Instructions

Choose your favorite color palette to make this design!
  1. Cut an arm's length of thread and add it to your needle. Use the beads from the Modern Twist Palette to create a tubular herringbone stitch. Start the first ladder stitch row of the bracelet with 8 dark blue seed beads from the palette. The second row will also be dark blue seed beads. The next two rows are the iridescent blue color and the two rows after that are the dark blue color again.
  2. Follow this pattern for the subsequent rows: 1 row dark pink; 1 row light pink; 2 rows dark blue; 2 rows iridescent blue; 1 row light pink; 1 row dark pink; 1 row light pink; 2 rows dark blue; 2 rows iridescent blue; 2 rows dark blue
  3. Repeat this pattern for the desired length. We repeated three times, then ended the bracelet with a dark pink row, a light pink row, a dark pink row, two dark blue rows, two iridescent blue rows, and two dark blue rows. Secure and trim your threads.
  4. Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide the tubular herringbone rope onto the center of the wire.
  5. Add a Preciosa bicone to one side of the bracelet, followed by an iridescent blue seed bead. Repeat twice.
  6. Repeat the previous step on the other side of the bracelet.
  7. Add a crimp tube to one end of the bracelet, followed by the clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
  8. Add a crimp tube to the other end of the bracelet, followed by a closed jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and make sure that there are no gaps in your bracelet. The bicones should nestle inside the herringbone rope. Hold your piece up to make sure the herringbone rope hangs nicely, too. Crimp the crimp tube in place.
  9. Hide each crimp tube with a crimp cover.
