Hugs and Kisses Beaded Ring Tutorial

[beadiful nights]

I'm so excited I am Craftster's best of 2011. Alright back to what I came here for this is my newest video tutorial. I think it is my best so far this is just one of my beaded rings that I make. There aren't many good beaded ring tutorials on the internet so I wanted to share one of my designs. If you are a beginner you can make this. Please comment I would like to here from you guys. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZQ25T-LfNw&feature=related

Materials needed:
3ft. of 10lb. test monofilament fishing
1-7mm or 8mm bead for center
2-5mm or 6mm beads for the sides
4-3mm round beads for top and bottom
2-6 aught seedbeads
11 aught seedbeads in two colors

Here is the tutorial link to make the matching bracelet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f9nznt1eSk&feature=channel_video_title
This is the matching Hugs and Kisses ring that goes with the bracelet.

So pretty!! I haven't done much beading like this but I'll be checking out the tute!

[SiFi Mom]

Great tutorial, I would highly recommend it to anyone, even new beaders will be able to follow this. You're instructions are clear, with good camera angles so I can see what you are doing.

[beadiful nights]

Thank you so much everyone your comments mean a lot.

[Treacle]

That ring is gorgeous and your tutorial is fantastic too.

What a wonderful tutorial!

Here's what I was able to make, thanks to your video

Appreciatively,
~CD~

p.s. Foolishly, I did not take adequate heed of your aptly placed warning that embellishing the band would significantly decrease the size. It just barely fits on my ring finger. I think I may wear it as a pinky ring. Even cooler!

[beadiful nights]

Your ring turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for posting your picture.
The ring band is a little tricky. After you finish the band before you add the two seedbeads in between each bead. Make sure it is at least two sizes to big. I'm working on a bracelet tutorial that matches this ring I don't know when I will be done with it. I will post it here when I am.

These are so fun to make, that I couldn't stop with just one. Here are a few more. I'd love to make a bracelet to match the blue/silver one. Maybe a few of the ring "bases" with short stretches of the band between would do the trick?

Thanks again for the great tutorial,
~CD~

WOW! You are so amazing they are beautiful. I am done with my bracelet tutorial I named the design, "Hugs and Kisses Beaded Bracelet Tutorial".
Just go to my channel and you'll see it on the front page. Later I will post the link, pictures and the materials list for the bracelet tutorial. Thank you for posting more pictures I love seeing what others can do with my designs.

[crazydoc]

Just ONE more. It's my all time favorite.

I can hardly wait to see your bracelet tutorial. I know it's gonna rock!

Fucking sweet. I've always wanted to get into bead weaving but most of the beginner projects leave me cold. Either too dorky or too ugly, KWIM? Thanks for the tutorial; I'll be making this come this weekend.

First one  looks much trendy because of its color combination. Center bead giving extra effect to this piece. But all three pieces are pretty. I think I should try this in holidays.

Your very welcome. If you make this ring and like it you should try the matching bracelet. It isn't much harder.

Thank you! This ring is addictive once you make one you will want more.

Thanks for sharing, they are delicate and pretty.

[Kittysafe]

That is so cool!  I wanna make these for gifts for my sister's kids now.

[beadiful nights]

Oh my gosh! Thank you craftster for putting my video in my post that is so awesome! Moderator how do you embed the video is that something that only you can do? I would love to do this to all my video tutorials so it is easier to view.

[beads-beads-beads]
