The shaggy weave is a fun weave that you can use just rings, beads or scales like in this tutorial. You can make earrings, bracelet or necklaces.......it's a great weave to start with.
Most importantly, have fun with it.
Required Materials:
14G (1.6mm) 6.35mm(1/4”)ID Anodized Aluminium Jump Rings x 8
Small Anodized Aluminium Scales x 16
1 pair of ear wires
Before you start: open all your jump rings.
1.
Thread 2 scales onto an open jump ring (make sure they have their bumps pointing out) along with your ear wire. Close your ring.
2.
Separate the scales so you can see the ring between them. You will attach your next pair of scales here.
3
As in step 1 put a pair of scales onto another opened jump ring and then thread this ring through the first closed jump ring. Close your ring.
4.
Same as in Step 3 pick up a pair of scales onto another jump ring and thread it through the last closed ring. Close the ring you are working with.
5.
Keep repeating these steps until you have the length you want. Once finished flip up and you have your completed earring. Do again to make a pair.
Design Tips:
·To create a different, fuller look when adding your scales flip them over the other way so the bends in the scales are pointing in.
·By extending the length of the earring and adding a clasp you can create a matching bracelet.
