I called this bugle beads spiral necklace even though it can be made into either a necklace or a bracelet. It is somewhat similar to the Russian spiral and the African helix stitch. It is one of those procedures that I learned from nairaland forum. So get your materials and have fun beading:)

St. Petersburg Stitch is yet another one of those beading stitches that is easy to learn. You can use this stitch with different bead shapes and sizes to make your own stunning handmade jewelry. This leaf is usually done in two halves, and then attached. However, you can simply do the two halves with the same length of wire and this will help reduce the amount of wire used. Below is the regular procedure for the beautiful beaded St. Petersburg Stitch Beaded Leaf.

How to make an easy beaded heart using the double needle right angle beadweaving technique



This easy beaded heart can be used as a pendant or a pair as an earring. You can use different bead sizes and shapes. If you know how to make the double needle right angle weave , then this will be even easier for you to make. 

I have made this tutorial using two different colours, but you can as well just use one colour all through and just replace both "colour A and  colour B" with your bead of choice.

30 beads beaded ball


The 30 beads beaded ball can be used as a pendant, earrings or strung to make necklace. It can be made with any bead size or shape but it is advisable for a beginner to first practice with fairly big beads.

The ball is basically made in three rounds. 5 beads for 1st round, 15beads for 2nd and 10beads for the 3rd round.  I have used different coloured bead to make it easier to follow.
