How to make sea glass jewelry with glass seed beads

How to make sea glass jewelry with glass seed beads.
Sea glass is a glass pieces from the broken bottles and jars that had been worn smooth by the tumbling action of the sea waves against the shore. Ocean weaves drags the pieces of glass across the sand and stones, smoothing it and shaping in different shapes, creating frosted and worn surfaces.
Sea glass is so pretty that it deserves to be adorned. Use your most precious founded sea glass pieces to make a unique necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
There are many ways to make sea glass jewelry. Most common are:
I like to incorporate in sea glass necklaces sea shells and drift wood pieces. Tu create this mixed necklace you will have to learn basic peyote stitch, circular and tubular peyote stitches.
The supplies I usually use for my sea glass jewelry:
Some shells already have holes for stringing.
I love combining natural materials in to one big and complicated piece of jewelry.

Sea glass for sure is the most gorgeous beach find you’ll ever see. If you are lucky, you have stunning ocean tumbled sea glass piece that you can turn into unique jewelry with the wonderful story.

There are many ways to make sea glass jewelry. Most common are:
- Wire wrapping. You would need 20gauge sterling silver, copper or gold-plated wire.
- Drilling. You would need Dremel drill and drilling press.
- Bezeling requires more training than drilling or wrapping sea glass.
I like to incorporate in sea glass necklaces sea shells and drift wood pieces. Tu create this mixed necklace you will have to learn basic peyote stitch, circular and tubular peyote stitches.
The supplies I usually use for my sea glass jewelry:
- Sea glass, beach stones
- Driftwood
- Sea shell
Some shells already have holes for stringing.
- Natural Feathers
- Leather
- Cotton Cord
- Cotton thread
- Nylon beading thread (conditioned with beeswax).
- Needles #12, #12 sharps
- Scissors
- E-6000 glue
- Delica Glass Seed Beads
- Rocailles seed beads
- Beading foundation
- Usually I start by playing with different shapes of drift wood, beach stones, sea glass pieces till I create the desirable composition.
- Then I glue the chosen pieces to beading foundation: Put a dab of E-6000 glue on beading foundation, and then glue the material to the back (or around) of the piece of sea glass (beach stone, shell or driftwood).
- Set the sea glass (beach stone, shell or driftwood) aside and left the glue dry and cure for at least 4 hours (best would be 24 hours).
- Tie an overhand knot at the end of 2yd. (1.8m) of conditioned thread. Using a # 12 sharps needle, sew through the beading foundation fabric from back to front, next to the stone edge.
- Pick up six Delica Japanese seed beads and position them along the stone’s edge. Sew through the last three beads (figure 1). Continue working in beaded backstitch around the edge of the cab, adding an even number of beads (photo c).
- Using a regular beading needle and Delica seed beads, work in tubular, even-count peyote stitch around the ring. Changing seed bead colors for each round, continue adding rounds of peyote until the top edge of the cab is covered (photo d, e).
- Then I create a bail for pendant: usually I cut desirable piece of natural leather. Then I create gorgeous print/pattern from tiny glass seed beads.
- For necklace strap I use cotton cord and make an adjustable, sliding clasp.
I love combining natural materials in to one big and complicated piece of jewelry.

How to make adjustable sliding clasp for necklace
I am showing to you how to make adjustable sliding clasp for beaded necklace with cotton cord strap. For this tutorial you will need to know simple even-count peyote stitch technique.
Step 1: On 28” of thread, and leaving 6” tail work in flat, even-count peyote stitch to make one strip of 10 beads wide ant 16 rows tall (one 11oE, eight 11oA, one 11o E) (photo a-1). Secure the 6” tail thread in beadwork with a few half-hitch knots between beads, and trim.
Step 2: Cut a 2” long peace of cotton cord (photo a-1). Wrap it around the necklace strap. Then pick up a finished strip and wrap it around 2” folded cord (photo a-2). Zip up the first and last rows together, retrace the thread path a few times, and with the sharp needle sew through the middle of beaded strip and two cotton cords (photo a-3), weave through the couple beads and repeat one more time. Secure the working thread in the beadwork and trim.
Step 3: On 14” of thread and leaving 5” tail work in flat, even-count peyote stitch with 11oAs to make a strip of 6 beads wide ant 16 rows tall (photo a-4). Secure the 5” tail thread in beadwork with a few half-hitch knots between beads, and trim.
Step 4: Wrap finished strip around the necklace strap (photo a-5), zip up the first and last rows together (photo a-5). Retrace the thread path a few times, secure the tail in beadwork with a few half-hitch knots between beads, and trim. This last strip should slide, be careful not to sew through the cotton cord.

