Beaded Bezel Cabochon Pendant by Sky Aldovino
Bezeling a cabochon is fun! Once you learn it you'll never want to stop
but continue to weave around the cabochon, exploring possible ways how to
embellish the piece.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to combine Right Angle Weave and Peyote Stitch
for bezeling. You'll also learn how to use Ladder Stitch for creating the bail.
These techniques can be used on any shape and size of cabochons.The
design and pattern is simple that you can make your own variations, especially
if you decide to use a cabochon bigger than what is suggested in this tutorial.
The tutorial is catered for intermediate to advance students. It has in-depth
instructions and ultra-clear, close-up photos at each step. If you're a beginner
and wanted to learn you may need at least basic knowledge of Right Angle
Weave, Peyote Stitch and Ladder Stitch. Additionally, you can ask me question
you have on the tutorial. No more getting stuck and frustrated on a confusing or
just plain inaccurate pattern.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:
Materials: • 15/0 red seed beads A
• 15/0 white seed beads B
• 11/0 silver seed beads C
• 8/0 red seed beads D
• 8/0 white seed beads E
• 1.5 x 1.25 inches Cabochon (approx.)
• Beading thread
Tools: • Beading needle
• Scissors
For easy reference of color and size of seed beads take note of the letters ie A to
determine which size and color of beads should be weaved.
The number beside the letters ie 1A or 1B represents the number of seed beads and
needed to string or slide into the thread.
Terms and Descriptions: PASS - means passing a thread to an existing bead and/or beads
NEXT - means passing the thread into a bead going upward, left or right of the
beadwork
PREVIOUS - means passing the thread going backward a previous existing bead
where your thread is coming out
Important Note: If you decide to use a different size of cabochon, smaller or bigger than what is
suggested make sure that you'll have an even number of units of right angle weaves
for your 1st row. This is so because an uneven number of units of right angle weave
will affect the embellishment part of the tutorial.
As you weave you may find you need to add a new thread. Before cutting the existing
thread, make a knot first and then pass through several beads then cut off excess
thread. Then add a new thread by making a knot and passing a through several
beads and come out the bead where you stopped.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: 1st unit of Right Angle
Weave
Cut an arm span of thread and
thread into a needle. Pick up 4C.
Slide 4C near the end of the thread, leaving about 6 to 7 inches tail and make a knot.
Going counter-clockwise PASS the
thread back through the beads. Pulling
the thread the knot will also be hidden
inside the bead.

7
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 3: 3rd unit of Right Angle Weave
Now you have your 2nd unit of right angle
weave. Continue adding a 3rd unit.
Pick up 3C and going counter-clockwise
PASS the thread back through the C you
came out.
Pull the thread and as you pull, going
upward PASS the thread into NEXT 2C.
Now you have your 3rd unit of right
angle weave.
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 & 3 several times to add units of RAW and create a strip or 1 row of
right angle weave. In this tutorial, we have 36 units of right angle weave.
8
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Pick up your cabochon and wrap the
strip of right angle weave around to
check if the beadwork fits. If the
beadwork fits then you're ready to
connect and form a circle. If not you then
add more units of right angle weave.
Step 5: Connecting Right Angle
Weave
Say you are through adding units of
RAW. Pick up 1C.
Lay your beadwork like so and going right and upward PASS the thread into the
very last C of your right angle weave.
9
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Pull the thread and as you pull
pick up 1C. PASS the thread
back through a PREVIOUS C.
Pull the thread to connect and close
the circle.
Check and fit again onto your
cabochon.
10
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 6: 2nd row of right angle
weave
With just strip or 1 row of right angle
weave this will not hold the size of the
cabochon. What you need to do is
add rows of right angle weave to fit
the cabochon.
Going upward PASS the thread into
the NEXT C and pull.
Pick up 3C and going clockwise
PASS the thread back through the C
you came out.
Pull the thread. You have created
your 1st unit for the 2nd row.
Going right, continue by PASSING
the thread into the NEXT C and pull
the thread.
11
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 7: Pick up 2C.
Going counter-clockwise PASS the
thread into the NEXT C from the 1st
row.
Pull the thread and then continue
to go counter-clockwise and
PASS the thread back through
the 3 PREVIOUS C. You now
have a 2nd unit for your 2nd row.
12
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 8: Create your 3rd unit for the 2nd
row. Going upward PASS the
thread into the NEXT C.
Pick up 2C. Going clockwise
PASS the thread back through
the PREVIOUS C from the 2nd

