0:00:07.100,0:00:10.879 Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com and
today I want to show you
0:00:10.879,0:00:12.929 how to weave
0:00:12.929,0:00:16.279 ultra suede faux leather bead cord
0:00:16.279,0:00:18.300 through chain
0:00:18.300,0:00:20.220 and what it's going to do
0:00:20.220,0:00:21.590 is give you
0:00:21.590,0:00:24.369 this really interesting
0:00:24.369,0:00:26.199 solid woven
0:00:26.199,0:00:27.679 piece.
0:00:27.679,0:00:31.140 This is what it looks like when you use a
round a rolo chain
0:00:31.140,0:00:34.370 like this.
0:00:34.370,0:00:35.970 The base here
0:00:35.970,0:00:38.760 this is what it looked like when I use
this
0:00:38.760,0:00:40.560 flat link oval
0:00:40.560,0:00:42.630 cable chain.
0:00:42.630,0:00:48.430 So you can play around with a different
types of chain that you use
0:00:48.430,0:00:50.670 and the different color combinations to
make it look
0:00:50.670,0:00:54.680 different but it gives you a really
interesting
0:00:54.680,0:00:56.270 kind of
0:00:56.270,0:00:59.350 piece to work in your jewelry
making.
0:00:59.350,0:01:02.720 bees you can see in in this one I've got
0:01:02.720,0:01:04.060 the links
0:01:04.060,0:01:06.370 extending pass the ends
0:01:06.370,0:01:11.050 and in this one I'm just using the woven
piece.
0:01:11.050,0:01:12.599 You just want to make sure
0:01:12.599,0:01:14.050 when you're going
0:01:14.050,0:01:15.840 to choose your chain
0:01:15.840,0:01:17.500 that your chain
0:01:18.720,0:01:20.400 got links
0:01:20.400,0:01:23.560 with holes large enough to accommodate
0:01:23.560,0:01:24.800 the cord.
0:01:24.800,0:01:26.730 So it's three millimeters wide
0:01:26.730,0:01:30.800 so you wanna make sure that you have
room for that and take into account
0:01:30.800,0:01:33.180 the space that the other links take up
0:01:33.180,0:01:35.050 in there too.
0:01:35.050,0:01:36.939 Another thing to consider is
0:01:36.939,0:01:38.660 how tight it's gonna fit.
0:01:38.660,0:01:44.250 This one has plenty of
room and its a little bit looser
0:01:44.250,0:01:46.080 this one is
0:01:46.080,0:01:47.180 a tight fit
0:01:47.180,0:01:50.470 and it gives you a really stable sturdy
thick
0:01:50.470,0:01:54.220 piece that will actually kind of keep the
shape.
0:01:54.220,0:01:56.020 You can play around with it and
0:01:56.020,0:01:59.540 see what you like.
0:01:59.540,0:02:02.110 I'm going to show you how to do it on
0:02:02.110,0:02:09.110 flat link oval chain here.
0:02:09.549,0:02:12.629 What I did was just start with a
0:02:12.629,0:02:14.599 piece of the
0:02:14.599,0:02:15.949 faux leather cord
0:02:15.949,0:02:19.699 much longer than what I thought I would
need
0:02:19.699,0:02:22.659 so that I wouldn't run out.
0:02:22.659,0:02:23.760 And then determine
0:02:23.760,0:02:25.530 how you want to use it,
0:02:25.530,0:02:32.150 how long your pieces of chain will be
and how many you want for how wide.
0:02:32.150,0:02:34.279 Then just
0:02:34.279,0:02:39.180 you're going to start by going through
0:02:39.180,0:02:43.779 the top link or if you want it just in
the middle then you'll go through the link
0:02:43.779,0:02:50.099 where you wanna start.
0:02:50.099,0:02:53.479 On this one
0:02:53.479,0:02:55.939 I had these long pieces of chain here
0:02:55.939,0:02:59.469 and I went through one where I wanted it
to be on this one.
0:02:59.469,0:03:02.340 I went through the top of all them except
I did have
0:03:02.340,0:03:04.119 a couple of
0:03:04.119,0:03:05.089 links
0:03:05.089,0:03:09.439 extending on the middle piece to use
for it to connect to.
0:03:09.439,0:03:10.829 So just make sure that your
0:03:10.829,0:03:13.189 going through the
0:03:13.189,0:03:19.469 link that you want to be when you start
0:03:19.469,0:03:21.499 and pull it down
0:03:21.499,0:03:22.629 to the end.
0:03:22.629,0:03:27.289 You want to leave the tail so it doesn't fly
off the end and you want to weave it
0:03:27.289,0:03:30.779 back in at the end.
0:03:30.779,0:03:33.639 So once you go through go ahead and
0:03:33.639,0:03:35.199 flip your piece around
0:03:35.199,0:03:39.729 and when you're weaving make sure
that you grab
0:03:39.729,0:03:41.349 the cord and you
0:03:41.349,0:03:44.629 pull it through with your fingers all the
way to the end
0:03:44.629,0:03:46.949 so that you know it's not twisted.
