‘Pearls among hearts’ necklace

Thinking of the next beading tutorial, I wanted to embody a few ideas in a single item:
- at first, I wanted to make a beaded item for Valentine’s Day,
- at second, I wanted to make an item of beaded jewelry and most of all, a necklace,
- at third, that beaded item should be quite simple and shouldn’t need complicated weaving techniques and a large variety of materials,
- at fourth, despite of the above mentioned simplicity that beaded item should be original, elegant and attractive.

As a result, I made a necklace with heart-shaped elements and pearl beads. I called it the ‘Pearls among hearts’ necklace.

To make this necklace I used the beading technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW) and a very simple range of materials:
- red color Czech seed beads of two sizes: 10/0 and 8/0,
- 10 mm pearl beads of white color,
- clasp for a necklace,
- nylon fishing line 0.2 mm thick and one or two beading needles (depends on the stringing method you use for making CRAW).

‘Autumn colors’ earrings

Today we will make the ‘Autumn colors’ earrings which make up a set with the bracelet that we made earlier.
We will need:
- two 12 mm round beads of red color,
- size 8 Czech seed beads of orange color,
- size 10 Czech seed beads of yellow color,
- two ear wires,
- nylon fishing line 0.25 mm thick and one or two beading needles (depends on the stringing method you use for making CRAW).

‘Autumn colors’ bracelet

Today we will make a bracelet out of seed beads of two sizes and large round beads. I called it the ‘Autumn colors’ bracelet. To make this bracelet, we will use the beading technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW).
We will need:
- 12 mm round beads of red color,
- size 8 Czech seed beads of orange color,
- size 10 Czech seed beads of yellow color,
- clasp for a bracelet,
- nylon fishing line 0.25 mm thick and one or two beading needles (depends on the stringing method you use for making CRAW).

Treble clef

To make a treble clef in the beading technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW) we will need:
- size 8 seed beads (I used seed beads of turquoise color, but you can take seed beads of any preferred color),
- nylon fishing line 0.3 mm thick and one or two beading needles (depends on the stringing method you are going to use),
- copper or aluminum wire 1 mm thick.

Beaded 3D heart in CRAW

To make a heart in the beading technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW) we will need:
- size 8 seed beads of red color,
- nylon fishing line 0.3 mm thick and one or two beading needles (depends on the stringing method you are going to use).

Pencil (a trinket)

To make a beaded trinket that looks like a pencil, we need:
- size 8 seed beads of yellow, orange and white colors,
- size 11 seed beads of white and black colors,
- fishing line 0.2 mm thick,
- one or two beading needles (depends on the weaving method).

A dollar sign

Today we will make a dollar sign using the technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW). This technique you can learn from the tutorials that are placed here (weaving using double thread stringing method) or here (weaving using single thread stringing method).

Cubic right angle weave (single thread stringing method)

Today we will learn the beading technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW). For weaving we will use a fishing line with one needle, so it will be a single thread stringing method of CRAW.

We will need:
- beads (you can use beads of almost any type and size, but for beginners I recommend to take seed beads of a large size; I used size 8 seed beads of two colors, green and blue);
- nylon fishing line and a beading needle (I used fishing line 0.3 mm thick).

Cubic right angle weave (double thread stringing method)

Today we will learn not a beaded product, but a technique of beading - we will make a beaded rope in the technique of cubic right angle weave (CRAW).
This rope can be woven from beads of any size, but for beginners I recommend to take seed beads of a large size.
So we will need:
- seed beads #8 of two colors (I used light blue and yellow colors),
- thin fishing line and two needles for weaving.
