Here’s a list of beaded spiral rope projects that includes free patterns and tutorials you can use to create beautiful jewelry.

Beaded spiral rope projects may take a bit longer to make but they're so worth it! Here's a list of seven free patterns and tutorials.

If you find your bead collection is getting a little out of control and you’re looking for a clever way to use up some of those beads, then try making spiral rope jewelry.

I’m not going to lie, beaded spirals can take quite a bit of time to come together. Instead of working in a straight line, you’re pretty much going around in circles so it takes longer. But, it’s so worth the extra time and effort because they’re beautiful!

I’m going to give you a list of seven free video tutorials you can try. Each shows a different spiral beading technique. Why seven?

‘Cause why not?

Peyote Stitch Bracelet Pattern for beginners

Here’s the list of spiral beading tutorials:

1. Spiral Rope

This is one of my older tutorials where I show you how to make a beaded rope necklace using the Spiral Rope technique. It’s a simple pattern and in the video, I demonstrate how to end and add new thread.

Here are the materials you’ll need to create this necklace:

  • 10g 8/0 seed beads
  • 10g 11/0 seed beads
  • Approximately 10 – 3mm bicones per inch
  • 1 Clasp
  • 6.5 yards of beading thread
  • 1 size 10 beading needle
  • Thread burner or sharp scissors

Note: I think I made an error in the materials listed in the video. I believe I actually used 3mm bicones. Really and truly, this pattern is very versatile so you could use 4mm bicones or any other beads you wanted to here.


2. Double Spiral

Double Spiral Rope is a variation of the single Spiral Rope technique. In this tutorial, you’ll have two distinct groups of beads spiraling around the spine of the jewelry. This tutorial was created by Jill Wiseman.

There’s no materials list for this Double Spiral beading tutorial but it seems to me that she’s using size 8 seed beads for the core and two colors of size 11 seed beads for the spiral. Jill recommends that you stick to 8/0 or 6/0 beads for the spine beads.

This bead weaving technique is also very versatile and you can mix up the beads that you use to produce unique results.


3. Triple Spiral

In this Sara Spoltore video tutorial, you’ll learn how to create Triple Spiral rope which is another Spiral Rope variation. There will be three distinct loops of beads snaking their way around the core beads in this pattern.

You’ll need size 11 Delica beads, in addition to 8/0 and 15/0 seed beads.


Sara sticks to seed beads only in her demonstration but you can add any kind of beads you want. Click here to purchase my Triple Spiral Rope bracelet where I use lots of different beads to add texture and depth to the jewelry.

4. Russian Spiral

You can make quite dramatic changes in this beading stitch simply by changing up the size and type of beads used. The Russian Spiral beading instructions in this tutorial from Potomac Beads shows you how to create jewelry using 8/0 and 15/0 seed beads.


To switch things up, try the Helix Bracelet pattern that demonstrates how to make a spiral bracelet using seed beads and 6mm bugle beads.

5. Dutch Spiral

The open and airy finish of the Dutch Spiral beaded jewelry makes it really unique. Kelly Dale from Off the Beaded Path shows you just how to create your own spiral rope using this technique.

To make this beaded rope necklace, you’ll need:

  • 20g 11/0 seed beads
  • 15g 8/0 seed beads
  • 218 bicones, 4mm
  • 2 round beads, 6mm
  • 1 Clasp
  • 1 size 10 beading needle
  • 9 yards of Wildfire beading thread, 10lb

6. Cellini Spiral

I absolutely adore the Cellini Spiral. It’s gorgeous to look at and is fantastic for making statement necklaces and bangles.

The variation of seed bead sizes is what causes the undulating look of this Tubular Peyote Stitch variation. Beadaholique shows you how to make your own bangle in this tutorial.

Here are the materials for this beading project:

  • 15/0 seed beads
  • 11/0 seed beads, 2 colors
  • 8/0 seed beads
  • 6/0 seed beads
  • Beading thread
  • 1 size 12 beading needle

7. Twisted Tubular Herringbone

Herringbone Stitch has many variations and one of the more advanced ones is Twisted Tubular Herringbone. In this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to use three colors of seed beads to create a bangle using the herringbone technique.

These are the materials required for the beaded bangle:

  • 4g 8/0 seed beads, 3 colors
  • 6.5 yards of beading thread
  • 1 size 10 beading needle
  • Thread burner or sharp scissors
  • Bead mat

Try the Twist and Turn Bracelet beading pattern that uses 4mm round pearls instead of seed beads for a more elegant look.

There you have it — my list of seven spiral rope beading tutorials. If you have never tried one of these stitches, now’s a good time.

    What is the spiral rope you have on the intro? The beautiful one done in pink, gold and it looks like brown, maybe. I would LOVE to bead that one!