thread. You now have your 3rd unit
for the 2nd row.
13
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Looking at this diagram, this is how
you should weave as you add units
for the 2nd row from Step 6 to 8.
First, you added 3C shown in blue
and weaved in clockwise direction
(Step 6). Then you added 2C shown
in green and weaved counter-
clockwise (Step 7). You added 2C
again, this time shown in orange and
weaved clockwise (Step 8), and can
continue by adding 2C shown in
mauve and then weave counter-
clockwise. Repeat in this manner of
weaving and go around your
beadwork.
Step 9:
When you reach this stage of your
beadwork with only 1 unit needed
to complete the circle, pause.
14
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Pick up 1C and going counter-clockwise PASS the thread back through the 3
nearest beads.
Now you have completed the 2nd
row of right angle weave.
Step 10: Check and see if it fits and how
many rows of right angle weave
you need to bezel the
cabochon.
To add rows of right angle
weave simply repeat Step 6 to
10 as many times as needed to
encase your cabochon. In this
tutorial I have 4 rows of right
angle weaves.
15
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 11: After you have created your desired
number of rows of right angle weave
have your thread come out a side-
bead shown in arrow.
Step 12: 1st round of Peyote
Stitch
Pick up 1A.
Then PASS the thread into the NEXT
C.
16
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Pull the thread. You now have A, filling the gap. Repeat this step and weave around
the beadwork. Make sure to pull the thread with an even tension as you weave.
Looking at the diagram this is how you weaved and filled the gap with A in between
the right angle weave.
17
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
When finished you should be at this stage of your beadwork. Notice that the
beadwork begins to have that dome shape as you pull the thread.
Step 13: 2nd round of Peyote Stitch After you've finished your 1st round of Peyote, PASS the thread into the NEXT A
and continue to weave your 2nd round of Peyote Stitch.
Your thread is now coming out of A. Pick up 1A. PASS the thread into the NEXT A
and pull the thread.
Repeat this step and go around your beadwork.
18
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Looking at the diagram this is how you've weaved the 2nd round of Peyote Stitch.
The pink beads shows the 1st round done on Step 12 and the red beads shows the
2nd round.
When finished this is how it should look like. Again, keep on pulling the thread with
even tension to achieve the dome shape.
19
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 14: 3rd round of Peyote Stitch Perform a 3rd round of Peyote by following the pattern below. All you need to do is
start from your 2nd round of Peyote Stitch.
The pink beads is the 1st round, orange beads is the 2nd round and the red beads is
the 3rd round.
This is how it should look like after the 3rd round of Peyote Stitch
20
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 15: 4th round of Peyote
After your 3rd round of Peyote your thread should be coming out a bead from your
2nd round of Peyote.
To start the 4th round, PASS the thread into the NEXT A. Pick up 1B and perform
Peyote Stitch, but this time PASS the thread into 3A then pull..
Pick up 1B again, PASS into 3A and then pull the thread.
21
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
On the diagram this is how you should weave the 4th round of Peyote Stitch. The
pink beads is the 1st round, orange is the 2nd round, red is the 3rd round and white
is the 4th round. As you can see you are skipping 3 beads before adding a B.
When finished this is how it should look like.
22
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 16: Beading the back part
When you're finished beading the
front part you now can cover the
back part of the cabochon.
PASS the thread into several beads
until you come out a bead on the
other side.
Repeat Step 12 for the 1st round of
Peyote Stitch.
Step 17: Repeat Step 13 for the 2nd round of
Peyote Stitch. If you feel you need to
add a 4th and 5th round to bezel the
cabochon you may do so. In this
tutorial we only had 3 rounds of
Peyote Stitch at the back of the
cabochon.
23
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 18: Embellishing the
cabochon
Weave back through several beads
and come out at the sides from a
horizontal bead from your right angle
weave. At this stage aim to come out
the middle row of right angle weaves.
Step 19: 1st round Peyote
embellishment
Now you're ready to embellish the
sides. Pick up 1C and PASS the thread
into the NEXT C. What you did is place
a bead on top of a right angle weave
shown in arrow.
On side view this is how it should look
like. Repeat this step and go around
your beadwork.
24
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
On this diagram it shows you how you weaved the Cs, shown in green and placed
them on top of the RAW.
When finished this is how it
should look like.
Step 20: 2nd round Peyote
embellishment
Perform a 2nd round of Peyote
embellishment using C and go
around your beadwork.
25
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
This is how it should look with 2 rounds
of Peyote embellishment. The sides of
the cabochon is now wider.
Step 21: 3rd round of Peyote embellishment
Pick up 1D, perform Peyote and go around the beadwork.
Step 22: 4th round of Peyote
embellishment
Perform a 3rd round of Peyote and this
is how it should look like.
26

