Spider Web

This project is so simple, but the result is awesome. It's one of those...why didn't I think of that?? ideas! I did mine a bit differently. I used one continuous strand of yarn to make the rings, instead of making each ring separately. Here is the tutorial on Made. You only need yarn and tape! When I saw it, I knew it would make the perfect addition to our spider infested door!

P.S. I can't wait to share the kids' Halloween costumes. We have our plans and are heading to the thrift store for supplies this week!

Raindrops on Rainbows Beading Pattern

Hi!

I finally wrote out the "Raindrops on Rainbows" beading pattern for you guys. The pattern is done in brick stitch. The finished rainbow could be used as a necklace charm (as pictured below), large earrings, as a little decoration on your purse....or anywhere else that would benefit from a cheerful little rainbow:)

You can find a PDF version of the pattern HERE.

I noticed the link I had to the brick stitch tutorial on my other patterns was no longer working. So, HERE is a new one I found. It's animated, which is kinda cool. HERE is another tutorial with instructions for how to do fringe at the end. I found the instructions HERE to be good too. I start my first row with one bead (after the base/ladder stitch row) more like this tutorial.

For the "chain" part of the necklace in the picture above, I used beading wire and strung seed beads in various sizes in a rainbow color pattern. Also, I used all round size 11/o seed beads for the rainbow. The bead sizes could be changed up to make the rainbow larger or smaller.

You can find other helpful beading info HERE.
