Black Eyed Susans are a seen as a symbol of encouragement and motivation, so what better way to show your support than to make a bracelet out of them? In this PotomacBeads tutorial, we'll show you how to make a Black Eye Susan bracelet that is both beautiful and meaningful.

Begin with a size 10 needle with size 8 dragon thread. Make a pattern with four DIscDuos separated by two 11/0s. Take the needle back through the first DiscDuo. Step up to the outer hole and add a light colored seed bead, a pearl and another seed bead. Bring the needle through the next DiscDuo. Repeat the pattern around the loop.

Watch the Black Eye Susan Bracelet tutorial to see how Allie adds sections together and decorates with Potomac pearls to create flowers in the design.

Add a cup button with seed beads to the end of the project. Bring the thread down through a few beads, knot and burn off the edge.
The Black-eyed Susan bracelet is a fun project that can have a variety of looks depending on the colors of beads used. PotomacBeads has a great selection of materials you can use to make your own. Go for a bright look with yellow and black beads. Or, you can get really creative and use any combination of colors you like! Project Length: 7
