  • Quick Project Steps

    This PotomacBeads tutorial teaches you all the basic stitches and how to use them in the same piece to create this fascinating Flat Stitch Sample Bracelet.
    1.Using a size 10 needle on about 4 feet of beading thread, pick up 4 seed beads. Sew back up the first 2. Go back through the last 2. Pick up 2 more seed beads and sew through the top of the beads the thread is coming out of and back up the current 2. This is the ladder stitch.
    2.Watch the Flat Stitch Sample bracelet tutorial to learn how to do all the stitches on separate strands.
    3.Finish all the strands and burn the thread ends down. Attach the brick stitched clasp component to the strands. Weave the thread back into the project and then tie of and burn the edges. Attach the other clasp end. Glue the Czech cabochon into the Potomax infinite clasp.
    This is a great project to learn and practice the different stitches used in bead weaving. The Flat Stitch Sample Bracelet looks like multiple beaded bracelets when worn. Check out PotomacBeads for any materials you may need to create this and other beautiful beaded jewelry.
