Beaded Diamond-Shaped Ring Pattern by Allegra

Welcome to the beaded 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 46

Step 46:Okay after you've tried it and are happy with it, time to extra secure it! After tying the knot, pass through the green seed bead labelled with a pink dot with ONE of the two ends of the fishing line (either end). This way the two ends of the fishing line are on opposite sides of the pink-dotted green seed bead. Now, take the two ends of the fishing line back up to the opposite corner of the base again! (towards the one I designated with a yellow dot).

Step 47

Step 47:When you reach the green seed bead designated by a yellow dot, cross it with the two ends of fishing line. Then pass each end of the fishing line through a couple more beads (in my example, I passed through one bugle bead and one green seed bead each). Then cut the fishing line as close to the ring as possible. You're done!

Step 48

Step 48:Time for the ball! Or maybe a killer Christmas present for someone with a similar finger size to you? You can shower with it, sleep with it, never take it off for a year (but I would for hygeine lol). You can use mat beads for this pattern, but I always use shiny/glittery ones because they look like real gems! People will wonder how much you spent on your beautiful ring! Little do they know, it costs about 10 cents in materials and only about half an hour of your time!!!

Step 49

Step 49:Now the first official beaded ring pattern has ended. Here I want to comment on the value of drawing your intended pattern on paper before starting. To the right, you see a drawing that I did on paper before starting one of my ring patterns. It makes making the beaded ring much easier! You just follow your drawing as you make the pattern. Also, it's good for brainstorming patterns because you don't want to find out after making the ring that your pattern didn't look nice. All you have to do is draw a 5-line by 5-line grid and colour every side of every cell in a different colour, as I did (e.g. see the purple and pink lines?) Each purple and pink line in my drawing represents 1 short bugle bead of the same colour. Try it!

Step 50

Step 50: Here is another such drawing. And in fact, I am going to now show you how to go from this drawing to finishing the ring represented by the pattern. I've extended this tutorial because I thought it would benefit you to see two different patterns done, to get you feeling more comfortable about making up your own beaded ring patterns! So try actually copying this drawing on paper and following along with me. (By the way, the black lines represent the borders of short translucent white bugle beads, since I couldn't draw white lines!)
