    Quick Project Steps

    This PotomacBeads tutorial shows you how to make a mixed media bracelet using cork cording. The Adelweiss Bracelet is a great way to add a little bit of personality to your jewelry collection. 1. Put a stop bead on about five feet of beading thread. Pick up a StormDuo, a seed bead and another StormDuo so that the bottom tails face each other. Thread through the top hole of the last StormDuo and pick up a bell bead and 5 seed beads. Bring the needle back down through the other hole in the bell bead. This will form a tulip shape. Rethread through the StormDuos, bell and 3 of the seed beads. 2. Watch the Adelweiss Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie's step-by-step directions to finish the bead design. 3. Hold the beads on top of the cork to measure how long of a strip you will need. Cut it long enough to fit the clasp on the ends as well. Glue on the back of the bells and StormDuos and place on the cork onto the beads, center the beads. Glue the clasp to the ends.
