~*~ The things you need ~*~

~ Fishing line or other thread~ 4 - 8 mm beads with large enough holes to put the fishingline through 4 times~ 10 - 6 mm christals~ 4 - 4 mm acent beads of choice~ 2.6 mm seedbeads~ 1 headpin

~ bent chainnose pliers~ roundnose pliers

Cut of a piece of the fishing line, 75 cm should be enough.

You start by stringing the beads in RAW, this means you string 1 crystal, 1 bead, 1 one crystal

and you cross the wire in 1 bead

you now string 1 crystal on each wire and cross again in 1 bead. repeat this until you

have strung 4 beads

Now you string 1 crystal on each wire but you cross the wires in the first bead ( as shown in the picture

on the left)

Pull the wires tight as shown on the picture on the right

String "3" seedbeads on each wire, (picture to the left) cross in the accent

bead of your choice (picture below)

Now string "3" seedbeads on each wire again and cross the wires in the next 8

mm bead

"3" you can also use 4 seedbeads this depends on the shape and size of the other beads

Repeat stringing the seed beads and the accent beads in this order until you

went completely round. Then cross the wires in the first 8 mm

bead you started with.

When you're done you should have one wire at each side of the bead.

You now go through 1 crystal, string 1 seedbead and go through the next crystal.

You do this until you have a seedbead between every crystal at each side.

Then string one wire through a bead to the other side so the two wires

can be knotted together.

When you are done pas the wire through a crystal on each side

in the same direction.

Put a little dot of glue on the knot.

When the glue is dry snip of the wire ends.

Now you string 1 seedbead and 1 crystal to a headpin.

Sometimes the gap between the 4 crystals is a bit big so I string an extra bead on the headpin, don't worry you want see it, it goes inside the beaded

bead

Next you string on the beaded bead, the headpin goes through the middle of the 4 crystals give it a gentle push so the extra bead goes inside the beaded

bead. Now you string on 1 crystal and 1 seedbead.

Take you bent nose pliers and bent the headpin in a

90 degree angle

Now your beaded baroc bead is done.

With your roundnose pliers make a single loop or a

wrapped loop.
