Mandela cuff tut w/photos: 3

Hi there!! I'm Reece, and today I'll be teaching you how to make a Mandela cuff XD

I don't know if this counts as art, but I'm saying it does LOL.

This is my first tutorial, so please feel free to lmk if I can improve anything: 3

First you need at least 5 colours in a gradient. You can use as many beads as you like, but I'm limited on beads today, so I'm using 4.

I chose dark orange, light orange, yellow, and white.

The items I used is;

- pony beads [ofc]

- something to cut the cloth elastic with [I used a knife, but I encourage you to use scissors]

- cloth elastic [at least 3 meters of it]

- and lastly, I used a tapestry needle to help "sew' the cuff together.

You'll want to start by making a basic X base cuff [the tut I used is linked here] You should use your darkest and second-darkest colors on this part; it'll make sense later.

Now that you've finished the base of the Mandela cuff, it's time to make it interesting! [AKA; 3d spikes]

you'll want to thread into one of your lighter colored beads, known as connector beads in this case. Do this the whole way around. remember to keep your elastic pulled tight for this part!

[side note; I realize my colours look like candy corn lol]

You'll want to get your second darkest, your middle and your second-lightest colour here. Basically just follow the photos but with your own pallet.

Once you've done that, tie off and thread your string into the point [in this case the white bead].

You'll be making the lower half of the spike now, so use the darker colour [orange] and the lighter one [yellow] and thread into the lower orange bead on the cuff.

Just like that! [My cuff is upside down in this image, but it doesn't really matter, as long as you're copying the pattern] now do that all the way around.

once it's done you'll have lovely 3D spikes.

for the final step, get 5 beads of your lightest colour and string them through the points on your spikes.

and then you're done! a lovely mandela cuff to enjoy. you can infitely make these bigger, with each X you add onto the base X cuff you'll be able to do more rows of spikes [as long as it's an even number] have fun!

For the company!

So I made a thing for a friend bc I'm going through it a little and their support genuinely means sooo much to me T^T

I knew it liked gloomy bear so I wanted to make it something they'd probably actually use, bc my first thought was 'oh, I'll make them a sick cuff!' But it doesn't really like big cuffs, they're more of a singles and small cuffs person, so I made a necklace instead!! I bullshitted my way through making it bc I couldn't find a pattern I liked that was within my skillset/that I had enough beads for, so I made my own pattern and figured it out as I went lmaoo

Will upload the pattern if anyone wants it, I can also do a numbered version too bc I find those super helpful-

for anyone who follows my kandi small business - (which i doubt anyone does considering i deleted the instagram and lost my old blogs for it, but i digress) - mercari has recently raised their selling fees and shipping fees have gone up drastically in my area. because of this i will have to raise my prices in order to make any semblance of profit. (which i need, i'm poor.)

if you're not following the shop but are interested here's the link! i sell kandi, toys and handmade jewellery!!

reblogs are appreciated

Does anyone know of any good Kandi groups/websites that are 18+? I love the Kandi patterns website but it is full of middle schoolers and I feel weird interacting on there lol
