Learn to make a vibrant tubular bracelet using a mix of colorful crystals, seed beads, and pearls. This dynamic design features a spiral pattern and options for a clasp or bangle finish. Use 6mm crystals, 11/0 seed beads, 8/0 seed beads, pearls, Dragon Thread, and optional wire guards for added durability. Master creating tubular beadwork, stacking beads for the spiral effect, and adding a clasp or bangle-style finish for versatility. Customize the bracelet with different bead sizes, color combinations, or additional embellishments for a personalized design.
Gather Materials:
6mm crystals. 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads. Optional pearls for added detail. Dragon Thread. Wire guards and clasp (or prepare for a bangle-style finish).
Set Up the Thread:
Attach a stop bead to your thread, leaving a 6-8 inch tail for later use.
Create the Base:
String two seed beads, one crystal, and another two seed beads. Connect them into a circle to form the foundation of the tubular design.
Start the Spiral:
Add a crystal, followed by two seed beads. Skip the previous crystal and thread through the next seed bead to stack the new beads on top.
Build the Tube:
Repeat the process, alternating crystals and seed beads, to grow the tubular spiral. Ensure tight tension for even stacking and a smooth spiral effect.
Customize the Design:
Incorporate pearls or alternate bead sizes for added texture and variety.
Finish with a Clasp:
Attach a wire guard to one end and loop the thread securely. Use jump rings to attach the clasp for a polished finish.
Bangle Option:
Instead of adding a clasp, sew the ends together to form a seamless bangle. Ensure the size is large enough to slide over your wrist comfortably.
Finalize the Bracelet:
Align beads, adjust tension, and secure any loose threads.
