READER’S TIP
Instead of ribbon, I used
a clasp made from seed
and bugle beads to make
the cuff much easier to
wear daily.
VANDA NAGY of Kreuzlingen,
Switzerland, was inspired by the
gorgeous simplicity of Csilla Csirmaz’s
Corset Cuff (Beadwork, October/
November 2012).

MARLENA AITKEN of Wichita, Kansas, made a matching set of

jewelry by using the same colorway for three different patterns:
Csilla Csirmaz’s Eye on the Prize Bracelet (Beadwork, February/
March 2012), Tina Hauer’s Drop-Dead Gorgeous Earrings
(Beadwork, April/May 2012), and Cristie Prince’s Chain of Jewels

I’ve been envisioning a large, bohemian-inspired, bead-embroidered pendant
for some time now, and these metal pieces gave me the opportunity to explore
that with more than just beads. I painted the kit pieces with Vintaj Patina Ink
in aged bronze before stitching the window link, a brown labradorite faceted
oval, and Czech two-hole flat squares, bricks, and daggers to my Ultrasuede-
covered foundation. I used the smallest links to create two bails strung with a
simple but heavy leather cord.
As soon as I opened my kit, I knew exactly what I was going to make.
I knew I had to make a bead-embroidered angel necklace. I wanted to
make sure I featured every metal piece in the kit. The angel needed a
face of beauty, which I made of polymer clay, and she would be
trimmed in pink. I chose a mixture of different sizes of seed beads.
My inspiration is my family and friends.

I rarely work with metal components, so this kit was a great opportunity
to think outside the box. My first instinct was to use bead embroidery to
evoke or mirror the filigreed details of the components. After further
consideration, I decided the components would work better as delicate,
feminine touches on a bolder, edgier design. I selected red jasper
cabochons, black spike beads, and arrowheads for a visual counterpoint
to the delicate filigree. The piece is titled Warrior’s Crest.
Since I’m a beadweaver and beaded bead designer, this kit was challenging
for me. I’ve seldom worked with metal stampings and embroidery but
decided to use my unconventional methods. To the large crystal piece, I
added pink glass, green crystals, and dagger beads. I created a polymer clay
cameo. Elements circled around my board, sometimes in a frenzied dance,
until the focal piece was finished. I added beaded beads and other pieces to
chain, and Conjuring Fantasy was born.

 TECHNIQUES YOU CAN' T BEAD WITHOUT

stitch pro { CHENILLE STITCH }

Jean Campbell

MATERIALS & TOOLS

Size 11° seed beads in 2 contrasting
colors (A is lime, and B is pink in the
illustrations)
Beading thread
Scissors
Size 10 beading needle

We old-school beadweaving editors are usually pretty suspicious

when someone tells us they’ve discovered a new stitch. We look
down our noses and say, “There are really no new stitches, just
standard stitch combinations.” Well, every once in a while we get
a pleasant surprise. I was recently introduced to chenille stitch.
This technique might not be new and may also be known by other
names, but it’s truly worth noting. The resulting rope is probably in
that category of “standard stitch combinations,” since it’s just a com- Fig. 1: Ladder-stitching the ring
bination of tubular herringbone stitch and tubular netting, but the
result is so nice, I personally think it deserves its special name.

Round 1: Use 3' of thread to string 2A,
leaving a 3" tail. Use the tail and work-
ing threads to form a square knot and
pass through the 2A again. String 1A,
pass through the last A exited, and the A
just added; repeat three times to form a
strip of ladder stitch 1A high and 6A
long. Ladder-stitch the first and last A
together to form a ring (Fig. 1).
Try This
• Alternate bead sizes in each round
for a lacy, interesting rope. In the
bottom sample above, I’ve used
size 11°s in the tubular herringbone-
stitched rounds and size 8°s in the
tubular-netted rounds.
• For a completely different look, work
2 or more rounds of tubular herring-
bone stitch before you work the tubular
netting. The result is a smooth herring-
bone rope with pops of color (middle
sample).
• Speaking of color, you’ll take full advan-
tage of this technique when you con-
trast the colors in each round. This way,
you’ll see the little polka dots created by
the netting very clearly (top sample).
Round 2: String 1B, pass down through
the next A of the previous round, and up
through the following A; repeat twice.
Step up through the first B added in this
round (Fig. 2). Fig. 2: Stitching tubular netting in
Round 3: String 2A, pass through the next Round 2
B of the previous round; repeat twice.
Step up through the first A added in this
round (Fig. 3).
Round 4: String 1B, pass down through
the next A of the previous round, and up
through the following A; repeat twice.
Step up through the first B added in this
round (Fig. 4).
Fig. 3: Forming Round 3 with tubular
Rounds 5 and on: Repeat Rounds 3 and 4 herringbone stitch
to the desired length.
Final round: End with a Round 3 repeat.
Without adding any beads, form a ladder-
stitched thread path so the first and
final rounds match. ✦

