Hello, my dearest DIY friends, it's been a while since I shared my beadwork. Life has been like a whirlwind over here, in a good way, don't worry. And I'm happy to share this latest work of mine with you today; please come along, and I hope you love it.
A client of mine needed a white pearl flower vase, and here is the step-by-step of the whole process.
Materials used: I used 178 pieces of size 14 white pearl beads, 0.6 fishing line, and a pair of scissors.
Step 1:
I started by putting 6 beads on a 200 cm fishing line, tying the knots, and pushing the knots inside one of the beads to make the work neat.
Step 2:
I put 4 beads on my left fishing line and then crossed both sides with a fourth bead.
Step 3:
I continue to let my right fishing line through the next bead, then add three beads until I get to the last bead on this line.
Step 4:
This is the last step on this line. I let my right fishing line through the next two beads and then put one bead in my left fishing line and tied the knots. To secure the work, I had to tie knots at the end of each line.
Step 5:
I let my two fishing lines crisscross one of the first six beads. Then put four beads on the left fishing line and cross both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 6:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third fishing line.
Step 7:
I repeated step 6 above twice, and on the next step, I let my right fishing line through the next two beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and then tied knots to secure the work.
Step 8:
Before I start any step, I always make sure to pull the knots inside the closest bead to avoid them being visible. Then I went ahead to add five beads on the left fishing line and then crossed both lines with the fifth bead.
Step 9:
I continue to add four beads except for the last one, where I added three beads.
Step 10:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put four beads on the right fishing line, and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 11:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 12:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 13:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 14:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left side, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 15:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 16:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 17:
I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 18:
To finish up with this line, I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 19:
To start a new row, I put my right fishing line through the next bead, put four beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 20:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 21:
I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 22:
I continue to repeat step 22 above until at last I get to the three beads on the row.
Step 23:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 24:
I make sure the knot is well hidden in the closest bead. I pass my right fishing line through the next bead, put three beads on the left fishing line, and cross both sides with the third bead. Again I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 25:
I again passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 26:
I continued to repeat step 25 above until I got to the last part of the row, where I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
Step 27:
To start a new row, I passed my right fishing line through the next two beads, put three beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step 28:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 29:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 30:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 31:
I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put two beads on the left fishing line, and crossed both sides with the second bead.
Step 32:
To end this row, I passed my right fishing line through the next three beads, put one bead on the left fishing line, and tied the knots.
This is how it's looking. I will just go ahead and create the bottom of the vase.
Step 33:
I positioned both my fishing lines on one of the six beads at the top.
Step 34:
I added four beads to the left fishing line and crossed both sides with the fourth bead.
Step 35:
I passed the right fishing line through the next bead.
Step 36:
I added three beads on the left fishing line and crossed both sides with the third bead.
Step:37
I passed my right fishing line through the two next beads.
Step 38:
I added two beads on the left fishing line and then tied the knots. I passed my fishing lines around this row one more time, tied the knots, and trimmed off the excess fishing lines.Here is the final look. What do you think?
Just before making the bottom of the vase, I think it's cute as well.
The end🥰
