    BEADED DRAGONFLY SET – JEWELLERY MAKING TUTORIAL


    Designed by: Paula Ziemska

    Difficulty: Beginner

    Rating: 

    Together with Paula Ziemska, we invite you to a jewellery making tutorial for beginners. Paula
    will show you how to make a dragonfly from beads, which will be the main element of the
    necklace and earrings. Insect motifs have not gone out of fashion for some time, and you can
    easily conjure up such a set yourself. To work!

    Welcome everyone to my little tutorial. Inspired by the delicacy of Indian summer (heather's,


    butterflies, dragonflies, cobwebs and this wonderful autumn sun!) I will present you a way to
    make simple bead dragonflies that will create earrings and a subtle pendant. Paula xx

    Materials required:

     Beading Thread - I used Beadsmith S-lon AA Tex 35


     Needle - John James 10/13
     Firepolish Beads - crystals in size 3 and 4mm (FP)
     CzechMates™ - (CZD)
     TOHO seed beads - in sizes 8/0 and 11/0 (TH)
     Ear Wires - open hooks e.g. made of stainless steel
     Jump Rings - 4mm open wheels, e.g. made of surgical steel
     Chain - 2.5 x 2mm armor
     Charm - I used a decorative filigree pendant with a butterfly
     Tools - sharp scissors and pliers

    Remember that the delicate colours and choice of charm presented in this tutorial are only a
    suggestion, and you can conjure up your set from completely different beads. The effect you get
    can be completely different, and at the same time unique. Well, let's do it! It's time to find out
    how to make a dragonfly from beads :)

    STEP 1
    To begin with, we will prepare the dragonfly. Cut about 40 cm of thread and thread it on a
    needle.

    Pick up: 1 x TH 11/0, 2 x FP 3mm, 4 x FP 4mm, 2 x CZD, 1 x FP 4mm and 1 x TH 8/0.


    STEP 2
    Skip the TH 8/0 and pass directly into the 4mm FP bead. Pick up 2 x CZD and pass the needle
    through all the FP beads.
    STEP 3
    Pass up through the TH 11/0 bead.
    STEP 4
    The dragonfly has already taken shape (right? Simple?). Now you just need to stabilise it a
    little. For this, we re-enforce our needlework by passing through all the beads twice more.
    STEP 5
    Finally, we secure and cut off excess threads. The dragonfly is ready and now you need to
    connect it to the necklace.
    STEP 6
    This type of necklace will be regulated by its length alone. We attach a link with a pendant to
    one end.
    STEP 7
    Then we put the other end through part of our filigree.
    STEP 8
    Put on the necklace and go to the mirror. In front of the mirror we select the appropriate chain
    length (remember that it must pass freely through the head!) and cut off any excess.
    STEP 9
    At the other end of the necklace we install a link with our dragonfly.
    STEP 10
    Now it's time for earrings. Follow steps 1 to 5 and make two more dragonflies and mount on
    jump rings.
    STEP 11
    Attach the dragonflies to the earwires with the jump rings just added and your set is complete.
    STEP 12
    Here you have another example of jewellery in which I used the dragonfly theme :). Be sure
    to let us know how you liked this jewellery making tutorial, and if you use our inspiration.
