Materials Used To make The  Project

Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
  • 6mm glass pearls (color: brown)
  • Size 8/0 seed beads (colors: dark raspberry iris and aqua green celadon)
  • Czech cut button (jade picasso)
  • Wildfire beading thread (0.006)
  • Size 10 beading needles
  • Quick Project Steps

    Start by threading your needles with Wildfire beading thread, then attach a Czech cut button using two of the raspberry-colored seed beads.
    Create the base of the bracelet using the raspberry and aqua green celadon seed beads, adding them in alternating groups.
    Introduce the 6mm glass pearls, alternating them with the seed beads to form the Diamonds & X's pattern.
    Complete the bracelet to your desired length, then create a loop with the raspberry seed beads for the clasp.
    Finish by reinforcing the clasp and weaving in the ends of the thread.
