    You’ll love the shine and brilliance of the Crystal River Bracelet. The soft opal color matches everything that you would like to wear this beautiful beaded bracelet with. Learn how to use right angle weaves in different directions to create the design in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
    1.Put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of beading thread, leaving about a foot of thread at the end. Pick up a bugle, 2 delicas, another bugle and 4 seed beads. Sew back up through the bugles and delicas. This will create the first RAW unit.
    2.Watch the Crystal River Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s step-by-step directions to create this beaded project.
    3.Reinforce the clasp at the end. Follow the thread line down into the project. Use one of the bridge threads to tie a knot onto. Burn the loose ends flush with the project. Glue a piece of the cup chain into the cup button using E6000 glue.