Artists’ Tips
• If you want to be able to pull the
pendant section on and off the ropes,
make sure your clasp is small enough
to go through the bails.
• You can design the ends of the neck
straps with any style of beads as long
as the beads are large enough to hold
the bails in place.

spiky dangles
TAKING INSPIRATION FROM ART deco, these spiky
dangle components are quick to make and can be strung
on strands of beads or chain to become earrings or used
as embellishments for necklaces and bracelets.
1) BEZEL. Use right-angle weave to form a
cylindrical bezel for a spike:
Unit 1: Use 3' of thread to string 1B, 1C,
1B, 2A, 1B, 1C, 1B, and 2A, leaving a
6" tail; use the working and tail threads
to tie a square knot. Pass through the
first 1B/1C/1B to form a tight rectangle
(Fig. 1, blue thread).
Unit 2: String 2A, 1B, 1C, 1B, and 2A; pass
through the last 1B/1C/1B exited in
Unit 1 and the first 2A/1B/1C/1B just
added (Fig. 1, red thread).
Units 3–7: Repeat Unit 2 five times.

3) ASSEMBLY. String the top of the ear-
ring to the center of one 1¼" piece of chain.
Attach 1 ear wire to the ends of the chain
by opening and tightly closing the loop as
you would a jump ring (Fig. 7).
4) Repeat Steps 1–3 for a second earring. ✦
Artist’s Tips
• Use tight tension to form sturdy
dangles.
• As you weave through beads to
secure the threads, weave through
loose areas of the beadwork to
reinforce.
• Stitch several bezeled spikes and
the fringes randomly attach them to a
multistrand necklace or bracelet.
• For larger earrings, use 7x17mm
spikes in place of 5x13mm spikes.
Adjust the number of right-angle-
weave units and fringes as needed.

 Mix the playful texture of herringbone stitch with
Indonesian striped glass beads in this one-size-fits-
most bangle. Although the bangle seems to be made
with strips of flat herringbone that hold the accent
beads in place, it’s actually worked quickly in the
round. by Melinda Barta

otherwise, you might skew the

work (the first bead of Row 7). String 2A,
pass under the thread between edge
beads of Rows 7 and 9, and pass back
through the second A just added. String
1A, pass under the thread between edge
beads of Rows 9 and 11, and pass back
through the A just added. Continue
working brick stitch, following the pat-
tern in Fig. 4, for a total of 11 beads
(Fig. 4, green thread).
Fig. 4: Brick-stitching the clasp tab
Tab Rows 2–8: Continue working brick
stitch to form a tab 8 rows long (Fig. 4,
blue thread). Weave through beads to
exit from the center of Tab Row 7,
toward Row 6 (Fig. 4, red thread).
Snap: Check the bracelet for fit, then
securely sew the male half of the snap to
the inside of the tab just stitched. Start
12" of new conditioned thread at the
other end of the base and sew the other
half of the snap to the outside of the
base. Secure all threads and trim. ✦

