Corkscrew Fringe Tutorial

Two strands of finished corkscrew fringe. You can give each strand a gentle twist with your fingers before securing it to the beadwork.

Jennifer VanBenschoten
Remember that corkscrew fringe works best when you have two different sizes of beads. For an even more dramatic twist, use a size 11 and a size 8 bead - the bigger the difference in size, the bigger the twist.

You can help the twist a long a little by giving each strand a gentle twist with your fingers before securing each strand.

You can make the strand turn into more of a "J" shaped curl by passing the needle and thread up through the strand of B beads instead of A beads in Step 5.
