Hi Marge,

Welcome to the blog. Your wish is my command :-) I’ve already created a tutorial video on how to make these very cool mobius beads. It is included in the Volume-009 Back Issue Package (See link by my name).

Is there any chance that you could make a video of this process? I just cannot imagine the process. If you make a video, would you send me a link to the video? Thank you in advance for your help.

Awesome beads! I will have to try making these. I am always looking ways to make different shaped beads and pendants. I also like the use of the bugle beads for the center.

@Anna: Thanks! You’re right, mobius beads do look great if strung through one of the loops! I forgot to mention that so thanks for reminding me!

@Keri: Glad you like it!

@Dora: Thanks! I thought it was Mike that introduced the shape. (Man with so much stuff flying around the net it is getting almost impossible to give proper credit anymore!) Glad you like the bugle bead tip. I think I came up with that, but you never know… someone may have tried it before me!

I love mobius beads ! Mike Buesseler first introduced these in a magazine article (can’t remember which one, Jewelry Crafts or Bead and Button??) I really like the tip about using a bugle bead for the center, I’ll have to try that.

I have made some of these beads and they are really pretty. It is nice to have a variety if bead shapes to work with. You did a great job writing a description of how to do the folding. I encourage others to try these beads because they are really easy to make. but they are really easy to make too. I did not pierce a hole in mine. I ran the beading wire through one of the openings formed by the mobius band: I alternated between round and mobius beads. This causes the bead to be more elongated on the wire. I love the bugle bead idea because it give the bead a much different look.

Wanted to mention that you close up photos are much easier to see. Thanks for making that change.
