Learn to make this beautiful design as Karla Schafer, Auntie's Beads Designer, demonstrates how to crochet a necklace. You can pause and rewind at anytime you want if you missed a step or need to watch it again.
This Karla Kam was prompted by a request for designs using chain. This project was designed by Shanna one of our talented designers and I hope you all will be inspired to work with chain in many of your designs.
Okay you asked for it, so I did some practice pieces and I am ready for a Pearl Knotting Karla Kam! I am teaching it the way I learned it, from Nick Regine of Swarovski, with the Tri-Cord Thread Knot Tool. This like many techniques, gets better with practice.

Watch as Karla Schafer, Auntie's Beads designer, demonstrates the basics of earring construction. Karla will show you the main types of earrings and how to create them.
Peyote is a classic stitch and is widely used. It is a technique originated by Native Americans of the Southwest United States. They used it to adorn objects used in religious ceremonies as well as everyday life. We will be learning the basic stitch and create a beautiful bracelet with a Swarovski Button closure.

This stitch was a request, so I taught myself so that I may teach you! African Helix is a fun stitch that creates a tube like structure. This week we will only learn the stitch. We will complete the bracelet next week or a necklace if you get going and don't want to stop!

I love making these RAW beads. The designs you can make with them are endless! Trying the technique with different types of beads, round crystals, top drilled beads or even seed beads just add to the amazing things you can make!

I decided I would introduce a few more easy stitch projects into the Karla Kam program. I found the pattern for these through an online newsletter. The pattern called for seed beads, but then I decided 4mm round crystals would give them more appeal. I will also provide other beading projects on line using the ladder stitch!

Are we ready to spin out of control? Not really, it is a controlled spin. Join me while I show you how to use the Spin-N-Bead Bead Loader to create a long lariat necklace out of seed beads.
The coiling gizmo is just that, a gizmo, that can transform wire and a few seed beads into a unique funky bead. I will demonstrate how to make a beaded coiled bead and continuous coils. I may come up with a few other items to show too!
