Nicole Beaded Ring
Mix a Swarovksi rhinestone bead and beaded spacer beads to create a sparkly ring that is not too overwhelming to wear all day long. This ring is created by working from side-to-side on the 8-loop base and the end result makes a lovely nest for the sparkly bead. There are no crimps in this design; super-flexible Soft Flex beading wire knots so easily.
Note: for photographic purposes we used silver wire with the antique brass beads. Match your wire color to the bead color for the best results.
Ingredients
- One 8-loop ring base- 1 Swarovski rhinestone ball
- 24 metal spacer beads, 3 mm
- 24 inches Soft Flex beading wire to match spacer beads
Tools
- Wire cutters- 527 Glue
1. Tie the Soft Flex beading wire onto loop C so that both ends are the same length. Thread one end through the rhinestone bead and then through loop F. Feed 3 beads onto the wire and then pass it through loop B and C. Feed 3 beads onto the wire and pass it through loop G. Pull wire tightly as you work.
2. Pass the wire through loop F and feed on 2 beads and pass it through loop B. Pass the Soft Flex through loop C and feed on 2 beads, then pass it through loop G.
3. Pass the wire through loop F and E and feed on 3 beads, then pass it through loops A, B, C and D. Feed 3 beads on and pass the wire through loops H and G. wire tightly as you work.
4. Feed 1 bead onto the wire and feed it across the ring underneath the rhinestone bead. Feed 1 bead onto the wire and feed it back across underneath the rhinestone bead. Feed 3 beads onto the wire. Feed the wire back across the ring and feed 3 beads onto the wire. Bring both ends of the wire underneath the ring, pulling wire tightly, and knot together securely. Place a small drop of glue onto the knotted wire and trim closely.
