This stitch is so much fun, and I love the feel of tube created. The little hint about ending with a head pin and a bead attached-tucked down inside the tube, was new to me. That, I think, is a good excuse for playing with the Russian Spiral stitch again. Thanks, Leah, for sharing this fun stitch with us.
Love your tutorial...you take your time and explain clearly all the steps. Love it! Next is to visit your website and purchase beads! Thanks! These will make beautiful Christmas presents for my friends!
Thank you for this tutorial, I have watched many channels on how to do the Russian Spiral, yours is the first one that has made any sense to me, I appreciate your step by step on how to and the close ups on your tutorials..I just subscribed!
Dear Leah, I really am inspired by your tremendous videos! Can I substitute 8o for 11? If so what size fits polish or druk w would I need? Also how to figure out how many I need for a necklace? Btw you have a lo elyvoice...very calming videos that cause great I inspiration plus practical problem prevention! Blessings, Grace in Vt
Hi Grace! If going with an 8/0, you couldn try jumping to a 6mm FP or druk? But I wonder if tension might become an issues...you might have to work harder to keep things from feeling too wonky and loose. If you change the bead size, I'm not sure how many would be needed for a necklace. One you do a sample inch, you should then be able to figure out based on how many it took and how many inches you want the necklace to be. :-)
@@EurekaCrystalBeads Dear Leah, What helpful ideas! honest, i never thought of trying one inch to see. May i ask where you get your fire polish? i live in Vt in rural area where we sadly have no beads to play with. I love your channel i love your videos and find you so inspiring! i am very ill and you cheer me up too. Thank you so much! Ps. could you do a close up for the ending w head pin and bead? I am so grateful to be able to communicate and get guidance and i am self taught. Bless you, grace
So pretty!!! I just learned the Russian Spiral technique I love it. But I saw other bracelets made with kumihimo I know the technique is totally different. But they look the same (to me I don’t know the kumihimo technique yet )Do you know the difference of the results ? THANK YOU
The Russian spiral gives you defining lines with seed beads, and the in between spiral goes in a different direction .. and most times you use seed beads, round, bicone or FP shapes. Kumihimo.. the spirals go in the same direction.. also, you can really play with the amount of strings and bead variations used for varied results both techniques are fun once you’ve chosen the colors !💖
Hi Leah, thanks so much for this tutorial, I love this stitch! I think someone else asked, but I would love to make a bangle with no clasp, but I have such a hard time “closing the tube.” Do you think you could do a short add-on or new video to show the best way to do this? Or perhaps there is another EC video you can refer me too? Thank you so much! Danielle from CA 😉
Absolutely! I would find it easier to go down a size to 4mm beads in that case though...as with the 6mm's you have to make it quite large to fit over the hand. 4mm's tend to roll on a little easier. :-) -Leah
Hi there! It depends on how large you are making your bracelet and how you are intending to finish it (clasp or sewing it together to make a bangle). It is very hard to estimate.
@@EurekaCrystalBeads I would like to use a toggle clasp which is about 1.25” total including jump rings. My total bracelet size needs to be 7.75” long. So the beaded part will be 6.5”.
Hi Kathleen! The easiest way for my to explain adding thread is with this particular technique: Weaving in a new thread and exit the same spot your old thread is. Take the new thread and the old thread and tie them in a nice tight square knot. Then continue with your spiral on your new thread. Then, a little later, take a needle and weave in those two tails at the joined area (the tail from the new thread and the tale from the old thread), weaving them away from each other in opposite directions and tying a couple of half-hitch knots in your beadwork. :-)
I cant do this i treid three time and it look like its a mess it does not go like a you said it way to much .I will do some thing diffrent this is to hard when I got long nails
You are best teacher on net. Thank you very much 🌹
Wow, thank you! 💕
I watched this again and admire your mix of shapes and finishes.
Thanks so much!
V. V. Nice. Very clear demo. Give more. Thanks
More to come!
This was a lot of fun. I made two versions. One with just the normal sized pony beads, and one using normal pony and mini pony beads.
Wow great! Glad you liked the video!

Looks really fun. How do I know how many beads I need? Thanks for sharing.
I have the same question. If I order 3mm fire polished beads from your website is 50 beads per strand in three colored enough for a 7 inch bracelet?
Great question.
It takes about (36) 3mm Firepolish beads per inch :-) Sorry I didn't mention that in the video. Mental note for next time... :-) -Leah
Thank you so much for the update! ~Mary
Hi just wondering if we can use different size firepolish beads eg 3mm and 4mm. Thanks!
Yes, absolutely! 💖

Hi Danielle, we will look into it! We have so many more ideas on the horizon! Thanks for watching!
So cute 😍
Thank you!
Awesome 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Could this be finished off bangle style rather than using a clasp? Beautiful project!
Absolutely! I would find it easier to go down a size to 4mm beads in that case though...as with the 6mm's you have to make it quite large to fit over the hand. 4mm's tend to roll on a little easier. :-) -Leah
@@EurekaCrystalBeads thanks so much!
Thank you
You're welcome Thanks for watching! 😍
Is there a way to make this a seamless bangle?
Hi..from Canada..PQ…Montréal
Hello there!
The trick I learned about when to do the step up is when you see one seed bead between the 2 firepolish
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
