Weave-Along Crystal & Bead Cuff (week two)

Cut in the middle of the warps connecting the two woven pieces.

Trim the loops off the other two ends.

 

 

Tie overhand knots with two warp bundles on left and two warp bundles on the left.  In order to make the knot snug against the piece, stick a needle in the knot and push it toward the piece.

 

 

 

 

Place the beaded piece on the piece of ultra suede and trim the ultra suede so it’s the same width as the beaded piece.

 

Dab glue for the entire length of the beaded piece.

Press the warp ends onto the glue.

Place the beaded piece onto the front of the brass cuff.

Dab glue onto the ultra suede.

Place the ultra-suede on the inside of the brass cuff.

Trim the ends of the suede so that it is about an eight of an inch longer than the beaded piece.

Sew the ultra-suede and the beaded piece all around the bass cuff.

Try to keep your stitches small and even although subsequent bead trim will hide these stitches.

 

Pick up three 11/0 beads on left over thread.  Or start a new thread if you’ve run out.

Sew through the ultra-suede and the beaded piece.  You will sew rows of three beads all around the piece.

Your finished piece!  Now do the second one.  And enjoy.
