    Quick Project Steps

    Watch this PotomacBeads tutorial to see how to use 2 needles and a zig-zag design to create the beautiful San Fran Twisted Bracelet. 1. Put 2 size 10 needles onto about 5 feet of size 6 DragonThread. Put on an 11/0, a Potomac pearl and another 11/0. Bring both needles up through the holes of a cup button. Put 3 seed beads onto each needle. Pick up a SuperDuo with both needles. Make sure both threads are the same length and get ready to create the pattern. 2. Watch the San Fran Twisted Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she guides you step-by-step through the process of creating the graceful beaded bracelet. 3. When you get to the end of the project, add seed beads to create a loop big enough to fit the button clasp. Sew back through the last Potomac crystal and reinforce the loop at least twice. Embellish the sides with seed beads and Potomac pearls. Tie off the threads and burn any loose edges. Have fun playing around with shapes, colors, crystals and pearls to create a unique version of the San Fran Twisted Bracelet. Find any materials that you need at PotomacBeads. Technique learned:
