MANDALA RING

What you'll need: 12 brown bicones 4mm and 4 honey bicones 4mm for the ring; for the length of your finger: 3 à 6 brown bicones 4mm et 3 à 6 honey bicones 4mm ; 10/0 Metal bronze seed bead; Nylon thread 0,30 or 0,35 (about 1m) ; glue

1st step : Thread three brown bicones (TMA) and pass both threads through the fourth TMA ; then thread 1 Honey bicones (TMI) on each thread and pass both threads through the bronze Seed Bead (PRB), then thread 1 TMI on each thread.

2nd step : Pass both threads through the first TMA (at the top of he drawing as shown above), the four TMI and the PRB must be over the 4 TMA now: this is your 3D center of the ring.

3ed step : Now, we'll ornate the center of the ring. Begin by "1", as indicated above. Put on one thread (indicated in black "1" above)1 TMA, 1 PRB et 1 TMA, then pass the tread back through the TMA at the top of the center ring, then put the ring through the TMA located on the left of the center ring (black thread "2") et and put again 1 TMA, 1 PRB et 1 TMA, pass the thread back through the left center ring TMA, and then throught one TMA and through the PRB just threaded (the black arrow indicated nead "2" above). You'll do exactly the same with the red thread: you thread comes out from the TMA located at the top of the center ring, so pass this thread through the TMA located at the right of the center ring, then thread 1 TMA, 1 PRB et 1 TMA, pass the thread through the right center ring TMA, then through the TMA at the lower part of the center ring and thread again 1 TMA, 1 PRB et 1 TMA, pass the thread through the lower center ring TMA and then through the left TMA center ring, through another TMA and the PRB, your read thread must pass through the PRB just on the contrary of the black thread so you obtain the same thing as show on the drawing above : the black thread is going out on one side of the PRB and the red thread must go out on the other side of the PRB.

4th step: If you pass the threads correctly, you must have a ring like this one (above).

5th and last step: Thread 4 PRB on each thread and cross the thread through 1 TMA, then thread gain 4 PRB on each thread and cross the thread through 1 TMI, alternate these two steps : 4 PRB and cross through 1 TMA - 4 PRB and cross through 1 TMI, until you can pass you ring through your finger. Then cross the two threads through the PRB located at the opposite side of the PRB where you began your net. Knot the threads one time, then glue it and knot the treads twice. Let the glue for some minutes and then pass the treads through several beads to hide them. Cut the threads. Here you are.
