Round Brick Sew Wooden Ring Tutorials and Inspirations | For Beaded Mandalas, Tassels and as Connectors

I’ve lengthy admired round brick stitched designs. These are sometimes created with metallic rings as the inspiration.  However since I’m able to minimize wooden rings, I assumed they’d make light-weight variations.

The added benefit of wooden is the pure shade. You can even change the colour to go well with shade palettes by merely staining or portray the wooden.  See my tutorial on Easy methods to Sand, Stain, Paint and Seal Laser Reduce Wooden Jewellery Designs.

Word that the bigger rings may also be used for decorations – like beaded Christmas ornaments! 

Typically the laser slicing generates soot behind the rings.  Here’s a tip on learn how to shortly sand this away. Simply place masking tape (you have to a couple of strip for the bigger assortment) on the proper aspect of the rings. 

Round brick sew is simple.  I simply knot the Fireline to start with. Depart about 6 inches for the tail – that will probably be used to stabilize the primary bead and to knot and end off. 

Choose up two beads, take the thread across the ring and stitch by the second bead the place the thread exited. This then positions the bead with gap dealing with up. Choose up one other bead and repeat the final step. 

The inspirational tutorials on the finish can even go over how round brick sew is completed. 

You should utilize completely different sorts of beads.  Here’s a comparability of eight/zero with 11/zero beads with the wooden frames. The primary row towards the wooden ring is brick sew. I then added a stack of beads main away kind the primary bead of the primary row.  I then picked up one other stack of beads on the needle and sewed by the second bead of the primary row.

I continued this up and down addition of bead stacks. The thread is extra seen on the finish of the stacks with the 11/zero beads on the proper.  Even stress – which I didn’t obtain right here – is essential in making the bead flare symmetrical. 

I used Delicas on the surface of this silver painted wooden ring pair of earrings. The Delicas undoubtedly provides a unique end to the design. 

Another choice is so as to add extra beadwork under the rings :

As I discussed earlier than, the concentric rings let you put one ring inside one other :

The inner ring needn’t be centered as you may see with this pendant design under :

I like to recommend you employ chain nostril pliers and bent nostril pliers like I did to have the ability to grasp and shut the rings. 

Ease the wooden rings flat and you can find that the bounce rings are excellent, not unfastened in any respect.  This straightforward ring design within the patriotic colours could be very straightforward to make.  You should utilize acrylic paints or marker pens.  I typically use the oil based mostly ones like this one.  The oil based mostly marker pens can be utilized on quite a lot of surfaces, not simply wooden. 

One other concept is to make use of the wooden rings for tassel jewellery and for macrame work. Extra about these methods one other time!
