Simple and versatile for sewing collars, bracelets and more!

The spiral rope is a chain of the simplest and most versatile of the points that we have. It can be used on its own, like a bag strap, or as a basis for a necklace, bracelet or anklet. Once you have the beginning base down, does it work in no time, and you can do while watching television. It is a simple, two balls, same size piece, so no need to hunt different beads around the waist.

Here's what you need to do to get your own rope chain spiral started:

Size 11 / 0 seed pearls - approx. 5 grams, in two different colors. Use contrasting colours for your first spiral, it is easier to see what you are doing.

Nymo Thread - Size "D" in a color corresponding to the base beads on the spiral.

Size 12 baguettes needle

Coil french (aka gold or gimp) - 2 parts, 8 mm in length, each piece.

Fastener and ring for finishing.


1. 3 Cut a piece of foot Nymo, muscle and the state with beeswax or Thread Heaven. Thread your needle beading.

2. Place 4 beads in your base color (white photos) and 3 beads outside the spiral of color on your wire.

3. Attach the marbles in a circle. leaving about a 6 "tail. Take the needle through the 4 core beads, and come out on top.

4. Add 1 heel in the basic color (white) and 3 pearls in a spiral of color (blue). What pearls drop down to work.

5. Take the needle 3 of the first four beads base 4 (white) and the heel 1 heart that you just added. You must go through a total of 4 beads. Do not pass through the first base beads on the wire.

6. Pull the wire through the beads 4 basis, then use your thumb to push the ball 3 blue on the side so they sit beside the first series of 3 pearls spiral.

7. Repeat from step 4 until your rope spiral reached the length you want. Keep pushing the beads above as and do not forget to spend only needle 4 on the basis of pearls.

8. End your bracelet (or necklace or anklet) adding the gimp the tail thread, passing through the fine, and stitching again in the spiral. Make sure to tie a knot very safe, and finish with a drop of clear nail polish. Repeat on the other side.

Using beads of different sizes, you can accomplish many great things with this point. it looks done much with the size 6 / 0 beads, and made a beautiful play with 13 / 0 or 15 / 0 beads. So, experience, and if you come with something really cool, send me a photo gallery of Beadwork!
