0:00:07.169,0:00:10.849 Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com
and today I want to show you
0:00:10.849,0:00:14.500 how to cover a Nunn Design channel
bead core with
0:00:14.500,0:00:16.460 bead weaving.
0:00:16.460,0:00:17.770 It kind of fills in
0:00:17.770,0:00:22.189 the little lip there and it gives you a very
pretty bead woven bead.
0:00:22.189,0:00:27.099 So what you want to do is I've used a
basic *** stitch
0:00:27.099,0:00:29.000 to weave a piece
0:00:29.000,0:00:31.570 that fits
0:00:31.570,0:00:35.110 in between the edges of your bead core.
0:00:35.110,0:00:38.920 If you need to know how to do ***
stitch we have videos on how to do even
0:00:38.920,0:00:40.850 count and how to do odd count.
0:00:40.850,0:00:42.640 So you want to take
0:00:42.640,0:00:44.750 the beads that you want to use
0:00:44.750,0:00:49.280 and see how many fit across and whether
that's an even or odd number
0:00:49.280,0:00:53.800 and whether you use even or odd
count ***.
0:00:53.800,0:00:56.570 What you want to do is
0:00:56.570,0:00:58.390 weave a piece
0:00:58.390,0:01:00.390 that's long enough
0:01:00.390,0:01:03.320 to fit around your bead core.
0:01:03.320,0:01:06.390 I just kept checking to see
0:01:06.390,0:01:10.300 when it was long enough. Just kept wrapping
it around there to see.
0:01:10.300,0:01:12.970 And then you're going to zip up
0:01:12.970,0:01:16.570 your ***
0:01:16.570,0:01:20.840 which you also wanna make sure is that
your two ends will
0:01:20.840,0:01:23.930 fit together
0:01:23.930,0:01:25.390 exactly
0:01:25.390,0:01:28.630 where they come out on the side that goes
in on that side so that you can zip it up
0:01:28.630,0:01:30.680 to have it
0:01:30.680,0:01:34.020 look seamless.
0:01:34.020,0:01:36.220 So I'm just gonna start
0:01:36.220,0:01:37.330 by
0:01:37.330,0:01:38.440 bringing
0:01:38.440,0:01:42.240 my needle
0:01:42.240,0:01:45.360 through the beads that stick out on the ends.
0:01:45.360,0:01:47.730 I'm gonna keep it loose. I'm going to
keep it
0:01:47.730,0:01:54.730 quite a bit of space between there so that
I can put the bead core in after
0:01:55.020,0:02:02.020 Do keep it lined up so it doesn't
get tangled.
0:02:13.279,0:02:16.069 So assume as you come up
0:02:16.069,0:02:18.129 the last bead.
0:02:18.129,0:02:19.239 I'm going to
0:02:19.239,0:02:23.549 slide your bead core in
0:02:23.549,0:02:26.279 through the opening and
0:02:26.279,0:02:29.459 if you get a really good fit you might
have to actually
0:02:29.459,0:02:31.489 push the end beads in
0:02:31.489,0:02:34.939 and make it nice and snug.
0:02:34.939,0:02:37.689 Your just going to pull the thread
0:02:37.689,0:02:42.529 and your end thread might come a little loose
also
0:02:42.529,0:02:44.159 just
0:02:44.159,0:02:47.099 alternate
0:02:47.099,0:02:54.099 Until you have a nice tight fit
0:02:57.689,0:02:59.859 and then all you're gonna do it
0:02:59.859,0:03:05.069 is tie off and weave in your thread just like
you do with any bead weaving.
0:03:05.069,0:03:08.369 That gives you a really pretty way to
finish these bead cores.
0:03:08.369,0:03:09.489 You can use
0:03:09.489,0:03:11.119 these beads
0:03:11.119,0:03:12.789 anywhere where you would use a wide hole beads
now.
