  • Summit Bracelet - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads
Imagine the top of a giant mountain that has been covered by freshly fallen snow; that is exactly what Allie did when she decided to make her Summit Bracelet based on this breathtaking landscape. As a basic beading project, the only required materials are 1-Hole Halo Beads, Melon Beads, Potomac Crystal Rondelle Beads, and some Miyuki Seed Beads. However, use your imagination to envision beads of your choice in a 6mm and 8mm size as a replacement for the Melon Beads if you desire.

Quick Project Steps

Preparation: Cut a 5 feet long .006 wildfire beading thread and thread two needles, one on each end.
Start with Clasp: Place three 11/0 Miyuki Seed Beads on the thread, add a Cup Button, and secure with three more 11/0 beads on each needle.
Bead Sequence: Alternate between Czech Melon Beads, Halo 1-Hole Beads, and Potomac Crystal Rondelle Beads, using 11/0 and 15/0 Miyuki Seed Beads as spacers.
Embellishing: Add Miyuki Seed Beads around the Melon Beads for extra detail.
Finishing Touches: Once the desired length is achieved, create a loop for the clasp to sit in and tie off the threads securely.
