Hello. Andrea here again for Beadaholique.com.
In this video
what I'm gonna show you how to do
is how to make
these
awesome
little orbs. These are
ornate beaded bead
using right angle weave
two needle method.
Let me first start by saying if you haven't already seen
the video how to make
the plain beaded bead
watch that first
before you try this one.
It's a little more complicated. It uses the same method but
it take a little longer.
So what you need
just like with the other video
are two needles.
I've got two big eye needles and I've got
about four feet of thread.
Smoke colored fireline size b
and it's threaded between
the two needles.
You are going to need I think about thirty
let's say four millimeters beads. You can use
Swarovski bicones or rounds. You can use
druks. I am using
fire polished.
You're going to need a seed bead in the 11/0 size.
So as with the other
beaded bead video
we're going to be building units of five. We're going to begin by building a
unit of five
seed beads.
So with my right needle.
I'm going to pick up
five seed beads.
Just like with the other
beaded bead
I'm going to take that last
bead
that I have strung and I'm going to go back through it with my left needle
criss-crossing my threads
I'm gonna bring this
circle of beads down
to the center of my thread
like so.
Now I have a little round of
five
11/0 beads
and I'm going to build
one of these units around it. This is a unit three four millimeter beads with
seed beads in between each.
So to do that
you have one seed bead.
What I need to add is
a four millimeter,
seed bead,
four millimeter,
seed bead
and one more
four millimeter
like so.
As per usual
take the left hand
needle thread it back through going the other direction
criss-cross.
Got tangled there
and pull tight.
So this is what
it should look like now. You one
of the larger units which consists of three four millimeters and
an 11/0 between each
and then one of the tiny units with five
seed beads.
Just like in the other video
I'm going to take my left needle
and thread it through
the left adjacent bead
which happens to be an 11/0.
Pull tight.
Now we're going to think of this little unit of five seed beads
as a central unit and we're gonna build
units around it.
So every time you see a single seed bead you're going to assume that eventually
four more are going to be surrounding it creating a unit of five.
Similarly anytime you see a unit three four millimeter beads
you're going to assume that
there's going to be another one adjacent.
So I'm building another one of those
four millimeter
rounds
adjacent to the central five
seed bead round.
So what I'm going to have to add
is
on my right needle
you pick up
a seed bead,
four millimeter,
another seed bead,
another four millimeters
because I already have
one four millimeter and one seed bead.
So this is just completing
one of those units.
Take my left thread
go back through the last bead
criss-crossing and pull tight.
Now we have two of these
larger units attached to that smaller central unit.
Once again left needle
through the left bead
pull tight.
You're going to add
exactly what I did last time
seed bead,
four millimeter
seed bead
and four millimeter
crisscross the last bead
with your other needle
and pull tight.
lets repeat that again.
Go through one left hand bead with you left thread.
Add the same thing you did before
seed bead,
four millimeter,
seed bead,
four millimeter,
criss cross on the last one with your left needle.
You're starting to see a little
flower shape sort of. A little dome.
You have one more
seed bead to attach to.
This is going to be the last unit so this time
to complete this round
I'm going to thread my left needle through not just the
closest left
but up through
that four millimeter
next to that to the left.
As you can see
to complete
this shape
all I need is
a seed bead,
a four millimeter
and another seed bead.
This time criss cross through the last
seed bead.
Now if you stopped there that would make an adorable little bead cap or just a cute little
element on it's own if you don't want to tie your thread off
but of course we are
creating
an orb.
I'm taking my left thread
going through
the next left bead here.
So now what I need to do is I need to build
a little five bead unit
of these 11/0 seed beads right here.
I already have two there
so
I need three more seed beads.
pick them up on the right hand side
criss cross through that last one
and pull tight.
Take you left needle
go through the next
adjacent bead to the left which happens to be a four millimeter at this point.
Now as you can see
for this round
in building another one of these rounds with the
three four millimeters
with the
seed beads in between each.
I already have
one four millimeter
and one seed bead
I need to pick up another four millimeter
another seed bead
one more four millimeter and
one more seed bead
criss cross on that last bead.
Okay
now this might seem difficult at first but once you get the hang of it
you'll start to see the pattern and
and it'll go much more smoothly.
Now that I
just made
that little
five seed bead round and then another one of the larger rounds
look what I have here, a beginning of another little seed bead round.
To complete this round
going to not just go through one
but I'm going through both of those to the left
with my
left needle
and complete this
round
all I need is two more seed beads.
Criss cross the last one
and pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
the next left bead which is the four millimeter.
Now to complete this unit
I need to pick up
with my right needle four millimeter,
seed bead,
another four millimeter
another seed bead
criss cross that last one
with my left needle
pull tight.
We're at a point we're gonna do
another five bead
small unit.
