    Quick Project Steps

    Have fun making a delicate Crystal Disc Bracelet. This PotomacBeads tutorial shows you how easy it is to make this sweet little bracelet with a right angle weave using DiscDuos and any 4mm crystal that you’d like. 1. Using a size 10 needle, put a stop bead onto 4 and a half feet of size 6 Dragonthread. Leave about 10 inches for a tail. Pick up a DiscDuo, add 3 seed beads and go through the second hole. Pick up another 3 seed beads to decorate the other side of the DiscDuo. Pick up a seed bead, a Potomac crystal bicone, 3 seed beads, another bicone and another seed bead. Add a DiscDuo and repeat the pattern. 2. Watch the Crystal Disc Bracelet to follow along with Allie as she shows you how to create the beaded crystal bracelet. 3. Make sure the bracelet does not have a twist in it when you are ready to put on the second half of the clasp. Add 3 seed beads and sew through the infinite clasp, pick up another 3 seed beads and sew through the DiscDuo through the opposite side. Reinforce the clasp at least 2 times. Bring the thread down next to the DiscDuo and tie off on a bridge thread. Burn the loose edges. Glue in the cabochon. The Crystal Disc Bracelet is a great way to use up some multi-holed beads. You could make it as a necklace as well. Have fun creating it in frosty colors or some holiday colors to make a cute gift. Technique learned:
