The bracelet in this project measures approximately 7.5". You should have enough beads to make a slightly longer bracelet as well. If you want a considerably longer bracelet, you will want to order another pack of Czech Glass beads.
- Start this project by measuring 6 feet of thread and placing a needle onto one end. On the other end place a stopper bead that is around 18 inches from the tail.
- To do the actual bead weaving, please watch the video: How to Bead Weave a Bracelet using CzechMates 2-hole Crescent Beads. This video will show you how to create the fanned pattern and how to attach and tie off the clasp.
- Please note that the video shows you how to attach one half of the clasp, just repeat the same technique to attach the second half.