So I'm going to go through
the next two to the left.
As you can see got three
need two.
Pickup two small seed beads. One. Two.
Criss cross that last one with your left thread.
Left needle
go through one bead to the left.
With your right needle
pickup before a four millimeter,
a seed bead,
another four millimeter,
and another seed bead
criss cross on that last seed bead
pull tight.
Again
left needle goes through the two small
seed beads to the left.
With the right you're gonna pick up two more seed beads to complete that little
five round.
Last bead
criss cross
and pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
one bead to the left.
Your going to pick up a four millimeter,
seed bead,
four millimeter,
another seed bead.
As always criss cross the last one
then pull tight.
You're almost halfway done.
We're making
the last little
five seed bead unit
on this level.
Go two seed beads to the left with your left needle.
Right needle picks up
two
crisscross
the last one
pull tight.
Since this is the last one
the last unit connecting the top
half of this sphere.
This time
I'm going to go through
the next closest
four millimeters
and also
the next closest seed bead to the left as well.
I'm going to complete that round.
Now that I have a seed bead, a four millimeter and a seed bead
I'm going to pick up a
four millimeter,
seed bead
and a four millimeter
criss cross the last bead and pull tight.
Now I have this nice dome shape.
So here do we go from here?
Well
take your left needle
this time we're going to be building around
to the other side.
So what I want to do to keep that
concave shape
I'm going to go
to the left one
and to the left
two
with my left needle.
Right needle
picks up
seed bead,
a four millimeter,
and another seed bead and that's all you need to complete this round.
Criss cross the last one.
Pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
seed bead to the left.
I'm gonna make another
little round here.
So I have two
of my seed beads and I need three more.
Criss cross on the last bead and pull tight.
Take my needle
going to go through
the next left bead on the outside perimeter
another bead to the left on the outside perimeter which happens seed bead
and one more left hand bead
which is a four millimeter.
So now to complete this round
I need a four millimeter
with my right
and a seed bead.
Criss cross
and pull tight.
Now I'm at the point where I'm creating another little five
bead unit with the 11/0 seed beads. So I'm going to go
one to the left.
I already have two so I'm going to pickup three seed beads.
Criss cross that last one
pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
left four millimeter
also
left seed bead
and the left one more time
up through that last
four millimeter.
The right grabs
four millimeter and a seed bead
to fill out that unit.
Criss cross
pull tight.
We're getting there.
Going to complete another five bead 11/0 unit.
So go one to the left
with your left needle
pick up three more
seed beads with your right
criss cross on the last one
pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
left four millimeter
left 11/0
one more to the left
always on the outside perimeter
happens to be a four.
All we need to complete this unit
is a four millimeter and an 11/0
criss cross
on the last bead, pull tight.
Left
needle goes one to the left
right needle picks up
three more seed beads
to complete another little
five bead 11/0 unit
criss cross on the last one
and as usual
left needle
goes to the left through the four millimeter
again to the left through the eleven oh
again to the left
up through
that four millimeter.
Right needle picks up
a four millimeter
and a 11/0
You know what to do next.
Criss cross on that last bead
and pull tight.
Now we're almost there. I hope I don't lose my voice before
this video's over.
So left needle
is now going through
one seed bead the left
another seed bead to the left two seed beads.
We have three right there
and how many do we need in a unit? We need
to pick up five so I need to pick up one
criss cross
pull tight.
This time
left needle goes
to the left once
to the left twice.
You're going to pick up four millimeter
an 11/0
and another four millimeter
criss cross
on the last one
pull tight.
Left needle
goes through
to the left
through seed bead
to the left again through a four millimeter
and to the left again
through another seed bead.
Now as you can see
I've got this much of this unit done. So we need another seed bead with your right
another four millimeter
and that's it for that round
criss cross
pull tight.
Needle
goes to the left through the seed bead
left again
through four millimeter
left again
through a seed bead.
Right needle
picks up
a seed bead,
and a four millimeter
criss cross
pull tight.
Left needle
goes through the seed bead to the left
four millimeter to the left always on the outside perimeter
through the next seed bead to the left.
Right needle
grabs
seed bead,
a four millimeter
criss cross
pull it tight.
Left needle
goes through a seed bead to the left
four millimeter,
seed bead,
four millimeter.
Look, all you need now
is one more seed bead.
So let's pick that up
with the right needle.
Criss cross one last time
pull tight.
Look at that.
Not quite done yet.
This last
round of 11/0s
does not have a thread through it
and your threads are facing in the opposite directions. You want them to
face
one another so you can
tie in a nice tight knot. So I'm going to take my right
thread and go around
this last little circle here
all the way round
until I meet back up
with the left thread.
Tie a square knot.
One. Two.
We in the remained of both threads
throughout
the sphere.
Trim off access thread
and you are all done.
