five rows of beads. The last row must be well pulled, passing through all its beads a thread and fasten it.

We trim all three cabochons at the same time.

We will make the central decoration of the necklace a little larger in size by adding a line of large beads along the outer oval (I have it number 8). This additional row is sewn similarly to the very first ("back needle"), from which we started braiding the cabochon.

Now we carefully trim the sheathed pendants from the leather base, taking care not to damage the stitches and leaving 1.5-2 mm from them to the edge of the base.

To strengthen the stiffness, we glue the ovals obtained on the second layer of skin, laying a piece of cardboard between the layers. This constructive detail is described in more detail in the workshop “Brooch from beads with your own hands” in the paragraph “We give the shape of our brooch”, and therefore we will not repeat it.

The untidy edges of the base are now clearly visible. We will disguise them by wrapping them with beads. What should turn out is depicted in the illustration, and how to sew - in the diagram below.

Cut pendants (above) and trim ends of the base (bottom)

The scheme of the first row of finishes

Well, we decorate the edges a bit, adding one bead between every second.

The second row of trim pendants

Weave a neck tape

The second part of the necklace is an openwork necklace made of beads, which we will now weave. To it we subsequently attach sheathed cabochons. The illustration shows what the neckband is and what it will look like. The weaving scheme is attached.

General view of a fragment of the neck tape

Diagram of neckband weaving modules

A neck tape is a geometric mesh, essentially consisting of rhombuses, or intersecting diagonal lines. With dark circles in the diagram, I indicated the nodal points where the rhombs are interlinked. The weaving sequence is shown by a black dashed line. Large beads in the lower part alternate through one and are fixed below with small beads.

The diagram clearly demonstrates how many rows the weaving consists of and the number of beads involved in the formation of the rhombus. You can easily calculate how many total beads you need.

The length of the neck tape is individual. If you create a necklace of beads with your own hands for yourself, then check the length by applying the product to yourself in front of the mirror, but if you are giving someone a present, then you need the appropriate measurement. Weaving the tape on the eye will not work, because it can be either longer or shorter than it should.

Collecting a necklace

In the illustration we see that the sheathed cabochons are attached to the neck ribbon with bead threads. The balls are simply stacked on monofilament and sequentially attached directly to those beads that were used to fix the large beads of the neck tape. The amount of beads at this stage can be calculated according to the scheme, but you can vary it based on your needs.

The decoration is simple, but contains two layers. Red on the diagram indicates the first level, blue - the second, which we lay on top of the first.

The final step is to hang hardware and fastener. There are no special frills and options. Rings cling directly to the holes of rhombuses.

Tag: Beading

Hello dear masters. Today, I am pleased to invite you to a step-by-step video workshop on braiding cabochon with beads and beads. The decoration that we will do, I called the "Sea Wave". Pressed turquoise cabochon is enclosed in its central part, which we will learn how to braid and embed in such jewelry. The rest of the gamut is also made in shades of turquoise and blue, you can follow my example or choose your own colors, depending on your pebble.

This decoration can be classified as simple, and the master class will suit beginners as well. True, there are some unusual materials for a beginner, but I hope that you can do the search in order to practice beading the cabochon and make an interesting decoration for your summer look.

I really liked the “Wave” so we even organized shooting on the model

How will the lessons go

The creation of the Sea Wave pendant is divided into 3 lessons:

In the first lesson - (today) you will learn how to braid the cabochon with beads, so we get a beautiful central pendant.
In the second lesson - we braid the rivoli, for shine and complement the cabochon
And the third lesson is assembling a necklace. And yet, we will optionally make earrings)

Here is such a simple but interesting job waiting for you

Are we getting started?

Material for the lesson.

Beads:

Delica cream glossy No. 11
Delica cream blue No. 11
Miyuki Blue Mix No. 15

Video MK braiding cabochon “Sea wave”. Lesson number 1

How to braid a cabochon or any other oval pebble with beads?

In the lesson, we will learn how to do this in 3 steps:

The first step is to create a cup for the cabochon. a cup is a ring of beads that encircles a cabochon, it is woven using the technique of mosaic weaving with beads of two sizes.

The second step is the weaving of “cloves” around the cabochon; they serve as a decorative element of the pendant. These are several rows of beads woven using the Christmas tree or Ndebele technique.

The third step is to complete the braiding of the cabochon, we add rows and thus increase the “cloves”. Additionally, for contrast, include blue beads. And the gaps between the “teeth” are filled with beads of a contrasting color.

These actions will give a complete and spectacular look to the cabochon.

How to braid beads with custom shaped cabochons?

Today, we have learned to braid an oval cabochon, but other forms of stones are often found, which also look great in jewelry.

Here are a few lessons on braiding cabochons of various shapes and types.

Teardrop Cabochons

Not so long ago I launched the Adele course. on which we learned to create such an adornment from crystals of rivoli and beads.

The central element of this necklace is a drop-shaped rivoli, the principles of its braiding and decoration are identical to any cabochon of this shape. The method described in the course is not quite standard - there are also some of my copyright additions both in braiding and decorating such drop-shaped details. Therefore, you can arm yourself with the knowledge from this course, and give your teardrop-shaped pebble a wonderful look for your necklace or pendant.

Now you can purchase this course at a discount on summer.

Another option for braiding a drop-shaped cabochon.

Another interesting application of the cabochon in the form of a drop and a product such as “Dragon's Eye” jewelry is made entirely of square tow. And the stone is jasper.

Round Beaded Cabochons

The classic form of cabochons in beadwork is still round, I often use such stones for pendants in my necklace or pendants.

For example, a frill from Czech beads is the simplest weaving (as in this lesson) and an excellent result, it is especially worth considering that Czech beads look great in such an ornament, which means it will not be expensive.

And another decoration with a round stone from carnelian. And weaving itself like “fur” from Czech beads

Cabochon sheathing.Another great welcome!

Today in the lesson we learned how to braid cabochons, but there is another no less interesting technique for processing stones - this is sheathing. This technique is somewhat different from braiding and has a number of interesting features that will help diversify the design of your products.

i invite you to familiarize yourself with the sheathing on profile video tutorials.

In this technique, we worked on the following lessons:

“Jade”, One of the first necklaces by which I took a lesson and posted on the blog, although the video is a little outdated, the cabochon sheathing technique and other techniques from the lesson lesson are still relevant.

Necklace "Jade"

Nymph - there is a whole course for this product. On it, we learn to sheathe a cabochon, make mosaic tubes and work in mixed media with Japanese beads. As a result, you will get an impressive decoration.
