DIY How can I make a 2 drop peyote bracelet?

Hi There.....Are you creative? 

I am way too creative for my own good.....There is not enough time for me to do all the things I love to do. 

At the moment I am most into beading and since I haven't done so before.....I thought this might be a great time to share a beading pattern with you 😊

Pattern 2 drop peyote (18 cm or 7.09 inch)

It is best to use Toho or Miyuki beads size 11 to get the best results

You'll need a slide clasp that is approximately the same width, or slightly more narrow than your bracelet band.

  1. Pick up a bead and go through it again to make a knot. This will be your stop bead. 

  2. Pick up another 11 beads so that you have 12 in total (stop bead included).
    This will be your first row, and you now are starting your second row. 

  3. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 3rd and 4th bead of the first row.

  4. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 7th and 8th bead of the first row. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 11th and 12th bead of the first row (as shown on the image below).
  5. The second row is ready now and you are starting the 3rd row now. 

  6. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 3rd and 4th bead of the second row.

  7. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 7th and 8th bead of the second row.

  8. Pick up 2 beads and pass your needle through the 11th and 12th bead of the second row. (as shown in the image below).
  9. Repeat this pattern until you have a length of 16.5 cm or 6.50 inch. Make sure to always pull tight your wire to get nice and even beadwork. 

  10. Attach the slide clasp by picking up 2 beads and pass through the first metal ring on the clasp from front to back. Pick up another 2 beads and pass through the 3rd and 4th bead of your end row (as shown on the image below).
  11. Pick up 2 beads and go through the second metal ring on the clasp from front to back. 

  12. Pick up another 2 beads and pass through the 7th and 8th bead of your end row. 

  13. Pick up 2 beads and go through the third metal ring on the clasp from front to back.

  14. Pick up another 2 beads and pass through the 11th and 12th bead of your end row.
    Make sure to pull your wire tight to make the closure fit tight. (as shown in the image below).
  15. Pass through these last beads and metal rings again in the opposite direction to make sure the thread is secure. 

  16. Attach the clasp on the other end the same way you did on the first end of the bracelet. 
And finished.....It's that simple 😋

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Pre-Summer Sale at BeadworkSeadbeady

Hi There.....Are you enjoying the sun out there?

I am but it's still a bit cold here in Belgium. But that didn't hold me back to buy me a new dress yesterday 😀

And that was not the only thing, I also bought a summer blouse and a pair of pants.

But as I was thinking of summer coming soon, I was also thinking that it has been a long time ago since I had a sale in my shop. So I decided to make a pre-summer sale with a discount of 15% for a minimum purchase of 30 Euro.

Also, am trying out new pictures as my main picture on Etsy to stand out more from the crowd and give a hint on how my jewelry is made.

What do you think does this picture make it clear that my jewelry is made with thread 😨


So what do you think do you like the one above better or this one below.....the one I used before 😮

Please let me know what you think.....I would so love to have some feedback or suggestions from you on how to do better 😃

Did you know it is better to spread putting on new listings over a few days if you can and not put them all on the same day?

It is also important to give shop updates on a regular base like at least once every 2 or 3 days so I've heard. You can use photos from your workspace or a picture of some work in progress or maybe some tips on how to use your items 😊

Another thing that people doubt if it makes a difference is the description of your item. Not everyone may read all the things you put into this.....but it may be important for the few people that are genuinely interested.

So this may be a great time to show you what's new in my shop and what is still to come. Below are 2 items I still need to list in my shop.




And here are some new things that I have already listed in my Etsy BeadworkSeadbeady shop 

Romantic Necklace, Extravagant Jewelry for Her


Beadwork Necklace, Autumn Necklace for Women


Best Selling Jewelry, Lightning Necklace Gift for Her


Beadwork Necklace, Autumn Necklace


So let me know what you think of my beadwork jewelry pieces.....and if you do take a look at my shop, let me know what you think I should make more of in the future. I am always curious to know what other people think 😉

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend

Fortuneteller Bangle

Hi There.....Do you like new things?

A few weeks ago someone asked me if I could make a kind of bracelet, like the picture she sent me. It looked real complicated so I told her I wasn't sure I would be able to do that 😧

Then she sent me all kinds of things she found on internet. So I started to google some things and came across the book of Kate McKinnon - Contemporary Geometric Beadwork.

I was so intrigued that I ordered both books on contemporary geometric beadwork. Me and my customer both agreed I would make the Fortuneteller Bangle in the colors purple and pink 😅

I must say that I had to read the pattern more than once to be sure to get it right. That may also be because my native tongue is Dutch and the book was in English. But I managed to make it and was real happy with myself.

Here are some pictures of the one I made 😃





So let me know what you think of it. Would you wear this kind of bracelet? Or would you like to try and make this yourself?
I am gonna make more of those in the future for sure :)

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy

Hi There.....Are you also craving for Spring?

Actually it just turned colder again, and back to night frost here in Belgium. I am sooo longing for spring. I hate the cold in winter. Thick coats and scarves and sweaters. I do love boots though.

Ah spring, flowers blooming and sunshine and birds singing. What is not to like about spring 😊

I must say this year I am looking forward to it more than usual. With my new knee and finally loosing some weight.......I am hoping to be able to get out there a bit more and enjoy some walks in the country or be able to go to the zoo with my granddaughter.

So I was hoping to inspire you all with some fresh new Etsy spring finds.

Introducing to you - Seadbeady

Hi There..... Lately I have been introducing you to some lovely Etsy shops..... But then I was thinking that I actually haven't introduced my own Seadbeady shop to you 😲

I have told you earlier how I got to be a seedbeadaholic. It all started when I started getting a lot of physical health problems. Bad back for the most part, but also problems in lots of my joints with bad cartilage.

Up until 2008 music was a big part of my life. I was a singer in a choir for 4 years and lead singer in a band for 2 years. I was taking piano lessons and singing lessons in the meantime. But my problems forced me to find another pass time.

So that made me to the passionate beader I am today. Hardly any day goes by without me giving in to my seed bead addiction. It's not so much the bigger beads but the tiny seed beads I mostly work with.

In the beginning I worked with patterns off course. But as I developed more skills my mind started to go crazy. It woke me up in the middle of the night with new patterns that just appeared in my head. And the weird thing is I still remembered them next morning. I never put anything on paper but I just started working and 9 times out of 10 it came out the way I imagined it to be.

That's how it was in the beginning and still is at the moment except for the fact that I don't wake up from the many patterns in my brain anymore. I still regularly use patterns from others, because they inspire me to make my own.

So let me show you some of my very own creations

Statement Women Gift, Statement Women Necklace



Ethnic Bracelet, Delicate Beadwork Statement Bracelet



Statement Beadwork Jewelry, Romantic Beadwork Embroidered Jewelry



Blue Green Womans Necklace, Geometric Beaded Jewelry



Red Beadwork Jewelry Flower Bracelet for Her, Elegant Wife Gift



Christmas Tree Ornament, Holiday Decor, Simple Womans Gift



Tassel Jewelry Bead Rope Womans Necklace, Purple Jewelry for Her



Statement Bead Rope Womans Chic Jewelry, Best Rope Necklaces



Statement Unique Womans Jewelry Beaded Bracelet for Wife



Ring Bearer Box, Wedding Ring Gift Box, Home Decor for Wife



So what do you think of my jewelry? Would really love to know 😃
I sometimes wonder what you would like to see more of .....Is there something I should focus more on? Or make more of? 

I hope you enjoyed my blogpost for today.........Until next time......... Have a great day
