Workshop
Diagonal Right-angle Weave Lariat

 


Prerequisite:
YOU MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF RIGHT-ANGLE WEAVE

Have you ever thought of doing right-angle weave with the emphasis on the diagonal? Join NanC Meinhardt’s workshop and spend a day exploring this idea as you create a beautiful lariat that really shows off this variation. After you accomplish the basics, you will have the fun of using triangle seed beads to further show off your new diagonal skill. Design your own “slant” using as many colors as you desire to suit your personality and then add long extravagant strands of fringe.

Supplies Needed:

  • 1 tube each of six colors of size 10 triangle beads. This necklace works better if you choose some contrast between the colors of the triangle beads.

  • 1 tube of size 11 seed beads

  • An assortment of beads from 4mm to 8mm to use in the fringe. These beads should be a variety of sizes and shapes, and all of these choices should be color coordinated with the triangle beads. Pick out a few beads for your fringe that have a "WOW" effect.

  • Fireline 6 lb test or silamide size a beading thread

  • Beading needles size 10 or 11

  • Small scissors

  • A work surface

  • Extra light if needed

  • Magnifying glasses or visor if needed

  • Thread zapper (optional)

  • Hypo cement (optional)
