From 2016-2019 it seemed like everyone was making Kaleidocycles. I swore I would never make one because I don't like making the same component over and over. Well when I went to the Contemporary Geometric Beadwork Retreat back in May, Kate pulled some of the Kaleidocycles out and I just groaned. She heard my audible grown and I was telling her about not wanting to make one. In her most polite way, Kate told me that I needed to get over that and just make one already! She said that I may not learn from the component making but I would defiantly learn about the mechanics of the piece. So, I groaned again and told her that I would make one. To hold myself accountable I decided to do a Kaleidocycle Bead-Along this summer which will start on Monday. In this new video I will be showing row by row how to make the first triangles of the Kaleidocycle. If you'd like to bead along with me this summer you can grab the free pattern for the first triangle here:

The pattern will also show the color 11/0 Delica Beads needed for the project. If you don't like the colors on the pattern, simply put in your own colors!
Here is another great resources for you about the Kaleidocycles:

If you've made a cycle before please know that I probably won't be showing how to put it together the same way you learned. Kate gave me a great resource on the easiest way they've found to put them together and that's what I'll be going by.
Please Please Please do this bead along with me so it will keep me motivated to keep going on mine lol.
