Welcome to the beaded cube bead diamond-shaped ring pattern instructions! If you have any difficulty following this tutorial, please post a comment at the bottom of the page on which you are stuck, and I'll do my best to help!

Step 1 : Here I show you where to go with the fishing line after picking up the cube bead with it. In fact, you go through the same medium-length bugle bead you just came out of, and in the same direction! So it's a loop. Now we will do likewise on the other side with the opposite medium-length bugle bead.

Step 2 : Here I show you the other side! Do the exact same thing. Get the other end of the fishing line (depicted by a black arrow) through the medium-length bugle bead marked with the turquoise dot (by going through other beads till you get there), then pick up the cube bead with it (the cube bead will already be attached to the centre of the ring now).

Step 3 : Now take that same end of the fishing line (depicted by a black arrow) and go back through the same medium-length bugle bead again. This will form a loop once again like the last time on the other side. Now the cube bead is tightly secured into the centre of the ring. Now take the two ends of the fishing line and make your way to the periphery of the ring pattern by going through the short bugle beads in front of the medium-length ones.

Step 4 : This is what your ring should now look like from the underside (we haven't flipped it back over yet). The fishing line is visible, but that's okay because we will now we flipping the ring back over to the top side, and no fishing line will be visible. It will be as if the cube bead is hovering in all its glory in the centre between the bugle beads as the crowning achievement of your beaded ring. Your friends might not even realize it is beaded! You may have noticed I have switched back to the original colour scheme!

Step 5 : And voila! This is what your ring looks like from the top side. It's beautiful and delicate! You can't even differentiate this picture from the one I took when I had merely placed the cube in the centre of the pattern without attaching it. The cube bead is truly floating in the ring. Doesn't it look like it was meant to be? It's the perfect shape and size to match the bugle bead crown that frames it. Okay, enough play, now let's get onto attaching this ring to your finger to show it off!
