Huichol flower Tutorial
Hello there!
First of all so sorry
for my awfull manicure but I had waited for some spare time to make
this tutorial and I had to choose between having my nails done or
making it and Voila !
I'll make a very short
explanation for each photo, this to avoid making it too complicated. But if any doubt just let me know :)
For this one I choose
to use 4 different colours, light orange, orange, red and black, once
you can learn the pattern you can make any number of colours and
combinations.
Start with a stop bead
(just pass the needle twice trough the same bead leaving 5 cm of
tread)
Add 11 beads more to
make 12 total
And close in a circle
Add 5 light orange
beads and go through 2 black beads
Pull tight, and you will have your first 5 beads loop
Add 3 more beads and
go back through the last 2 orange beads and through 2 more black beads.
Keep adding 3 beads at
the time and going back 2 beads each time until you close the circle,
in the very last loop you will only add one bead since you will have
the last 2 and the very first 2 you put at the beginning of the
circle, when you finish it should look like this:
Go to the top of your
loop and on the second bead add 5 dark orange beads
Jump one bead and go
back down, and without going into the black beads come back up through
the next 2 light orange beads.
Finish the circle.
Once you finish the
circle go back through the first 2 dark orange beads until you are
back at the top.
Add five red beads,
jump over one orange and go through the next one
This time you are not
at the bottom, you are coming out trough middle of the 2 dark orange
beads
Add one dark orange
bead a black and another orange bead.
Then go through the opposite middle bead and finish at the top again.
Add 5 red beads and
repeat untill you finish the circle again
It should look like this:
Now go to the top through the first 2 red beads
Add 5 black beads, jump the next red bead and go through the one right after.
Add 3 red beads and go through the black middle bead, when you come out. Add 3 more and go to the next petal going through the same bead you just did on the last one
Add 5 more black beads and repeat untill you finish the circle
Now it should look like this:
Add 3 black beads and go to the next red corner bead
Add one more black bead and go to the opposite corner
Add 3 more beads and go all the way through untill you reach the end of the petal (3 blck beads). Sorry the photo doesn show me going trough 3 just 1 but you do 3 :)
Repeat the last step untill you finish the circle
and you have Finished!
This flower is the base to make lots of different earrings necklaces and bracelets you just need to use your imagination and any colour combination you want.