 1) SMALL COMPONENT. Use tubular
peyote and square stitches to form the
small component of the pendant:
Round 1, Stitch 1: Use 6' of conditioned
thread to string 1E, 1A, and 1E, leaving
a 16" tail; pass through the bottom hole
of the second E added (Fig. 1, green
thread). String 1A; pass through the
bottom hole of the first E added, then
pass through the top hole of the first E,
the next A, and the top hole of the sec-
ond E (Fig. 1, blue thread). Tighten this
square stitch by pulling the tail and
working threads simultaneously.
Round 1, Stitch 2: String 1A and 1E; pass
through the bottom hole of the E just
added. String 1A; pass through the bot-
tom hole of the nearest E of the previous
stitch, the top hole of the same E, the
following A, and the top hole of the E
just added (Fig. 1, red thread).
Round 1, Stitches 3–7: Repeat Stitch 2 five
times for a total of 8E.
Connect: String 1A; pass through the top
hole of the first E in Stitch 1, the next A,
the top and bottom holes of the follow-
ing E, the following A, and the bottom
hole of the first E in Stitch 1. String 1A;
pass through the bottom hole of the E in
Stitch 7 and through the top hole of the
same E (Fig. 2, blue thread). Repeat this
entire thread path to reinforce (Fig. 2,
red thread).
Round 2, Stitch 1: String 1D, 1G, and 1D;
lay the strand diagonally across the last
E exited and pass back through the bot-
tom hole of the same E (Fig. 3, blue
thread). String 1D; pass through the last
G added. String 1D; pass through the
top hole of the same E, the next A, and
the top hole of the following E (Fig. 3,
red thread).
Round 2, Stitches 2–8: Repeat Round 2,
Stitch 1, to add a crisscross to each E of
Round 1.
Round 3: String 1E; pass through the last
E exited and the following A of Round 1.
Manipulate the E just added so it sits
perpendicular to the last E exited
(Fig. 4, blue thread). Repeat from the
beginning of this round seven times for
a total of 8E. Exit from the nearest
(inner) hole of the first E added in this
round (Fig. 4, red thread).

Rows 1 and 22 interlock like a zipper.
Weave the beads together to form a curved
seamless tube (Fig. 2, blue thread). Weave
the beads at the ends of the tube together
to form a ring (Fig. 2, red thread). Note:
This forms the bangle’s seam. Secure the
thread and trim.

2) STONES. Place 1 chaton into 1 setting
link of the chain and use the pliers to fold
all 4 prongs over the edges of the chaton to
secure it in place; repeat nineteen times
using the remaining chatons and
setting links.
3) CLASP. Use 1 jump ring to attach one
half of the clasp to one clasp loop; repeat
to add the second half of the clasp to the
other clasp loop. ✦

