Materials Used To make The  Project

Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
  • 4-hole QuadraTile beads (Purple Matte Metallic Suede color)
  • Miyuki 11/0 Seed Beads (Galvanized Silver, Chartreuse AB)

  • Quick Project Steps

    Preparation: Cut a 5-foot piece of beading thread, add a stop bead, and attach a needle.
    Starting the Bracelet: Thread one QuadraTile bead, add an 8/0 seed bead, then another QuadraTile, creating the foundation.
    Adding the Clasp: Introduce the cup button at one end, securing it with 11/0 seed beads.
    Creating the "X" Pattern: Use 15/0 seed beads to create an "X" pattern over each QuadraTile bead by threading through the beads in a specific order to achieve the design.
    Inserting 3mm Beads: After completing the "X" pattern, add 3mm beads along the sides of the bracelet for decorative purposes and to tighten the structure.
    Finishing Touches: Secure the loop for the cup button, reinforce the structure, and tie off the thread. Optionally, add an adjustable loop for size variation.
