Beading Designs
Beads have become part of our lives, and these are used in various things such as the jewelry that we wear, or on other decorative things in our homes such as table mats, bed covers etc. The greatest part of using beads, is that you can get creative and create your own beading designs and decorate different things that you use. You can decorate a Hand Bag with beads, and thus making it really attractive. When you work with beading, you need to have patience, time and creativity. If your doing beading in a professional capacity, you need to be precise, so that your beading designs look neat and intricate.
If you've understood the simple basics of beading, you can work on varied beading designs, be it simple designs or more complex such as Peyote designs. Geometric and floral patterns are simple beading designs. Creating, animals or huge table cloths, is a lot more complex.
Majority of bead work is done with thread. However you can get innovative and use different materials with beads. Wires have become increasingly popular, mainly because its so easy and flexible to work with. Attractive hair pins and clips, with bead work is done using metal strips. To do this, you need to bend the metal as by doing this the beads don't fall out. Create a loop by attaching the two ends of metal. You can use aluminum strips, which are extremely thin and workable to create dangle Bead Earrings. If you stick both ends of the strips by folding one on top of the other, you can make beautiful pendants.
Beads made of glass or wood, or transparent plastic can be used to make bracelets. Bright colors make jewelry more attractive. You can also use large beads to make a chunky bracelets which are quite popular with teenagers. It's actually very simple to make a bracelet. Just thread some beads together, add a hook at the two ends of the threads, and you have an attractive bead bracelet. Using rubber instead of thread is also something unique and creative. However one thing that you need to be mindful of, is taking care not to stretch the rubber while your putting in the beads. Only when your wearing the bracelet, can the rubber be stretched. It's advisable to make a Rubber Bracelet by using the rubber that fits the size of your wrist.
Floral designs are another common feature amongst beading designs. Various flowers such as daisies, roses etc can be made. Also, you can use smaller beads to create small leaves, adding to the attractiveness of the beading designs. These can be rather complex, and you need to be a little patient while creating these beading designs.
Beading involves creating loops of beads or parallel lines of beads. The square, the peyote and the loom are the patterns that are formed. Designs are made from these patterns, which are then used in a myriad of different forms to create beading designs. These beading designs look rather complex, which is not really the case. If you use a beading kit, you can learn to create various types of beading designs. Or you can also copy existing designs to learn different techniques. While beading is relatively simple, it does require some practice and a whole lot of patience.

How to make colored hemp bracelets?
How can i show 3 different colors in a square knot Hemp Bracelet?
OH, and also if my hemp is too thick to Fit Beads, what kind of string could i use to put the beads on?
Would sewing thread be okay....?
PLEASE help.
Thanks!
xoxo
As for the colors-you can use rit dye to dye hemp! I do it all the time, that way you can get any color you want!
To make a bracelet have three colors instead of using three strands (one as the center and the other two as the outside) use 5 strands. For example if you wanted to make something Red Blue and yellow. One side would use red and blue, and on the other side you would use red and yellow. The center can be any color, since you cannot see it anyway.
As for the beads, instead of using just the same gage hemp as the center, use the hemp, and then a much thinner piece of hemp as well, or some string weave it into the hemp alongside the normal center piece that you would usually put the beads on. Don't use sewing thread, it isn't strong enough, and eventually the beads will fall off.
Hard to explain without pictures! good luck!
