2. Introduction
Do you want to look attractive, stylish and unique? Nowadays fashion magazines set new trends literally on everything: shoes, clothes, accessories,
jewelry. It’s not surprising that jewelry, made of seed beads, has recently become very popular.
Variety of colors, fancy forms and different textures, which you can match and
mix, will turn jewelry into masterpiece. But you will be mistaken if you think that beading with seed beads is a diligent and laborious work. There are a lot of
various techniques and simple methods available to create fabulous jewelry with seed beads.
These items of craft work will always look unique and glamorous, and what's more important they will be made by your own hands. You will be able to
create your unique jewelry, which will complete your outfit with its distinctive and glamorous design.
In this tutorial you will find comprehensible schemes, used by seed bead
jewelry designers in making simple and sophisticated items. We will explore these schemes on example of a particular jewelry item. You will then apply
these techniques while making your own items according to your fantasy and style.
You will also find photos of items and schemes with detailed instructions and
explanation how to make one or another jewelry item. Further to the above, each item has full description of materials used for beading of this item.
3. Few Words About Seed Beads
To make a new item you will need seed beads of particular size, thread or nylon thread, a needle, scissors, other findings (such as rings, clasps) and
some other instruments.
It is important to use seed beads of the sizes, described in the tutorial, for each
jewelry item. Choosing the set of colors is up to you, however. Sizes and colors are often specified on the package.
I advise you to use seed beads from one manufacturer, because same seed
beads type made by different companies are not always of the same size. We will also need special threads and needles, designed especially for beading with
seed beads. Their sizes are also specified on the package.
Other instruments and equipment, which you will need for making a particular
item, will be mentioned in each tutorial. You can purchase all the needed instruments and equipment at specialized beading stores. In case you either
face difficulties in finding such stores near you or you just prefer to order everything you need directly from the Internet, I've got a very convenient
solution for you. Instead of running around the city for finding all the required tools, I’ve provided you with an option to get all the necessary equipment
directly from suppliers whom I consistently order from.
This way you won’t only save your valuable time but you will also get the best
prices as well as high quality tools, which is very important for our kind of job. So don’t repeat my mistakes; don’t go and buy the cheapest tools and
equipment out there! It doesn’t worth it; believe me. I know exactly what I’m talking about since I went through it in the beginning of my designing career!
Invest one time in quality equipment and you’ll be able to use it literally for decades over and over again.
Anyway, in the end of the day, this is your choice which tools and equipment to
use and where to get them from. Go for whichever option you feel is the best for you. I just give you here an alternative way, which I wish somebody could
provide me with when I started.
Good luck!

Pearl Bead Turquoise Bead

Metal Spacer
Turquoise Bead Pearl Bead
2) Once you have your beads on your eye-pin, grasp the wire that is sticking out with your flat nose pliers, and bend backwards about 45 degrees. (Shown
Below)
3) Use your needle nose pliers to grasp the very tip of the wire you just bent.
Once you grasp the wire with your needle nose pliers, loop the wire around the needle nose pliers until it meets the other side, to create a loop similar to the
one on the other side of the eye-pin. (Shown Below)
Now set that piece aside.
4) Take one of your pearls and bead it onto one of your eye-pins. (Shown Below)
5) Using your flat nose pliers, bend the wire backwards approximately 45 degrees. (Shown Below). Now trim the wire leaving about a half an inch. This
will be used to make a loop in the next step.

7) Take the long beaded piece you created first, and use your flat nose pliers to grasp one of the loops and swing it outward to open it (Shown Below)
Note: Do NOT pull the loop out, as it will weaken the wire and make it
prone to breaking. Instead, swing it outwards to open it, and swing it back towards your body to close it.
8) Take your single pearl bead with the loop on one end and hook it onto the opened loop of the long beaded piece of the earring. (Shown Below)
