Two-Hole Bead Ladder Stitch Ring

Free Beading Tutorial for the Two-Hole Bead Ladder Stitch RingTwo-Hole Bead Ladder Stitch Ring Tutorial — FREE beading tutorial to make stackable rings

This beading project shows how versatile the Es-O Mini bead and this ladder stitch ring can be.  You can modify the ring design in the following ways:

  1. using the same color palette, but varying the seed bead pattern
  2. changing the color palette
  3. adding a focal bead  (there will be a tutorial on this in a future post)

Plus, this ring looks great stacked. I am thinking that this could be the perfect DIY gift project.

Materials

*The ring shown is a size six and eight two-hole Es-O Mini beads were used.

  • 2g 10/0 Czech Seed Beads in TWO colors (2g per color)
  • 8* Two-hole Es-o Mini Beads
  • Beading Thread
  • Big Eye Needle
  • Scissors

Instructions

Thread Note:  You have two choices on how to create a secure ring. Choice one is to double over the threads. Choice two is to repeat thread path twice.

Pattern Note

In order to maintain the pattern, the last step you should work is step five. However, you will only pick up the Es-O Mini bead and not the three gold beads.  To complete the band the band, you will pass through the first three gold beads you picked up. You should follow the same thread path as in step five.
