    Quick Project Steps

    This PotomacBeads tutorial shows you how to make this simple design to create a delicate Genevieve bracelet. The silver IrisDuo beads really allow the color to pop in this pretty piece you’ll love to wear again and again. 1. Put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of white, size 6 Dragonthread with a size 10 needle. Pick up an 11/0, an IrisDuo and another 11/0. Pick up an EVA bead from the point to the opening, add a 15/0, 4mm crystal and another 15/0 and sew back down the other side of the EVA. Repeat the pattern, take the needle back through the first 11/0 and IrisDuo, pull tight to round out the design. 2. Watch the Genevieve bracelet tutorial to see how to complete the pattern by following along with Allie. 3. Once you’ve reached your desired length, add a Potomax infinate cabochon clasp along with a few seed beads on each side. Reinforce by threading it a couple more times. Sew the thread back into the project and bring it out in the middle of the project, tie a double knot, then bring the thread a little further into the project before burning off the ends. This is an enjoyable project that doesn’t take too much time to complete. The movement and flexibility of the design would make a great necklace as well.
