Back to the twins

It seems that I cannot keep away! I love the versatility of them, I also love the shapes that they make, all-stars and flowers. Happily the weather was glorious when I started this and so I sat out in the garden. My idea of happiness.

Thread 4 twins onto the thread and make into a circle by going through the first one twice.

Go back around adding in a size 11 seed bead between each one.

Going through the top holes add in 2 more twins between each existing twin.

Add in a size 11 in a different colour between each of the newly added twins.

Now go back around and add another size 11 each side of the one just added as well as another twin in the spaces between the twins with no seed beads.

Go around again adding another contrasting seed bead in between the 2 just added.

 

You make a series of these and then join them together to make a bracelet…..pictures when I finish it properly. 😉

Twin bead diamond earrings

These are quick and easy to make. Forgive the turquoise and silver – colours that I always use.

Simple but effective?

Thread on 10 beads and make into a circle.

Through the top holes add on 3 silver size 11 seed beads.

Now add on 2 seed beads each side of the next twin, 3 single seed beads and the 2 each side of the final twin.

Go around the row again and this time add in three seed beads between the 2 lots of 2 seed beads. At the other end do the same but the middle bead should be a size 8 seed bead.

Simple but effective?

Simple and easy – what’s not to like?

One final earring pattern using twins

I am sorry if I am over dosing you on twin bead patterns….just one more for today, I promise.

Another turquoise set of earrings 🙂

10 twin beads into a circle.

Add in a twin in between each of the original round of 10.

Again, move up to the top hole. Add two more twin beads, size 8 seed beads. Continue this pattern around, back to the start.

Go around again, in between each of the twins just added, add in a size 8. At the last size 8 added in the previous round adding 6 size 11 seed beads.

Add the shepherd hooks to the loop just made.

Three patterns, all using twin beads. I shall use something different next time, promise.
