A triangle made of beads, the weaving pattern and master class of which you will find in this lesson, may well become the basis for For an elegant bracelet, or as an independent decoration - a pendant or earrings.

Tools and materials Time: 25 minutes Difficulty: 2/10

  • lilac beads 15/0;
  • light beads 11/0;
  • bugles;
  • fishing line;
  • needle for working with beads.

Step-by-step weaving instructions

The beaded triangle, as already mentioned, can be used in many ways. For example, in order to arrange the motifs into a bracelet, it is enough to connect them together either with beads, or in the process of forming the last row.

Step 1: start weaving

The weaving will go in one thread, so we move the first strung beads and glass beads closer to the end of the piece of fishing line. There are only 3 beads 15/0 and three bugles, which alternate with each other.

To close the string into a triangle, we simply cross the threads in the stringed glass beads.

Step 2: Forming the Corners

Next, we string 11/0 beads, a small bead, and another 11/0 bead and send the thread to the next glass bead. It turns out that a new row with beads is laid on top of the previous one, forming a neat but voluminous corner. This way we decorate all the corners.

Step 3: stringing bugles

The next step is to insert the glass beads between the corners, going along the beaded corners.
Another row - decorating the corners according to the same principle as before, with the only difference being that before sending the thread to the large bead of the previous row, you need to string another large bead. And only after that add three (one large, small and another large). After completing this row, the work is finished.

Step 4: Finish the decoration

In order to make a pendant out of a triangle, you just need to form a small loop of beads at one of the corners of the triangle. with its help you can wear the motif on any chain or cord. In the same way with earrings, you can add a small ring, securing it to the corner with a fishing line, and add a prepared earring to it.


We hope that our master class and pattern for weaving a triangle with beads were useful to you.

A step-by-step master class with photos and a weaving pattern will help you create an unusual, but very beautiful “Triangles” bead necklace with your own hands.

Tools and materials Time: 1-2 hours Difficulty: 3/10

  • Bugle beads 6.4 mm (its edges should not be sharp, otherwise the necklace may fall apart);
  • Beads 10/0 and 15/0;
  • 4mm round beads.

This very interesting “Triangles” beaded necklace has a strict geometric shape. The focus is on the geometric pattern of triangles, which is repeated over and over again to create a striking decoration.

Step by step instructions

Beads larger or smaller than 10/0 will not work, since the triangles will not be neat and flat enough, and we use 15/0 to fill the space between bugle beads.

Step 1: make the first loop

The weaving follows the pattern, and first we create the first loop from 10/0 beads. To do this, we string 5 beads onto a piece of fishing line, between which there may be a fastener element, move them to the end of the segment, and cross the tails of the fishing line in the next strung bead.

Step 2: stringing bugles

Next, we string 3 bugles, a 15/0 bead, another glass bead, one 10/0 bead onto the lower tail (the longest), and send it back through the stringed bugles, bypassing the bead. In this case, the glass beads should not be placed too closely to each other; leave very little space between them.

Step 3: Form a Triangle

Next we string another bead, a glass bead, and pass the tail through the first glass bead of the previous row, and the bead and glass bead of this one. In the same way we fix two more glass beads and move on.

According to the diagram, we fasten the glass beads around the first row in this way until you have the first triangle of the necklace in your hands.

Step 4: Add Beads

Step 5: make another loop

We finish the product with the same loop as at the very beginning. Later or immediately (depending on the type of clasp), these loops will help us design a clasp for a necklace, prepared in advance, or made with our own hands. In the same style, you can make not only a necklace from “Triangles” beads, but also earrings consisting of just one triangular motif.

It is woven mainly using the mosaic weaving technique, but Ndebele steps are also present. You can make not only a pendant from such triangles, but also. And if you use your imagination and create more triangles, and even different sizes, then you can sew them together in some unusual way and get a unique necklace.

We will need:
- beads of two different colors;
- strong thread or fishing line;
- bead needle;
- scissors.

Step 1

Cut the thread approximately two meters long. We will string the beads onto one thread and weave from its middle - the second end of the thread will then be used to weave the second half of the pendant. IN in this case We have white and black beads, but you can use any other color. String two white, 13 black, again white, black and white beads on a thread in the same sequence as in the photo. Place them approximately in the middle of the piece of thread.

Step 2

Pass the needle through the first white bead you picked up and tighten this thread into the ring.

Step 3

Now pick up two more white beads and pass the needle through the second one, performing a ndebele step.

Step 4

Next, weave a row of black beads using mosaic weaving. Go to the white corner, do the Ndebele step again, then do the black bead line again. And now you have a second row of beads on the pendant. Don't be afraid that it doesn't look like much yet. volumetric triangle, very soon he will appear before you!

Step 6

And here is the fourth row of the pendant.

Step 7

Fifth row. The rays and rows of mosaic weaving are still woven in the Ndebele style.

Step 8

The sixth row is also ready! The triangle is already clearly emerging, but it is not three-dimensional yet. As you can see, the second piece of thread is still waiting in the wings.

