    Quick Project Steps

    Go back to the basics of bead weaving with this PotomacBeads tutorial. The light jade colored Czech drops with the metallic vintage copper EVA beads give this Captive bracelet a classy look that you’ll be proud to wear out and show off.
    1. Size 12 needle on 5 feet of .006 beading thread. Put 1 gold and 1 turquoise seed bead onto the thread. Bring both needles through the cup button. Bring one needle through the button and seed beads and back down the button to reinforce. Add 3 gold seed beads, a Czech drop and another seed bead to each needle.
    2. Watch the Captive Bracelet tutorial to see how Allie captures a DiscDuo bead between EVA beads to begin the pattern of the bracelet.
    3. Create a loop on the end with turquoise seed beads. Tie off the threads and burn down the ends.