Step 23: 5th round of Peyote
embellishment
Pick up 1E and PASS 3D shown in
bracket.
Go around the beadwork by picking
up 1E and PASSING 3D. Weave in
this manner and go around your
beadwork. When finished this is
how it should look like.
Step 24: Creating the bail with
Ladder Stitch
At this stage you're finished with the
Peyote embellishment and is ready to
create the bail.
Coming out from a D, pick up 1D and
PASS the thread back through E.
27

BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step 26: After pulling the thread, pick
up 1D, 1E & 1D then going
counter-clockwise PASS the
thread back through the 2nd
row of ladder stitch.
Pull the thread and you have
your 3rd row of ladder stitch.
Then PASS back through the 3rd
row and pull the thread again.
Repeat Steps 25 & 26 until you
reach your desired length of
ladder stitch.
Step 27: Once you reach your desired
length flip your beadwork and
have the back of the cabochon
facing upward. Connect the last
row of ladder stitch to the 1st row
and pull the thread.
30
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
After pulling the thread you should see your bail starting to form a loop. Complete
the loop by PASSING the thread back through the last row of ladder stitch. PASS
the thread back through the rows of ladder stitch to stiffen the loop. Secure the
thread by PASSING into several beads, make knots, PASS through several beads
again and then cut off excess thread.
You're done! Your Beaded Bezel Cabochon Pendant.

About the Author
I consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to
crafting. I’m a self-taught jewelry maker. Jewelry making
wasn’t really a hobby of mine, but unforeseen events lead
me to learn jewellery making. My family put up a craft store
where we sell cross stitch, beads and all sorts of crafting
materials. I fell in love with the beads and tried to create
accessories only for myself. Clients liked the pieces and I
started customizing handmade jewelleries. The craft store
was a success for 6 years, but like any other small
businesses we had to close it down and I was confined to
staying at home. While at home I had all the time using the
internet. I blog and teach jewelry making.

This next step can be different if you want to use this component for something else.
You can follow the next step when you make a pair of earrings but if you want to use it
in a necklace you can add a different count of beads when you attach it to the
necklace.
* Figure 16 doesn’t show it good but the dagger and hanging part do have to be
straight on the opposite of each other.
Step 14 - Pick up 1 x 11/0 SB - 5 x 15/0 SB’s - 1 x 11/0 SB and go through the
second 15/0 SB of the next (!!!!) bow of 15/0 seedbeads.
Bead further without picking up a bead until you reach the opposite of the beads you
just added. Come out of the 4th 15/0 SB of that bow.
Pick up 1 x 15/0 SB - 1 x dagger (or something else) - 1 x 15/0 SB and go through the
second SB of the next bow. Follow figure 16.
Remember, if you use another bead than a dagger, you have to see how many beads
you add because it has to fit in between those two bows. Now bead further back into
your work and tie off your thread when you think it is strong enough.

with the smallest beads… (bead embroidery and weaving) and everything
that came with it.
At the end of 2012 she began making her own tutorials and has made four
tutorials since then. Two of which are for free.
Next to designing and making jewellery and tutorials she is also engaged
in drawing, painting, mosaics, webdesign and photography.

These are the bead layout diagrams for the bracelet. Make the first layer
first, then add the embellishment. The pattern is laid out step by step with
detailed graphics and text instructions. You will notice in the diagrams that
some of the areas are shaded dark (black outlines) and some areas are
shaded light. The dark shaded areas (black outlines) show beadwork that
still has to be stitched, while the light shaded areas show beadwork that has
already been stitched. Please pay attention to the diagrams and text while
making this bracelet.
NOTE: Always start at the RED arrows, then follow the BLUE arrows,
then the BLACK arrows.

DIY Beaded Tribal Earrings by Nicole Perry
I like Jennifer Lopez’s song “Let’s Get Loud.” I remember I used to dance and sing whenever I hear the song. One lyric phrase I remember is “pump it up!” and I kind of like it . But I like this one more – Pumps & Iron! Why? Because there’s a DIY Beaded Tribal Earrings Tutorial!!! Nicole Perry, an active lady, an Editor by day and a blogger by night loves DIY projects. She’s also a lifestyle blogger and the brains behind Pumps & Iron where you’ll get tips how to be fit with her shared at-home workouts and healthy recipe ideas.

In beadweaving the technique used by Nicole is called Figure 8 Technique.
There’s no difficult beading technique used which makes this earring so cool
and easy to make! Just prepare 5 colors of 11/0 or 8/0 seed beads, beading
threads, 2 needles and ear wires.
You’ll need about an arm-length’s-and-a-half of thread for each earring. As in,
hold the spool of thread in one hand, the end of the thread in the other hand,
and stretch out your arms as wide as they can go. That plus ½ of that.
Thread a needle onto the last couple inches of each end.
59
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
You’re going to attack each row of beads from both ends. Double team ‘em. One
needle will go in left-to-right while the other will go in right-to-left. The first row will
have one bead, and then increase each row by one bead up to 11. The body of the
earring will have 11 beads in each row.
60
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
When you’ve gotten to the end and tapered your rows back to one bead, tie a
couple knots to secure the pattern. Loop the thread through the earring hook’s
loop several times to create a sturdy attachment. Knot it a bunch of times and
trim the thread ends.
Repeat the whole process and, voila!, you’ve got a beautiful pair of beaded tribal
earrings!

