You can use any combination of beads you like (drill hole in beads must be big enough to accomodate 0.6mm thread) from seed beads to, probably, a maximum size of around 20mm to make it look right - but there are no rules and it really is up to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to your beads, you will need the following materials and tools: 1m of 0.6mm waxed cotton cord (colour of your choice); 2x silver-plated 8x4mm fold-over cord ends; silver-plated toggle clasp; 2x silver-plated jump rings. You will need some flat-nosed pliers and sharp scissors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Using sharp scissors, cut the cotton cord into three equal lengths. Take one length and make a knot 2cm from the end, then thread on a random selection of beads, using simple freehand knots at intervals of your choice. Continue until beaded section is 16cm long, then make a final knot and trim the cord at 18cm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Repeat with the other two lengths of cord, making the beading pattern different on each one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Squash all three ends of cord into a fold-over cord end, then plait the three strands loosely together, securing into place with second cord end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Attach a toggle clasp to the cord ends using 6mm jump rings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s it!

Through our vast, global network of suppliers, we&lt;br /&gt;have continued to work extremely hard to find you the best pearls at the&lt;br /&gt;best prices and have discovered some excellent suppliers who still provide&lt;br /&gt;great quality beads at a reasonable price! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that we can ensure the best deal for you and as long as you can wait a&lt;br /&gt;week or two for delivery, we are able to supply batches of 10 x pearl&lt;br /&gt;strands per order at a much lower price than if you purchased the single&lt;br /&gt;strands we continue to offer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know all too well the potential pitfalls and hazards of purchasing beads&lt;br /&gt;directly from overseas, so why not eliminate the risk of receiving poor&lt;br /&gt;quality or not-what-you-ordered beads and let us bear that risk on your&lt;br /&gt;behalf? We will ONLY send out beads that we&#39;d be happy to receive ourselves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a link to some of the products available to purchase in this way&lt;br /&gt;but it is by no means exhaustive. If you have a particular bead need or&lt;br /&gt;can&#39;t see exactly what you&#39;re looking for, please do just pick up the phone&lt;br /&gt;and call us on: 0845 224 0843 (local rate from a BT landline) or 01773&lt;br /&gt;520224, (Monday to Friday 9 til 4) or drop us an email:&lt;br /&gt;sandy@sand-stones.co.uk anytime, and we will do our best to get you what you&lt;br /&gt;need or advise you accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.sand-stones.co.uk/wholesale-beads-and-findings-c-128.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope that as one of the UKs best and most established beads and jewellery&lt;br /&gt;making suppliers, we can further develop our great and trusted working&lt;br /&gt;relationship with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.sand-stones.co.uk/wholesale-beads-and-findings-c-128.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to being of service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sandy x&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;www.sand-stones.co.uk www.boutiquejewellery.co.uk&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1062567259420852161/posts/default/7274692574669755706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1062567259420852161/posts/default/7274692574669755706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandstonesbeadsandjewellerymaking.blogspot.com/2011/09/freshwater-pearls-some-must-read-facts.html' title='Freshwater pearls - some must-read facts!'/><author><name>Sandstones, Beads and Jewellery Making</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17592834348976993870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='9' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9c0edHbpVAQ/S9gH051gTaI/AAAAAAAAAAs/UP2sAVpPvAM/S220/sandstones+5000.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062567259420852161.post-8257505873136379657</id><published>2011-08-26T09:56:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-08-26T10:38:39.048+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Flower shaped"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wrire wrapped bead tutorial"/><title type='text'>How to make a flower-shaped bead from crystal glass, oval beads...</title><content type='html'>Welcome to Sandy&#39;s jewellery making tip of the week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we learn how to wrap wire around beads in order to create a shape that can be used as a pendant, earring drop or whatever takes your fancy! This principal will work with almost any beads but in this case, we are using oval-shaped crystal beads to make a flower pattern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a fully illustrated version of this tutorial, please visit our website here: http://www.sand-stones.co.uk/page.html?id=15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Cut an 11&quot; length of silver plated wire and thread on a crystal oval. Wrap the short end of the wire back over the outside of the bead and turn the wire round the long end a couple of time to secure. Trim the short end so it&#39;s flush against the surface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Thread on a crystal and turn the long end of the wire back over the outside of the bead (leave a gap between the two beads of 5-6mm). Wrap the wire round a few times to secure, finishing halfway between two beads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Thread on a crystal and repeat Step 2, so that the third &#39;petal&#39; is between the first and second petals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Repeat step 2 to create the two remaining petals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Bring your wire to the front of the flower. You can twist the beads so that exposed wires are at the back of the flower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Thread on a small, flatish and contrasting bead of your choice together with a seed bead, so that they are sitting in the gap between the petals. Take the wire back through the contrasting bead ONLY, and pull all the wire through to the back of the piece. Wrap the wire in and out of the petal stalks a few times to secure, then trim the spare wire flush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s it!

Place the pendant / peg finding into some Blu Tack with the peg sticking upwards. Next, place a small dab of Beadfix glue (or similar superglue type of product) in the cup, being careful not to use too much!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Lower the half-drilled bead slowly onto the peg. It is advisable to have a piece kitchen roll to hand to soak up any excess glue that may be squeezed out right away. Be careful as glue will spoil the finish on the bead!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Leave until the glue has dried completely. The manufacturers&#39; instructions usually recommend 24 hours to ensure total bonding. To finish, attach the loop of the finding on the pendant, to the chain or cord of your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy!
