Join Danielle Wickes for an engaging and informative online beading class for Michaels Stores, where she teaches how to create a stunning Rosey Rope Bracelet using the spiraling herringbone stitch. This step-by-step tutorial walks participants through the entire process—from starting the ladder stitch foundation to incorporating size 11/0 and 6/0 seed beads for a beautifully textured rope effect. Danielle shares expert tips on maintaining tension, selecting bead sizes for optimal structure, and adding variations to personalize the design. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced beader, this class provides valuable insights to enhance your beadwork skills.
In addition to the stitching process, Danielle demonstrates how to securely finish the bracelet using beading wire, crimp beads, and a lobster clasp. She covers essential techniques like adding thread seamlessly, using a straw to guide the wire through the beadwork, and properly closing crimp covers for a polished look. Along the way, she shares troubleshooting tips, design inspirations, and creative possibilities for modifying the bracelet into a necklace or other jewelry pieces. This class is perfect for anyone looking to expand their beading techniques while crafting a unique and elegant accessory.
