[Tutorial] Andreth
Tutorial : Andreth
Level : Beginner
Technique : Crossweaving
Equipment :
- Swarovski crystal bicone 4mm. (Bronze shade)
- Swarovski pearl 4mm. (White)
- Seed bead 11/0 (Miyuki Silver-line gold)
- Jumprings and clasp
- Nylon thread no. 25
- Optional - Swarovski crystal bicone 3mm. (Erinite AB2X)
If you want something simple and flat bracelet, you don't have to add bicone 3mm. to your equipment list.
Andreth was the only human lady in Tolkien's world, who was deeply in love with the Elf-lord Aegnor. The love was returned but never fulfilled.
1.
On the comfortable length of thread, add three crystals and cross the threads at the crystal (red arrow).
2.
Add one seed bead, one pearl and one seed bead to each thread. Cross both threads at a crystal (red arrow).
3.
Add one crystal or each thread. Cross both threads at a crystal (red arrow).
4.
Repeat step 2 and 3 until to you reach the desired length.
5.
Now, we are going to make a u-turn. On the last ring, cross the threads at the crystal (red arrow).
6.
We will share the same inner seed bead. Pick up the left thread. Put the thread into the seed bead (red arrow). Add one pearl and one seed bead.
Pick up the other thread. Add one seed bead, one pearl and one seed bead.
Cross both threads at a crystal (blue arrow).
7.
Add two crystals to the right thread. Cross both threads at a crystal (red arrow).
8.
Again, we share the same inner seed bead. Put the inner thread into the seed bead (red arrow). Add one pearl and one seed bead.
Add one seed bead, one pearl and one seed bead to the other thread.
Cross both threads at a crystal (blue arrow).
9.
And we continue with the same style we did in step 2 and 3. Repeat it until you get the same matching pair with the first row.
10.
We will join the matching pair at the beginning of the bracelet. Cross the threads at the crystal (red arrow).
11.
Add one seed bead, one pearl and one seed bead to the left thread. Put the thread at the crystal (red arrow).
12.
Put the thread into the seed bead on each side (red arrows). Cross the threads at a pearl (blue arrow).
You should notice by now that we share the same inner seed beads for the middle row.
13.
Put the thread into the pearl on each side (red arrow). Cross the threads at the pearl (blue arrow).
14.
This step is optional if you do not want to add this small flower. Just skip to step 16.
Add 3mm. crystal to each thread. Cross both threads at a seed bead (red arrow).
Add 3mm crystal to each thread. Cross both threads at a pearl (blue arrow).
15.
Put the thread into the pearl on each side. Cross both threads at a pearl (red arrow).
16.
Put the thread into the seed bead, crystal and seed bead (red arrows). Do the same to the other thread too. Then, cross both threads at a pearl (blue arrow).
17.
Put the thread into the pearl on each side (red arrows). Cross both threads at a pearl (blue arrow).
Repeat step 14 to 17 to the rest of the bracelet.
18.
I have no creative idea for a clasp so I just use simple jumprings and magnetic ball clasp.
Done!
Feel free to play with colors and beads. I think it must look good on all pearls or all crystals or maybe with czech fire polished too.
I hope you like it. Happy beading~!