How I Create Cape Cod Necklaces from items found on the beach: sea glass, driftwood, beach stone and feathers
Beach-combing is a wonderful way to spend your free time by the water and a great way to get to know and explore your favorite Cape Cod beaches. On my trips to the shore I collect smooth and frosty gems – sea glass that later will be woven into beautiful Cape Cod-inspired Necklaces.
Beachcomber Necklace with Beach Stone and Sea Glass by Ezartesa.
Tumbled by waves, recycled by the sea, sea glass is a product of both nature and man. A quality piece of sea glass has no shiny spots, is well frosted, and has smooth edges.
Beach Glass Necklace in Sea Green and Brown by Ezartesa.
Every colorful and good quality piece I find gives me an idea of what kind of Cape Cod-inspired necklace I can create. First, I play with the shapes, then I think about color and then about the texture. Texture I create by weaving tiny glass seed beads around the piece of sea glass.
Sea Glass and Driftwood Necklace by Ezartesa.
For my Cape Cod Jewelry, I use a natural leather. First, I cut a desired length and width of leather strip, then I embellish it with tiny glass seed beads.
Lavender Sea Glass Necklace by Ezartesa.
While there are plenty of different kinds of shells and sea glass to discover, there are also wonderful beach rocks to be found on the shores of Cape Cod. I love collecting clear and milky quartz in different shapes and colors for my Cape Cod Necklaces. I use these adorable beach stones as a focal/center piece for my necklaces, and embellish them with matte, opaque and gold-plated glass seed beads.
Blue Sea Glass and Citrine Beach Stone Necklace by Ezartesa.
These pebbles are abundant on all the Cape beaches. What I am looking for when beachcombing, is whatever appeals to me: smooth, beautiful round or oval-shaped milky stones in peachy, yellow or grey colors. My favorite beach stone is clear quartz in light yellow or smoky brown color.
I treasure the stones that fascinate me personally, that challenge my thoughts and imagination. This is where my inspiration comes from every time I go to the beach.
Sea Green Sea Glass and Feather Beaded Necklace by Ezartesa.
Other items that I collect are driftwood and feathers.
White Feather, Beach Stone and Sea Glass Beaded Necklace by Ezartesa.
The jewelry you wear is an expression of your personality, passions, and lifestyle. While I design a new piece of jewelry I always think about what feeling, what mood and what story I want to tell with the jewelry piece I’m working with.

Making Jewelry From Sea Glass, Tutorial by Ezartesa.
What I love about the sea glass? There is no two identical pieces of sea glass. Every shape is unique and exiting! When I look for the quality pieces of sea glass for me is very important smoothness, absence of chips, shape and size. If I find a piece that’s still has a sharp edges or is not opaque, I just let it stay on the beach for more rolling.
When I designing a piece of jewelry, I always start with the color combinations, shape and size of the sea glass. Then I decide what seed bead color palette will be, or what patter I need to create to enhance the beauty of sea glass.
I like using a natural leather for my jewelry base. Usually wider and longer leather strip is cut for the centerpiece, and two or four smaller pieces arranged around it.
Beaded Cotton Tassel Necklace Tutorial by Ezartesa
Seed bead TUTORIAL: My favorite sea glass jewelry designs have incorporated handmade tassels, which are not difficult to make.
Step 1: Cut a winding board from heavy card stock, or cardboard; for the big tassel 6cm cardboard, for two small 4,5cm.
Step 2: Wind thread around board in loops until you reach desired fullness (as you work, you can change thread colors)
Step 3: Tie 5-inch thread into a tight knot around top of looped thread.
Step 4: Cut through looped ends (take it off board), and adjust it into tassel shape
Step 5: Cut a 12-inch length of thread to wrap tassel neck: Fashion 1 end of thread into a loop shape, then lay loop on tassel. Grasp the other end, and wrap it tightly around tassel and over the top of the loop to secure it. Wrap slowly, working from the top of the neck down, so neck threads lie evenly next to one another. As you wrap, ensure all the threads in the head and skirt are neatly in place. After wrapping neck, pass end of thread through loop and gently close loop, tucking ends into the head of the tassel. Trim tassel ends, a few threads at a time, to even them if necessary. On top of the tassel, cut the thread tales of too.
Step 6: Wash the tassels with shampoo, brush and dry.
I like to use natural feathers for my sea glass necklaces. I usually glue the feather to the middle of leather strip, and fold the other end of leather on top of feather. Then I work in flat, odd-count peyote stitch to make a strip form glass seed beads to put it on top of leather.
