Make Swarovski Beads Ring for Her on Valentine’s Day

Romantic Valentine’s Day is not far away. Are you thinking about creating a special jewelry gift for her on that day but still have no good idea? No worry. Here I share you a great jewelry design about making a ring by Swarovski beads.

Materials:
2 x Beading Needles
Crystal Thread
3mm and 4mm Swarovski Beads (About the colors, you can choose whatever you like. Three colors for each size.)
Clear Seed Beads
1 x 8mm Mounted Glass Crystal Bead

Instruction:
Step 1: Thread a needle on either side of a crystal thread with 1.5mm width.

Step 2: Start by picking up six 3mm Swarovski beads. About the colors, you can choose whatever you like. Different colors produce different effects. Thread the needle through the beads and exit on the other side.

Step 3: Use the other needle, go through all six Swarovski beads. Then with the same needle, pick up another six 3mm crystal beads, and take the other needle and go through all the new beads from the opposite side. Make sure that there are two beads between the two needles.

Step 4: Pick up two 4mm Swarovski crystal beads (the first is a main color and the second is an accent color), and slide down toward the stone (8mm mounted glass crystal bead). Pick up a 4mm bead (another main color bead), and criss-cross with the other needle from the other side. Both needles will come out from that bead, but in opposite direction.

Step 5: Take the needle which is closest to the stone, and go through two of the 3mm beads.

Step 6: With the other needle, pick up two 4mm beads (the first is an accent color and the other is main color), and criss-cross the last bead with the opposite needle. Slide down toward the stone. Repeat step 4.

Step 7: Repeat step 5 and step 4 until there are six main color crystal beads and five accent crystal beads.

Step 8: Take the needle which is closest to the stone and go through the two 3mm beads, and with the same needle go up through the first crystal in the row. You will have the one needle coming from the first crystal and the other needle coming from the last crystal. Now pick up the last accent crystal bead and criss-cross with the other needle.

Step 9: With the one needle, pick up a seed bead and go through the 4mm accent color crystal, repeat until there is a seed bead between each crystal.

Step 10: With one needle, go up back through a 4mm main color bead, to exit at the top of the ring. Pick up one seed bead, one 3mm bead and one seed bead; go through the next 4mm bead from bottom to top. The crystal and seed beads will slot into the space. Repeat this step another five times to ensure that all gaps are filled.

Step 11: To make the band for your fingers, you need to work back to the bottom crystal. Be sure to exit the same crystal with both needles, but the needles must be on opposite sides.

Step 12: Pick up six seed beads on each needle, and then criss-cross both needles with a 3mm crystal. Repeat until the desired length, and then tie the thread with half hitched knots.
