Bead Soutache Jewellery Tutorial on Hobby Mela

Hello All,

Bead soutache is a jewellery form that has fascinated Art'zire for a while, so I decided to develop my own version of it, thanks to the unavailability of soutache cords in India........

For the curious ones, the soutache type jewellery I made looks like this:

And don't let that complexity scare you! These are rather simple to make..........don't believe us? Here is the video tutorial for it :) [The tutorial for the paper "base" is HERE]

Blogger just won't embed the video, so I'm providing only the link! Apologies for that.........

I want to thanks Avani Shah and Hobby Mela, for giving us this opportunity.......

Happy Quilling

Off-beat...........bead soutache again :)

Hello All,

When I saw Lulupu Craft Lounge's second B'day challenge notification, I so knew I had to participate. Not being a card-maker, I am more or less away from challenges as most involve cards. Add to that the inability to meet deadlines due to personal commitments and we have a recipe for non-participation in time-bound challenges! BUt this time, Lulupu has made it easier for us all. The challenge was to create something with the alphabets L, U, P, T, C. A minimum of three had to be incorporated. So, here is my take on it:

L - Layers (layers of paper used to make the 'base' for the soutache jewellery)
P - Paper (use for making the backing according to this method) and Pearl (flat back pearls used in the centre)
T - Thread (used to hold the beads together while arranging the beads)
C - Concentric circles (of beads in the jewellery)

I hope I qualify with this piece in Category 3 (everything else) :)

Happy Quilling
