Matte black and purple pearl twin beads are woven together into round beads in a delicate flower pattern and then strung together to form a stretch bracelet.

Instructions

I made this bracelet to fit snugly around my wrist, which measures about 6". Be sure to measure your wrist, decide if you'd like it to fit snugly or looser, and adjust the number of beaded beads you use accordingly. Each beaded bead will add a little less than 1/2".

Before you begin, watch the videos: How to Make a Beaded Bead Using Twin Beads and How to Make a Stretch Bracelet. These videos will teach you the techniques used to make this project.
Follow the instructions in the first video to make 14 twin bead beaded beads, using the beads in the following colors to achieve the contrasting color flowers.
Make the first group of 5 twin beads with jet/matte plum pearl twin beads. Make groups two through six using matte jet twin beads. For group seven, add one matte jet, one jet/matte plum pearl, and then another matte jet. For groups seven through ten, add one jet/matte plum pearl then one matte jet. Finally, for group eleven, add one jet/matte plum pearl.
When you have finished weaving your beaded beads, tie off your thread and weave in the ends.
Next, cut a length of Opelon Floss Stretch Bead Cord about a foot long. Place a bead stopper a couple of inches from the end of the cord.
Place the end of the cord through a wide eye needle.
String your beaded beads onto the needle, and finish your bracelet as shown in the stretch bracelet video.