Pass through means to move the needle in the same direc-
tion that the beads have been strung. Pass back through
means to move the needle in the opposite direction.
F I N I S H I N G A N D S TA R T I N G
NEW THREADS
Tie off the old thread when it’s about 4" long by making
an overhand knot around previous threads between
beads. Weave through a few beads to hide the knot, and
trim the thread close to the work. Start the new thread by
tying an overhand knot around previous threads between
beads. Weave through several beads to hide the knot and
to reach the place to resume beading.
STOP BEAD
A stop bead (or tension bead) holds your work in place.
To make one, string a bead larger
than those you are working with,
then pass through the bead one or
more times, making sure not to split
the thread.
STRINGING
Stringing is a technique that uses beading wire,
needle and thread, or other material to gather beads
into a strand.
LADDER STITCH
For one-needle ladder stitch, string 2 beads and pass
through them again. Manipulate the beads so their sides
touch. String 1 bead. Pass through the last stitched bead
and the one just strung. Repeat, adding 1 bead at a time
and working in a figure-eight pattern.
HERRINGBONE STITCH
Form a foundation row of one- or two-needle even-count
ladder stitch and exit up through the final bead. String
2 beads, pass down through next bead in the ladder, and
up through the following bead; repeat to the end of the
row. Step up for the next row by wrapping the thread
around previous threads to exit up through the last bead
strung. To form the next row, string 2 beads and pass
down through the second-to-last bead of the previous row
and up through the following bead. Repeat, stringing
2 beads per stitch, passing down then up through 2 beads
of the previous row, and stepping up as before. The 2-bead
stitch will cause the beads to angle in each column, like a
herringbone fabric.
94 beadworkmagazine.com
94-95 Techniques feb13.indd 94
Begin tubular herringbone stitch with a foundation ring
of one- or two-needle even-count ladder stitch. String
2 beads. Pass down through the next bead and up through
the following bead. Repeat around the ring. At the end of
the round, pass through the first beads of the previous
and current rounds to step up to the new round.
PEYOTE STITCH
For one-drop even-count flat peyote stitch, string
an even number of beads to create the first two rows.
Begin the third row by stringing 1 bead and passing back
through the second-to-last bead of the previous row.
String another bead and pass back through the fourth-to-
last bead of the previous row. Continue adding 1 bead at a
time, passing over every other bead of the previous row.
Two-drop peyote stitch is worked the same as one-drop
peyote stitch, but with 2 beads at a time instead of 1 bead.
For odd-count flat peyote stitch, string an uneven
number of beads to create Rows 1 and 2. String 1 bead,
skip the last bead strung, and pass through the next bead.
Repeat across the row (this is Row 3). To add the last
bead, string 1 bead and knot the tail and working threads,
clicking all beads into place. Start the next row (Row 4)
by passing back through the last bead added. Continue in
peyote stitch, turning as for even-count, shown above, at
the end of this and all even-numbered rows. At the end of
all odd-numbered rows, add the last bead, string 1 bead,
pass under the thread loop at the edge of the previous
rows, and pass back through the last bead added.
Begin a midproject peyote-stitch increase by working a
stitch with 2 beads in one row. In the next row, work
1 bead in each stitch, splitting the pair of beads in the pre-
vious row. For a smooth increase, use very narrow beads
for both the two-drop and the one-drop between.
To make a midproject peyote-stitch decrease, simply
pass the thread through 2 beads without adding a bead in
the “gap.” In the next row, work a regular one-drop peyote
stitch over the decrease. Work with tight tension to
avoid holes.
For circular peyote stitch, string 3 beads and knot the tail
and working threads to form the first round; pass through
the first bead strung. For the second round, string 2 beads
and pass through the next bead of the previous round;
repeat twice. To step up to the third round, pass through
the first bead of the current round. For the third round,
string 1 bead and pass through the next bead of the previ-
ous round; repeat around, then step up at the end of the
round. Continue in this manner, alternating the two pre-
vious rounds. It may be necessary to adjust the bead
count, depending on the relative size of the beads, to keep
the circle flat.
For even-count tubular peyote stitch, string an even
number of beads and knot the tail and working threads to
form the first 2 rounds; pass through the first 2 beads
strung. To work Round 3, string 1 bead, skip 1 bead, and
pass through the next; repeat around until you have
added half the number of beads in the first round. Step
up through the first bead added in this round. For the
following rounds, work 1 bead in each stitch and continue
to step up at the end of each round.
Work odd-count tubular peyote stitch the same as
even-count tubular peyote stitch, but it isn’t necessary
to step up at the end of each round.
12/2/13 11:09 AM
 BRICK STITCH
Stitch a foundation row in one- or two-needle ladder
stitch. String 2 beads and pass under the closest exposed
loop of the foundation row and back through the second
bead. String 1 bead and pass under the next exposed loop
and back through the bead just strung; repeat.
To decrease within a row, string 1 bead and skip a loop of
thread on the previous row, passing under the second loop
and back through the bead.
To increase within a row, work 2 stitches in the same
loop on the previous row.
S Q UA R E S T I TC H
String a row of beads. For the second row, string 2 beads;
pass through the second-to-last bead of the first row and
through the second bead just strung. Continue by string-
ing 1 bead, passing through the third-to-last bead of the
first row, and through the bead just strung. Repeat this
looping technique to the end of the row.
FRINGE
Exit from the foundation row
of beads or fabric. String a length
of beads plus 1 bead. Skipping the
last bead, pass back through all
the beads just strung to form
a fringe leg. Pass back into the
foundation row or fabric.
NETTING
String a base row of 13 beads. String 5 beads and pass
back through the fifth bead from the end of the base row.
String another 5 beads, skip 3 beads of the base row, and
pass back through the next; repeat to the end of the row.
To turn, pass back through the last 3 beads (one leg of
the last net). String 5 beads, pass back through the center
bead of the next net, and continue.
94-95 Techniques feb13.indd 95
For circular netting, string 1A and 1B six times; pass
through them again to form a circle for the foundation
round and pass through the next 1B. *String 1A, 1B, and
1A; skip 3 beads and pass through the following bead in
the previous round to form a “net.” Repeat from * twice,
then step up for the next round by passing through the
first 2 beads of the first net. String 2A, 1B, and 2A; pass
through the middle bead of the nearest net in the previ-
ous round. Repeat twice, then step up for the next round
by passing through the first 3 beads of this round. Work
each round the same way, increasing the number of A
beads as necessary to keep the work flat, and stepping up
by passing through the first half of the first net.
For tubular netting, string 1A and 1B six times; pass
through them again to form the foundation round.
*String 1A, 1B, and 1A; skip 1B and pass through the fol-
lowing 1B in the previous round to form a “net.” Repeat
from * twice, then step up for the next round by passing
through the first 2 beads of this round. **String 1A, 1B,
and 1A; pass through the middle bead of the nearest net
in the previous round. Repeat from ** twice, then step up
as before. Work each round the same way.
PICOT
A picot is a decorative net, most often made with 3 beads,
used to embellish a beadwork surface.
WIREWORKING
To open a jump ring, grasp each
side of its opening with a pair of
pliers. Don’t pull apart. Instead,
twist in opposite directions so