Step 9

The seventh row is the final one for this side of the pendant. Only here we will break the symmetry a little. In Ndebele steps we now string not two beads at a time, but just one at a time, as if completing the corners of a triangle.

Step 10

If you have a sufficiently long piece of the first thread left, then leave it - then you will use it to weave a tube onto the top of the pendant so that you can then thread a lace or chain into it. If the segment is already short, then hide it in the finished first half of the pendant. And start weaving the other half with the second thread. This half is woven in a similar way - using mosaic weaving and Ndebele. In the photo, the red dots indicate the added first row of beads.

Step 11

There will be only six rows in this half; the ends of the corners here end with two beads. After creating a couple of rows, you will see how the second half begins to overlap the first.

Step 12

So the second half is ready - it’s ideally light on the first! All that remains is to sew them together!

Step 13

To make the pendant denser, you can stuff it plastic bag. Insert it between the two halves of the triangle and start stitching: start from the corners. Pass the needle through that white bead, which is one, and connect it with the white beads of the second half, where there are two of them at the ends. Next, start sewing black beads together. It's all very simple, just don't forget to tighten the thread to sew them securely!

Step 14

This is the kind of triangle we have. At this point you can make earrings or anything else out of it. We continue to weave the pendant.

Step 15

Bring the needle to the middle of one of the sides of the triangle and weave three black beads using mosaic weaving. They are indicated by red dots in the photo. Next, weave several rows in this way.

Step 16

Next, you need to lightly embroider this strip into a couple of beads. I used white beads at the ends of the tube so that everything would harmonize better with each other. So weave the required number of rows. The thickness of the tube is at your discretion. If you are going to thread the pendant into a chain, then it should not be large. And if you then put the pendant on a thick cord, then make a larger tube.

Finished “Triangle” pendant made of beads

This is the kind of homemade product we got. You can experiment - collect different amounts of beads, making the triangle larger/smaller, using different beads and decorating finished goods beads or even glass beads. Happy experiments and more unique homemade products!

These bright and colorful earrings can be made to match almost any dress or blouse. The color scheme is very different and can be changed. Such earrings great idea for fashionistas and simply stylish girls!

To weave such earrings, you need to select the necessary colors of beads, it is advisable to take Japanese Delika beads, you can also use Czech beads. You will also need nylon thread, ear wires and a beading needle No. 12.

By taking Chinese beads, you risk greatly spoiling the final result, but if you do not have the opportunity to buy high-quality beads, you will have to carefully calibrate all the beads. Please note that each color of beads should not be different in size and shape, which is very rare in Chinese.

Each triangle is woven using mosaic weaving. More details on the principle of triangle weaving can be found in the article.

This element can later be used not only as earrings, but also as pendants. Increase or decrease the number of rows in the triangle and change the decoration pattern. As a result, you will get something of your own, special and unique.

Having scoured the Internet, I could not find a normal master class on weaving real three-dimensional triangles from beads. We found a lot of master classes, but the diagrams and options for ready-made jewelry presented there are not at all like that. Now I will briefly tell you what the peyote technique is and how to weave real volumetric triangle made of beads. The master class is based on translations of excerpts from articles from several South American Indian websites. Finding a full-fledged master class turned out to be a difficult task, since human greed knows no bounds and it is proposed to pay from 9 to 30 dollars to gain access to a full-fledged lesson and weaving patterns.

Finished jewelry is obtained in the form of miniature pillows from two woven triangles, sewn together using seamless technology.

To begin with, we will need beads of only two colors and a simple geometric pattern.

Pull three beads together and thread the thread through the first one again (black color in diagram 1).

Cast on the second row of beads according to the diagram, and pass the thread through the first bead with which you started the row (red color in diagram 1).

We collect the third row of nine beads. Please note that at this step a second color is included in the composition of the pattern. Don't forget to pull the thread through the bead with which the row began (Diagram 2).

It is noteworthy that the number of beads in each new row increases by a factor of three. Thus, the first row contains three beads, the second - six, the third - nine, etc. This is the peculiarity of concentric embroidery using the peyote technique.

In the fourth step, we place 12 beads in a row according to diagram 3. We continue to develop the central composition of the geometric pattern in the form of the letter "Y", adding a second color between its lines.

In the same way we lay 7 more rows of beads, and in total there should be 12 of them.

The last 13th row has one peculiarity: the beads belonging to our letter “Y” do not fit. The row is embroidered only light color(Diagram 4) and a triangle made of beads is obtained with slightly rounded corners.

Do not cut the thread at this stage under any circumstances. She will still be needed.

Now repeat all the above procedures again, weaving a second similar triangle from beads.

I hope you didn't cut the threads when finishing the weaving? Then start joining the resulting triangles together. Since we are using “triangular” weaving using the peyote technique, the joint should be shifted by one bead in one direction or another (Diagram 5). When you join two edges, place a felt ball or rolled up padding polyester between the triangles, and... sew the last edge.

The variety of patterns of three-dimensional triangles offered by the peyote technique of the South American Indians is inexhaustible. The number of different patterns depends only on your imagination. And the resulting voluminous pads allow you to assemble such an unusual decoration.
