Instructions for Box Drops Swirl and Capture
Instructions for Box Drops Swirl and Capture
This tutorial contains 22 pages of detailed steps on how to build various aspects of Box Drops Swirl units and Box Drops Capture units. Included in this tutorial is how to make a small unit for lovely earrings or a pendant, a wide chain that makes a cuff bracelet or choker necklace, a slender chain, and an entire sheet that could be used to make interesting garments.
This is a versatile weave and works with a wide range of AR ring sizes. If you don’t understand AR, not to worry! I tested eight different ring sizes and included all of them in this document.
This tutorial assumes you know how to weave a chain of Box Drops. Everything in these instructions is built on that chain.
When building a box drops swirl unit, the rings that make up the swirl go into difficult places—especially when using rings for a tighter weave. I have rated that part of these instructions as Intermediate. For the capture section, I rate it as Experienced Beginner.
