Shape up!
Shaped beads, with one hole or two, have been all the rage the past
couple of years. Whether you love them or haven’t quite figured out howto use them, we think you’ll enjoy exploring the design possibilities of
shaped beads in this issue of B&B Extra .
Nichole Starman’s bracelet (p. 4) combines two-hole lentils and tiles in an
elegant look. Peggy Melton’s necklace (p. 7) adds two-hole daggers to a base
of SuperDuos for a playful and flirty collar. The SuperDuos in Sandie Bachand’s
bracelet (p. 11) add a bas-relief texture in a classic design. And Gail Wing’s
edgy bracelet (p. 14) shows that spikes don’t always have to be fierce. Now’s
the time to get in on the shaped-bead bandwagon — join us!
Happy beading!

so plan ahead to make sure your bracelet will fit.

hole of the C just added (figure 4, a–b).
Pick up a dagger (top hole), and sew
through the open hole of the next C
(b–c). Pick up seven color E 150 seed
beads, and sew through the next C
(c–d). Repeat these two stitches (d–e)
to add daggers and E 150s to complete
the row, ending with a dagger.7 Row 5: Pick up three D 150s, and sewthrough the other hole of the last C
(figure 5 a–b). Continue through the
hole your thread exited at the start of
the step (b–c). Pick up three D 150s,
and sew through the open hole of the

a charm, and seven E 150s, and sew

Finishing1 Cut a 1½-in. (3.8 cm) piece of chain.Add 8 in. (20 cm) of thread to one
end of the beadwork, and exit an end
pearl. Pick up a wire guard, and slide
an end link of chain into it. Sew through
the end pearl again. Retrace the thread
path through this connection, and end
the thread. Repeat this step to attach
a 3-in. (7.6 cm) chain to the other end
of the necklace.
2 Cut a 2-in. (5 cm) piece of wire, andmake the first half of a wrapped loop
at one end. Slide the end of the shortchain into the loop, and complete
the wrap. String a pearl onto the wire,
and make the first half of a wrapped
loop. Slide the clasp into the loop, and
complete the wrap.
3 Work as in step 2 to begin a wrappedloop and attach it to the end of the
long chain. String a pearl and the top
hole of a dagger. Make a wrapped
loop, capturing the dagger in the loop
and leaving enough room to attach a
few dangles above the dagger.
4 On a head pin, string a few beadsas desired. Slide it onto the wrapped
loop above the dagger, and complete
the wrap. Repeat to make two more
dangles, varying the beads as desired. w

Base1 On 1 yd. (.9 m) of beading wire, stringnine 110 seed beads with one wire end,
and cross the other wire end through
the last 110 added (figure 1, points a
and aa). Center the beads on the wire.
2 Work in crossweave stitch: On eachwire end, string two 110s, a 150 seed
bead, a color A spike bead, and a 150.
With one wire end, string a color B spike
bead, and cross the other wire end
through it (a–b and aa–bb). Make sure
the beads are still centered on the wire.
3 On each wire end, string a 150, an A,and a 150. On one wire end, string a B,
and cross the other wire end through it
(b–c and bb–cc). Repeat these stitches
for the desired length of the bracelet
minus 11 ⁄ 2 in. (3.8 cm) for the clasp.
Tighten after crossing through each
B, and make sure all the spikes are
pointing upward.
4 On each wire end, string a 150, anA, a 150, and two 110s. On one wire
end, string a crimp bead, and pass the
other wire end though it (figure 2, a–b
and aa–bb).
5 On one wire end, string eight 110s,and pass through the crimp bead
again to form a loop. String the other
wire end though the 110s just added,
and pass it through the crimp bead.
Tighten the beadwork.
6 Crimp the crimp bead. Pass eachwire though the nearest two 110s (b–c
and bb–cc), and trim the wire close
to the beads.