0:03:46.949,0:03:50.650 Depending on how much room you have if it's
twisted you might have to pull it out
0:03:50.650,0:03:52.690 and put it back in again
0:03:52.690,0:03:56.189 because you might not be able to get it to
spin around very well.
0:03:56.189,0:03:59.919 The next part is very important
because when you're going through
0:03:59.919,0:04:02.789 your chain links you want to make sure
that you're going through all in
0:04:02.789,0:04:04.279 the same direction
0:04:04.279,0:04:05.929 so they we'll stagger
0:04:05.929,0:04:09.039 forty five degrees pointed left
poined right pointed left pointed
0:04:09.039,0:04:12.859 right but they all need to go in the
same direction. It's easier to see
0:04:12.859,0:04:13.879 on this one
0:04:13.879,0:04:15.230 the way that they
0:04:15.230,0:04:21.619 all point that way and then they all
point that way.
0:04:21.619,0:04:22.590 If your
0:04:22.590,0:04:26.190 chain has more room you might be able to
get your cord through more than one at
0:04:26.190,0:04:27.259 a time.
0:04:27.259,0:04:31.370 If it's a little bit more snug you might
need to pull
0:04:31.370,0:04:32.530 through
0:04:32.530,0:04:34.169 one link at a time
0:04:34.169,0:04:37.099 and you can pull through a few inches
0:04:37.099,0:04:40.150 and keep working.
0:04:40.150,0:04:42.160 Just make sure that there are
0:04:42.160,0:04:49.160 going through and facing the same way.
0:04:56.849,0:04:58.879 Once you go through
0:04:58.879,0:05:02.449 the last link
0:05:02.449,0:05:05.659 grab the links firmly so that
0:05:05.659,0:05:07.899 they stay together when you pull
0:05:07.899,0:05:13.360 your cord through.
0:05:13.360,0:05:15.539 You can
0:05:15.539,0:05:17.210 pull it really tight
0:05:17.210,0:05:19.929 to condense the links down. They'll lay flat
0:05:19.929,0:05:22.360 and so they'll condense really close
together
0:05:22.360,0:05:26.810 like I did with these with this one I
did leave a little bit of room so that it
0:05:26.810,0:05:30.649 wasn't totally squished in as
small as it could be.
0:05:30.649,0:05:34.159 So you can decide that too on
how
0:05:34.159,0:05:37.819 close you want your chains to lay
together
0:05:37.819,0:05:40.969 You're going to flip it over
0:05:40.969,0:05:45.939 and go back through the other way
0:05:45.939,0:05:47.789 you can see that
0:05:47.789,0:05:48.999 this time
0:05:48.999,0:05:51.949 the links are laying the other way.
0:05:51.949,0:05:55.479 This one is going to the left and
this one they're going to go to the right.
0:05:55.479,0:05:58.889 Again just go
0:05:58.889,0:06:05.889 all the way through.
0:06:10.419,0:06:13.270 And make sure as you're going through your
links that you
0:06:13.270,0:06:15.749 pull the rest of the chain down so that
0:06:15.749,0:06:16.750 the next link
0:06:16.750,0:06:19.340 sits below you
0:06:19.340,0:06:21.639 cood there.
0:06:21.639,0:06:28.639 That will help it lay flat when it's all done.
0:06:30.139,0:06:34.479 On this kind of chain where your
holes are oval
0:06:34.479,0:06:37.639 I have the cord laying flat
0:06:37.639,0:06:39.719 along the length of the chain.
0:06:39.719,0:06:43.749 You can also see that on the rolo chain
where the links are round
0:06:43.749,0:06:46.340 and there is less room
0:06:46.340,0:06:47.549 along the length
0:06:47.549,0:06:48.889 I have the
0:06:48.889,0:06:49.819 suede
0:06:49.819,0:06:51.099 going through
0:06:51.099,0:06:53.100 vertically through that hole
0:06:53.100,0:06:58.229 so it gives it a different look that way too.
0:06:58.229,0:06:59.509 So you can see
0:06:59.509,0:07:00.809 you're starting to get
0:07:00.809,0:07:03.319 that woven
0:07:03.319,0:07:08.019 look and all you would do is keep flipping
it over and working it back and forth
0:07:08.019,0:07:10.080 through the links in the chain.
0:07:10.080,0:07:14.329 Then all I did to finish this off
was I flipped it to the back
0:07:14.329,0:07:15.849 and I
0:07:15.849,0:07:19.339 skipped the first link
0:07:19.339,0:07:24.509 took my cord through the next link
0:07:24.509,0:07:28.759 and I pulled it down and added just a
dab of E6000 glue here and
0:07:28.759,0:07:29.710 tightened it.
0:07:29.710,0:07:32.849 I did a couple more links in the
same way.
0:07:32.849,0:07:34.919 You can see that it does double back
0:07:34.919,0:07:36.789 about half way.
0:07:36.789,0:07:41.399 It's glue down nice and tight. It's
not going anywhere.
0:07:41.399,0:07:42.669 We can
0:07:42.669,0:07:46.599 use these woven pieces for
0:07:46.599,0:07:48.339 anything you can imagine
0:07:48.339,0:07:50.169 It's very versatile
0:07:50.169,0:07:50.699 and that's how you do it.
