Seed Bead Bracelet Tutorial

Feeling quietly pleased with myself over this bracelet. It's got a beautiful simplicity to it and looks great on.


I found the design for this on pinterest, like i mentioned in my last post (pom pom bracelet) im a little addicted to pinterest. Anyway the idea is curtisie of a blogger called teahab, her design is a ombre design of blues but ive gone for a more sparkly design.

To make this you will need tiger wire, seed beads, colettes, jump rings, chain and a clasp.


First cut six lengths of 12cm tigerwire and secure a colotte on the end of each of them. Once you've done that fasten two together with a jumpring. You should now have 3 sets of 2
Now your ready to put ur beads on. I choose tube seed beads for my design, a dark blue, a pearly purple and a bead that changes colour with the light. When you've threaded them on secture with colotte.
Next fastening each of the twos together with another jumpring.
Add each of these 2 on to another jumpring so there all now fastened together (see picture below).
 With your 3 threads of 2 plait until they meet at the end and fasten together with a jump ring.
 
You now have the basics of the bracelet. all thats left is to attach the chains to the jump ring and add a clasp to one of the chains and a final jump ring to the other side.

 
There you have it, one finished bracelet.
 
This bracelet is for sale on Fashion Magpie Jewellery's website now for £8.99
