Instructions:

Measure your wrist before you begin so that you can decide how long you will want your bracelet to be. The cuff style looks best with a somewhat snug fit. Keep in mind that the clasp will add about half an inch to the length.

Begin by cutting as long of a length of white Wildfire beading thread as you are comfortable working with. I like to work with about 6' of thread at a time, but find the length that feels comfortable to you. Thread a size 12 beading needle with the length of thread. You will need to end your thread and begin a new one once or twice while weaving this bracelet. Watch the video: How to Tie Off and Add a New Thread in Bead Weaving to learn how.

Watch the video: How to Bead Weave a Twin Bead Bracelet Using a Circular Stitch. This video will show you how to weave together your twin beads and size 11/0 Delica beads in this circular stitch. Follow the instructions given in the video to complete your bracelet. The video will also explain how to attach a clasp to your bracelet.

Variations

Change the colors or finishes of your twin and seed beads to achieve many different looks using these instructions.

When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