Circular Peyote Earrings
by Amy Severino
Today my "T" post is TUTORIAL. Where would be we [beaders] be without them?! So in honor of my two hundredth post and the letter "T", I am sharing my first tutorial.
I have been working on this tutorial for a little while, and I want to acknowledge to all those tutorial writers out there, that I did not realize how difficult the process is! And this one isn't very fancy! Just some pics (and some bad ones at that) and some instructions, very much in my own words. I started this same one several months ago and gave up because I didn't feel like I was doing a very good job. I guess all I'm trying to say, is that tutorials are a lot of work!
On that note, however, feel free to use this tutorial freely! I don't know that my future holds many more tutorials, but this is a really basic disc, starting with a base of circular RAW and the rest of the rounds are peyote or netting, and I'm positive that even without the tutorial, plenty of experienced beaders would look at the picture and figure it all out! ;)

Supplies: 1g 15/0 seed beads
1g 11/0 seed beads
1g 8/0 seed beads
thread of your choice
beading needle
earring wires
First thread your needle with about a yard of thread. String on 10 15/0 beads. Tie them into a circle and make a knot. Leave a tail that will be comfortable for you to use when you need to weave it back into the work.) Pass your needle through the first bead strung.
65
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Pick up 3 15/0 beads and pass through the first bead (again) and the second bead
strung (First right angle weave unit).
Pick up 2 15/0 seed beads and pass through the first bead of the previous RAW
unit, and the second and third bead in the base circle. (second RAW unit)
Repeat all around the circle.
66
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
When you get to the part in the circle where you pass through the 9th & 10th beads
in the circle, also pass through the last bead in the first RAW unit (see below). Pick
up one 15/0 bead and pass through the first bead of the previous unit, the 10th
bead in the circle....
....And the last bead of the first RAW unit. This will complete the second round
which is simply a circular RAW round.
67
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Now pass through one of the upper most beads in the RAW unit, pick up one 11/0
bead, and pass through the upper most bead in the next RAW unit.
Continue peyote stitching 11/0 beads all the way around.
Step up through the first 11/0 stitched at the beginning of this round.
68
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Next, peyote stitch 8/0's all the way around.
Step up and do another round of 8/0 peyote stitched round.
69
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Step up
Now pick up 3 15/0 beads and pass through the 8/0 next to it and repeat all
the way around.
70
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Do not step up, but instead repeat this round so you have two rows of three 15/0's
between each 8/0.
Again, do not step up. This time, string 1 15/0, 3 11/0's, 1 15/0 and pass through
the next 8/0.
71
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
Repeat all the way around.
When you get to the final 8/0, pass through the first three beads strung on this
round (1 15/0 and 2 11/0's), so your needle exits the middle 11/0.
72
BLOG: WWW.HANDMADE-JEWELRY-CLUB.COM MEMBERSHIP: WWW.DIYBEADINGCLUB.COM DIY BEADING MAGAZINE ISSUE #7
String 1 15/0, 1 11/0, 1 8/0, 1 11/0, 1 15/0 and pass through the next middle 11/0
bead (as shown below).
Repeat all the way around.
I typically go through this round twice to reinforce.
When you are done, stop when you pass through the next 8/0 bead. String 1 11/0, 4
15/0, your ear wire, 4 15/0, 1 11/0 and pass bac through the 8/0 bead. Repeat
several times. Weave your thread through the work, knotting occasionally and snip
the thread. You will also have the tail from the first round to weave back into your
work, and snip.

Amy Severino
On her 25th birthday, Amy was walking by a bead store and
wondered to herself: How can they have a WHOLE store for beads? She
walked in and fell in love.
Spending nearly an hour perusing the tiny cups of beads and
scouring the strands on the wall, she left that afternoon with a beading
kit. She made the necklace as soon as she got home….and went back to the
bead store twice that day for more beads! The rest is history…Amy has been
beading for nearly 20 years.
Her passion with beads began with stringing and over the years
evolved into off-loom bead weaving, which is her favorite form of beading.
Her work has been published in Bead & Button Magazine and in
Beadwork Magazine. Amy teaches at local bead shops. She lives in
Massachusetts with her husband and son.
