Here is how to make a bikini~

***Default: The Bikini in the Tutorial is a C cup
here are the other measurements
Cup sizes:
A cup- 22 rows
B cup- 24 rows
C cup- 26 rows
D cup- 28 rows etc.

Step 1


~Cut a decent length of string
~Alternate lacing 2 beads, 1 bead as shown in the picture

Step 2



~This is what the end of Step 1 should look like
~Make sure there are two beads on the bottom and one bead at the top

Step 3



~Kandi Bikini's use the multi/peyote stitch
~How you get the triangle shape is you skip the first bead as shown above



~You only skip the bead at the top, not the bottom

Step 4



~Work your way down like this until you get this shape

Step 5



~Make sure to leave the last four rows as shown

Step 6



~String on two more beads on either side so that the cups will fit together nicely

Step 7



~Weave the string through the opposite cup as shown above

Step 8



~Pull the string and tie off so the cups connect

Step 9



~When you get to the backstrap, continue the peyote stitch without skipping the first bead
~You should have a nice four-row strap forming fairly shortly

Step 10



~Continue this until you get the length desired
~The best way to get the right length is to measure the ribcage right underneath the breasts
~To make sure the strap doesn't slip, make it about 1/2 an inch to 1 inch shorter

Step 11



~Weave the straps together just as you joined the cups.

Step 12



~The neckstrap will be like making a double
~Starting from the top of the triangle, put the ends of your string through the second row of beads as shown above

Step 13



~Now put both ends on the string through the top bead as shown above

Step 14



~Now, string the beads as shown above for the neckstrap.
~Continue this pattern until the bikini rests where you want it
~Make sure to pull the string tight, otherwise, you'll get no support and your tatas will fly out

Finished Product

Do you want huge cuff kandi like this? It's really pretty simple.
(Hint: It looks AwEsOmE if you use rainbow colors.)





1. First, make a single bracelet and tie it off.


2. Then, get a string that is a bit bigger than the string you used for your first bracelet, and thread it through one of the beads on the single kandi.

3. Thread on one bead...

4. ...and then, thread the string through the next bead.

5. Repeat that process until you have gone around the whole bracelet.

6. Now you have two layers to your bracelet!

To get a big bracelet, just keep repeating these steps until you are satisfied with the size. The one in the first picture is 6 layers.

Here is how to make a neckchain.





1. First, get a loooong piece of string, and a keyring. Fold the string in half, and but the loop end through the keyring.

2. Now thread the other end of the string (the not looped part), through the loop.

3. Pull it tight and the string will be attached to the keyring. It should look like this. (But remember to pull it as tight as it goes.)

4. Now start threading beads on both strings together, like this.

5. When you've got a little bit there, start threading beads onto each string separately.

6. Keep threading the beads on each end separately, like this.

7. Tie it off at the end.

You can also use these clippy things, instead of a keyring.

Neckchains are awesome for holding glowsticks, pacifiers, and even Tamagotchies.

Awesome 3-D kandi like this is pretty easy to make, especially if you're good at making cuff kandi.





1. Make a single bracelet.


2. Get another string, a bit bigger than the first one you used. Thread it through one bead.


3. Put three beads on, and thread it through every fourth bead of your first bracelet until you completely go around it, then tie it off.


4. Now you have a two-layer bracelet. On the second layer, thread a new string through the bead in the middle of the three beads and put three beads on the string.


5. Now, instead of threading through every fourth bead, thread through every third bead and put three beads on until you complete the circle.


6. Keep repeating these steps for as many layers as you want, until you have some nice weaved kandi looking like this.

7. Then, instead of starting to weave another layer onto the layer you just finished, thread the string through every third bead on one of the middle layers you have already done.

8. You can do anything you want once you know how to do this type of weaving.

Here's how to make cool twisted kandi like this.



1. Get three strings (make sure they are all stretchy) and tie them together.


2. Chose three different colors of beads.


3. Thread three beads of one color onto the first string, then three beads of the second color onto the second string, and then three beads of the third color onto the third string.


4. Then get a star bead (or anything you want to use, it can be a regular one too!), and thread that bead onto the three strings all at once.


5. Repeat until you reach the end of the string, and then tie the ends together.



Make sure it's really tight, otherwise you get to experience the nightmare of having your bracelet come apart the first time you try it on, and the beads scatter everywhere. D:

[bit_witch]

Very nice, clear instructions and cool results biggrin

[Chianne]

These are really cute. Thank you very much for the clear tutorial. I may have to try my hand at one too. whee

[Shiny Coffee Fiend]

I'm going to try the first (and maybe the 3D) in smaller beads. I used to do it all the time, but I stopped for a few years, and no longer have the book I learned from, so this is helpful, thanks! <3

[Toxic love bunny]

Finally a kandikid thread I can't make 3ds ><

[Vanilla Nova]
