    Quick Project Steps

    In this PotomacBeads tutorial, learn how to make a right angle weave to create a cute In the RAW bracelet. This is a great project for beginner beaders.
    1. Put a stop bead onto .006 Wildfire thread leaving about 3 inches for a tail. Pick up 4 Potomac pearls, separated by seed beads with a size 10 beading needle. Take the needle back through the first pearl and pull it into a box shape. This is the first RAW unit.
    2. Watch the In the RAW Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s step-by-step directions to form this delicate beaded bracelet.
    3. Make a loop out of seed beads for the button to sit inside of. Thread through the loop again to reinforce it. Go back through the project a little and tie off the thread end using a bridge thread. Sew away from the knot and burn down the thread edge.
    This is a great beginner’s tutorial to learning the RAW stitch. Once you’ve mastered this easy technique used In the RAW Bracelet, you’ll be ready to bead even more beautiful projects. You can find everything you need to become a better beader at PotomacBeads.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
