January 2011 Beaded 3D Spiky Ball Project.
You can find a variety of Free Arts and Craft Project here, including beading tutorials and other project. This month's project is a beaded 3D Spiky Ball, made with Japanese glass seed beads and long bugles using right angle weave Beading technique. Can be used both as a Christmas decoration ornament or a phone or bag charm.
The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.

Beaded Spiky Ball :

What you need:

1)   Glass seed beads and long bugles, size 11/0 silver white colour. Seed beads same colour (size 12/0)
2)   Beading string (0.25mm)

Always Remember to pull tight on EVERY STEP.

Beaded Spiky Ball
Step 1: Cut a piece string around one meter long.
  • Add four size 11/0 seed beads on the exact center of the string, add crisscross the other end through the last added bead.
    Make sure this 4 bead ring is centralized at the center of the string.

Step 2:
  • Continue to:

    Add one size 11/0 seed bead on each side of the string, add one more seed bead to crisscross both strings through.
  • Repeat the above in this step exactly again.

Step 3:
  • Continue to:

    Add one size 11/0 seed bead on each side of the string, crisscross both strings back down through one old bead from step 1 (marked A).
  • You should have a beaded cube by now.

Step 4:
  • Continue to (work only on one side of the string):

    Add one long bugle, one size 12/0 seed bead and one more long bugle on the right (red) string, continue to pass the same string back through the same bead it exited from (marked A).

Step 5:
  • Continue to (work only on one side of the string):

    Add one long bugle, one size 12/0 seed bead and one more long bugle on the left (black) string, continue to pass the same string back through the same bead it exited from (marked A).
    Continue to pass this same black string up through one more old bead marked B.
    Continue to pass the other string (red) up through one old bead marked B.

Step 6:
  • Continue to (work only on one side of the string):

    Add one long bugle, one size 12/0 seed bead and one more long bugle on the top left (black) string, continue to pass the same string back through the same bead it exited from (marked A).

Step 7:
  • Continue to (repeat step 6):

    Add one long bugle, one size 12/0 seed bead and one more long bugle on the top left (black) string, continue to pass the same string back through the same bead it exited from (marked A).
  • Now that you get the idea, you have to do the long bugle step twice on each of the size 11/0 bead that you used to create the beaded cube.
    Go around passing the thread and beading the spikes all round the cube.
    When you reached the last spike, simply add on a hook or jump ring to for hanging purpose and tie off.
