    Quick Project Steps

    The Crystal Lace Bracelet is a simple project that can easily be completed by beaders of all skill levels. The light woven look sits comfortably on your wrist and can be made to sparkle and shine with the use of Potomac crystal Bicones.
    1.Put a stop bead onto some .006 Wildfire thread, leaving enough of a tail to attach a clasp. Create a pattern of a gemstone followed by 3 seed beads, repeated 4 times. Bring the needle back through the middle gemstone towards the stop bead. This gets the beads set up for the second row.
    2.Watch the PotomacBeads tutorial to see how Allie creates the design used to make the Crystal Lace Bracelet.
    3.When you have finished the desired length put on a clasp of your choice. This can be made with seed beads or by knotting the ends to attach jump rings and a simple clasp.
    The Crystal Lace bracelet is the perfect project to make when you’re looking for something quick to create. It’s easy to adjust the pattern for the width of your choice. This beaded bracelet would make a great last minute gift as it doesn’t use many materials.
