    Quick Project Steps

    Gather up your favorite Potomac crystal bicone beads and some seed beads and you’re ready to create this glittering Crystal Stretch bracelet. Thread a big eye needle on about 4 feet of the .3mm Elonga stretch cord. Start the pattern by picking up 2 seed beads and a crystal. Go back up bead number one and add another crystal, sew down through the second seed bead. Pick up 2 more seed beads and another crystal. Sew up through the first bead of the group, add another crystal and go back down the second bead. Continue until you have 5 groups. Watch the Crystal Stretch Bracelet to see how to step up to continue onto the next rows of Hubble stitch until you reach you’re required length. Stitch the two ends together. Continue using the Hubble stitch on on end, use the crystals from the other side into the stitch to sew them together. Reinforce by sewing back through a few beads. Bring the two ends of the cord together. Tie a knot, sew back into the project to hide the knot. Carefully burn the ends. This pretty Crystal Stretch bracelet can be made thicker or thinner depending on how many rows you choose to stitch. Need a gift idea? This stretchy bracelet is a great option, sure to be loved by the recipient. Project Length: Size 7" Technique learned: Beadweaving