For one-needle right-angle weave, string 4 beads and
pass through the first 3 beads again to form the first unit.
For the rest of the row, string 3 beads and pass through
the last bead exited in the previous unit and the first
2 just strung; the thread path will resemble a series of
figure eights, alternating directions with each unit. To
begin the next row, pass through beads to exit the top
bead of the last unit. String 3 beads and pass through
the last bead exited and the first bead just strung.
*String 2 beads, pass back through the next top bead of
the previous row, the last bead exited in the previous unit,
and the 2 beads just strung. Pass through the next top
bead of the previous row, string 2 beads, pass through the
last bead of the previous unit, the top bead just exited,
and the first bead just strung. Repeat from * to complete
the row, then begin a new row as before.
CRIMPING
Crimp tubes are seamless metal tubes used to secure the
end of a beading wire. To use, string a crimp tube and
the connection finding (i.e., the loop of the clasp). Pass
back through the tube, leaving a short tail. Use the front
notch of the crimping pliers to gently press the length of
the tube, causing the tube to form into an oval and the
wire ends to line each side of the tube. Move the tube to
the back notch of the crimping pliers and firmly press the
tube down, enclosing the wire ends in separate chambers
of the crescent shape. Rotate the tube 90° and use the
front notch to fold the two chambers onto themselves,
forming a clean cylinder. Trim the excess wire.Twisted
crimp tubes are added to wire and findings in the same
way, but they are secured by squeezing once with chain-
or flat-nose pliers.

This knot is the classic sturdy knot suitable for most
stringing materials. Make an overhand knot, passing the
right end over the left end. Make another overhand knot,
this time passing the left end over the right end; pull snug.
OVERHAND KNOT
This is the basic knot for tying off thread. Make a loop
with the stringing material. Pass the cord that lies behind
the loop over the front cord and through the loop;
pull snug.

“I have always enjoyed the hunt,” says jewelry artist Alice Sprintzen.
“There is something around every corner that cries out for fresh
consideration—a new context in which to reinvent the ordinary, making
it extraordinary.” As a child, Sprintzen developed an appreciation for found
objects by combing beaches with her parents, searching for tossed-aside
treasures. A self-proclaimed “technique junkie,” she incorporates a wide
variety of creative methods into each of her pieces.

life. We see glimpses of our own history
in them. I enjoy the element of humor,
which often presents itself in the juxta-
posing of diverse elements, to create
abstract as well as representational
pieces.

Q: Where do you find your materials?
A: There is no scarcity of materials for the
found-object jeweler. My eyes are auto-
matically drawn to the tossed-away and
mostly overlooked. Treasures can easily
be spotted at garage sales, flea markets,
antique stores. I have a scout team of
friends who augment my supply. They
delight in seeing one of their finds in a
completed work.

a Button, Not by Accident II.
Q: What makes found-object
jewelry special?
A: My jewelry is, by its nature, a state-
ment about society. It is, by implication,
pro-reuse and anti-consumption. It ele-
vates ordinary materials to diamond sta-
tus—at least that is the challenge. It is
about finding beauty and humor in the
ordinary.
Q: You have an entire collection of
pieces made with upcycled car parts.
What attracted you to these materials?
A: I first encountered broken brake lights
while biking in my neighborhood. I live in
the suburbs of New York City, and there is
no scarcity of this material on the streets.
The colors are limited to red, amber, and
clear, but the many textures and patterns
are there to be exploited. I also enjoy the
material’s transparent quality and its
light weight. Although extremely strong,
car plastic is easy to saw with a jeweler’s
saw (I saw through masking tape to keep
the cut line from re-fusing when the fric-
tion from sawing creates heat) and finish
with files and emery paper. I usually dull
the shiny surface with fine steel wool
because I prefer this softer look. It is an
amazingly user-friendly material, which
can be obtained at any car-repair shop. ✦
