This time I decided to change pattern after I'd done the top sequin one.
I just love the look of bugle beads worked into a design like this. All the difficult 'bit' is done after the first three rings are worked and half a chain!! But, having said that you do need to keep an eye on the centre not twisting about when you join the next 3 or 4 chains!!! They seem to have a life of their own those bugles!!!
If you don't have bugles or don't like the ones you've got then you can use rice beads or several small seed beads (measuring up to the size of the bugle, obviously.
It seems like every time you post something with bugle beads, I go looking for the few that I have. I look, but I still haven't tried tatting with them! They do make adorable little dangles!
ReplyDeleteYes, the bugle beads are very effective.
ReplyDeleteBoth are pretty!!! :)
