    Quick Project Steps

    The delightful colors in this Carousel bracelet are sure to be a hit. In this PotomacBeads tutorial you will learn how to use a circular brick stitch to create this cheerful bracelet that is sure to brighten your day.
    1. Begin with a 9mm Czech glass ring, tie on a 4 foot piece of thread onto it. Thread on a size 10 needle, pick up 2 beads, let them drop down to the ring. Sew through the ring and back up through the second bead. Add another bead, sew through the ring, back to front and up through the bead. Continue adding beads around the ring, about 18 seed beads.
    2. Watch the Carousel Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she shows you how to step up to add new rows and connect the different rings.
    3. When you’ve reached your desired length, tie off the thread and burn down the ends flush with a thread burner. Add a new piece of thread to attach a wire guard and clasp.
    This is a fun and easy way to practice your brick stitch technique. The Carousel bracelet can be used with any beads or colors of your choice to make a unique piece. Find all your beading needs at PotomacBeads.
