Want to learn to make your own coiled wire spacers and make an adjustable bracelet? Check out this Mixed Media Maui bracelet to learn both of these techniques as well as basic knotting, burning and tying of nylon knotting cord. Join Allie in these step by step instructions to create the prefect summer bracelet design featured in the Potomac Beads best Bead Box Kit edition.
The Mixed Media Maui bracelet combines the amazing look of the original, Maui Beach Bracelet with new techniques and materials. Learn to create your own metal spacer beads using 24 gauge wire and round nose pliers. After the bracelet is completed, add more knotting cords to create an adjustable slip knot design. 1. Cut 12" of 24 gauge wire and pick up your round nose pliers. Hold the very end of the wire between the jaws of the pliers and begin to wrap the wire up the shaft of the bottom jaw of the pliers by turning your wrist. 2. After finishing your metal coiled spacer beads, cut 4 equal parts of knotting cord in 12-14 inch sections. Watch the Mixed Media Maui Bracelet Design video to see how to add beads onto your cord as well as knot the ends and make the lengths equal. 3. After tying all of the cord ends together, add the additional piece of cord and tie it around the other ends to create a split knot using a square knot. Once you are done with the square stitch burn off the ends of the design to finish off the bracelet. Vintage Lucite flower beads highlight the flow and movement of these lightweight statement earrings. Adjust the length of chain, size of beads, and colors to make more of these new summer earrings.

I have a hard time visually watching some of the tutorials. The white background fades out the beads and I can't see the instructions. I am a visual person and I need to see what is going on. I really like patterns.
