Learn how to create an elegant pearl bracelet using 15/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls, and 3mm crystals in a structured right-angle weave pattern. The project begins with a base loop of six 4mm beads reinforced for stability, followed by adding 15/0 seed beads between 3mm bicones to achieve a subtle diamond effect. Using Dragon Thread (size six), a size 10 needle, and a stop bead, the design is extended by repeating the process of adding pearls, bicones, and seed beads. The clasp is secured with a wire guard and reinforced for durability. For a wider and more decorative bracelet, additional beads can be added along the sides, with final adjustments to tension and reinforcement ensuring a polished, sturdy finish.
Prepare the Thread & Stop Bead:
Cut a comfortable length of Dragon thread. Add a stop bead to prevent beads from sliding off.
Create the Base Loop:
String six 4mm pearls, forming a circular shape. Reinforce by threading through the pearls again to secure.
Begin the Right-Angle Weave:
Pick up one 3mm crystal, one 15/0 seed bead, one 3mm crystal, then go through the next pearl in the loop. Repeat this pattern all around.
Extend the Bracelet:
Continue adding pearls, bicones, and seed beads in the same pattern to achieve the desired length.
Attach the Clasp:
Secure a wire guard at one end and loop the clasp through. Reinforce by weaving through multiple times.
Final Reinforcement & Finishing Touches:
Go back through the bracelet, tightening the weave for durability. Add decorative beads to the sides if desired. Tie off and weave in the thread ends neatly.

It's basically fine. A little annoying that the cart items don't link back to the full item description, but this is a nit pick. Company seems all right.

For some reason the drop down menus don't work. Hover the mouse cursor over it, then try to click on something under it and nothing happens. I would have bought more if I could have looked around.

order form was difficult as it wasn't clear to me if the jewelry pattern was going to be shipped to me, or provide a website to retrieve a pdf of the pattern also: I didn't have my password, so requested to make a new one, and again, directions were not clear, tho I followed what it said, and it did not provide an oppty to create new password, just took me back to my order page!
I'm buying patterns because of the 50% mix and match sale, but the 50% off did not show up. So, it looks like I'm paying full price. I'm glad I was able to use rewards points, but nonetheless it's upsetting.

Very informative. I would like to know the stitches used to make each kit. Beautiful kits make it difficult to decide which to purchase.

The pearls were all nice except the cranberry color. I would not recommend them.

I love buying from Potomac, shopping is easy and the order arrives in a timely fashion. This was my first time buying kits, I love that I have extra beads now to add to my stash! I will be looking for more sales on kits to purchase again! Thank you for all you do to make my beading addiction more fun!
