Retired - Sunburst Bracelet - Northern Lights

PROJECT B751
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate
The bead woven pattern of this bracelet looks much like a sunburst with the beads radiating out from the center. To create the design you will use Rulla beads, SuperDuos, MiniDuos, Austrian crystal faux pearls and Toho Demi Round seed beads.
Reboot: The pearls in this design have changed but look very similar.
