PROJECT B739
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Pretty and Fun!

I loved this bracelet and used the turquoise, coral, and gold beads shown in the picture. This piece was fairly easy to make and the clasp is beautiful and ties it all together nicely! I can't wait to wear this in the spring/summer. I highly recommend!
