    Quick Project Steps

    Have fun with some new techniques in this PotomacBeads Tutorial and learn some Aquarius trivia facts along the way. The Aquarius Constellation Bracelet gives off a beaded embroidery look, with a sparkling starry border. The adjustable band makes this bracelet a fit for all sizes.
    1. String 15 bicones onto the thread. Put a ring of glue around the inside of the cabochon setting. Place the bicones onto the glue. Set aside to dry. Pull the thread out from the beads once dry.
    2. Use a marker to map out the constellation on the inside of the setting. Watch the Aquarius Constellation Bracelet tutorial to see how to build the constellation with the seed beads with glue.
    3. Thread the Greek leather cording through the cabochon setting. Knot the cording on the sides of the setting. Tie a sliding knot to make an adjustable band. Use some permalac to coat the beads if you'd like.
    If you're looking for a piece of jewelry that's unique and has a special meaning, look no further than the Aquarius Constellation bracelet. It's the perfect gift for anyone who is an Aquarius or has an interest in astrology.
