Create the Wedding Cake Bracelet, a layered and elegant design using Eva beads, PieDuo beads, Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, and 4mm bicone crystals. The tutorial teaches how to form individual geometric units that can be linked together to make a full bracelet, or used individually as earrings or necklace components. You'll work with DragonThread and create structured connections with alternating PieDuo orientations, adding sparkle with bicone centers and accent details.

  • Quick Project Steps

    Start with Stop Bead: Thread your needle with DragonThread and add a stop bead to anchor your start. Create Base Unit: Add: 3 x 11/0 seed beads, go down through Eva bead (V-side to open side). Add 1 x 11/0, then a Pi Duo (hole facing Eva). Add 2 x 11/0, then another Pi Duo in opposite direction (facing outward). Add 3 x 11/0 and go back through the first Pi Duo to complete the arc. Mirror the Structure: Add 2 x 11/0, one more Pi Duo, and 1 x 11/0, then finish the loop with an Eva bead. Add Center Crystal: Exit from the inner seed beads and add: 11/0 – 4mm bicone – 11/0. Cross to the opposite side and go through the matching seed bead to lock the crystal. Join Next Unit: Exit through the edge, repeat the full unit steps, but this time share the 4mm crystal between units to link them. Add Outer Arches: Along the edge Pi Duos, add: 3 x 11/0 – 4mm bicone – 2 x 11/0, skip the middle bead to form a pointed arch. Repeat to Desired Length: Continue building and connecting new units until the bracelet fits your wrist. Attach Cup Button Clasp: Add 3 x 11/0s, pass through the cup button, add 3 more 11/0s, then go back through the last bicone and reinforce. Create the Loop: On the opposite end, add 3 x 11/0s + 28 x 11/0s, form a loop, and reinforce with a V-formation for security. Secure and Finish: Use a bridge thread to tie a knot, weave the thread in, and burn off the excess for a clean finish.
