DIY Rondelle and Bicone Beaded Necklace Tutorial
Hey beautiful! ✿ It’s Gina from orchidandopal.com.

Of course, anyone can make this design with the right materials, so I have included a full list, with links, down below. This necklace design begins with a base of right angle weave (RAW) beading stitch, then additional beads are added to fill-in, and frame, the base. I hope you enjoy!

Dear Gina, I am going to make this. I will choose red, black, and gold for my first one. After, I using birthstone colours for the rondelles. This is exciting. I own all to you for your teachings.

So thank you so much for the tutorial 😊 Your tutorials are very clear and easy to follow and that's coming from a new bead weaver.

Did your rondelles have any scratches on the AB coating? I was just wondering because mine did but I love the color of them and it is beyond far my favorite subscription. As well as my one of my top sites on stocking up on more beads.
@ORCHIDandOPAL
3 жыл бұрын
Hey Ashley! Nothing that really stood out to me in an obvious way. I know the coating probably had some irregularities, etc., in some places, just due to the nature of that type of bead, and the quality being less than, say, Swarovski. I'm sorry yours had scratches! Do you think they would be noticeable within the piece? If they're really bad, reach out to support@beadboxbargains.com, and let them know. 💜😁

@@ORCHIDandOPAL on mine yes they were very noticeable but it was still way worth it to me without that strand so it wasn't a big deal at all. I loved the color of them though.
So excited to start this tutorial...can I use 6mm round bead instead of 8*6mm rondelle

Do you have a shop? Do you sell a kit fir this Necklace? This is gorgeous. But finding all the necessary supplies to make it all in one place is impossible. It's so expensive and time consuming to try to find everything at several different online shops.

Hi Debbie! I don't have a kit, unfortunately. I am hoping to be able to offer kits one day, but I am not quite set up to undertake that at the moment. I definitely understand what you mean about it taking additional time and money to source everything. This happened to come directly from the contents of a bead subscription, but I know that doesn't help others who didn't receive that exact sub. Thanks for your question, and for watching! 💜😁
