INTRODUCTION

This is a wonderful beading pattern to guide you how to make this bracelet! Using only the 2-needle RAW beadweaving technique, you’ll be able to create a beautiful crystal bracelet. You can also choose any kinds of beads to create the bracelet, but learning the basic RAW technique, you’ll be able to create numerous designs and even turn this bracelet into a necklace.

The project is based on right-angle weave (ROW). It is so-named because of the way the beads lie at right angles to one another. From this project, you will learn how to add row, changing colors based on the pattern, as well as changing direction of a weave.

The project is catered to intermediate level, but the tutorial is written with a beginner in mind. It has clear step by step images to show you each step involving making the project. You can ask me question you have on the tutorial. No more getting stuck and frustrated on a confusing or just plain inaccurate pattern.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:

Materials

Approximately 100 x 4mm of colour 1 bicone crystals (A)

Approximately 64 x 4mm of colour 2 bicone crystals (B)

Clasps

1.25m (0.25 dia.) Nylon Thread

Few seed beads

Tools Needed • Scissors • Flat nose pliers • Needle measuring 12

DETAILED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare Your Needles and Thread Cut approximately 1.2m of nylon thread measuring 0.25 in length and thread it through your needle at both ends. Leave about 2cm tails at both ends. You will pass the beads through the needles throughout the creation of the bracelet!

Step 2: Stitch the First Unit Use the right thread to pick up 1A, 1A, 1B and 1B. With the left thread, cross into the last bead from the right thread.

When you cross the beads, be sure to pass though in the opposite direction as the other thread; when you finish, thread should exit both sides of the bead. Pull both ends of the thread taut at the same time. Let the first unit drop to the centre of the entire thread.

*Start here

Step 3: Stitch the Second Unit

Continue to thread in 1B, 1A on your right thread and 1A on your left thread. Cross left thread into the last bead from the right thread. You will continue with this process until you reach your desired length. Pull both threads taut at the same time.

*Start here

Step 4: Completing last set of first row. On the last set, you will thread in 1A, 1A on the left thread and 1B on your right thread. Cross left thread into the last bead from the right thread. You have just changed direction of the thread and getting ready for the second row.

Step 5: Stitching first unit of

second row. For second row, thread in 1A, 1A and 1B on the right thread (indicate as black thread). Cross left thread (orange thread) into the last bead from right thread.

Step 6: Stitch the second unit of second row. On the orange thread, pick up 1A, 1A. Pass the black thread into the bead marked as X from the first row. Then cross the black thread into the last bead from orange thread.

Step 7: Completing second row. Repeat step 6 till the end of the weave. You are almost done. To tighten the bracelet, just pass the threads back into the beads throughout the bracelet one more time. Once you have done it, make a small knot and cut off excess threads.

*Start here

Step 8: Attaching bracelet clasps. After you’re finished beadweaving the bracelet, cut 10 inches nylon thread and insert it into the last crystal on your right shown in red arrow. Then slide in 1 seed bead on the right and left threads. Slide in the bracelet clasps at both end. Insert one more blue seed bead after the clasp and continue to bring your thread into the crystal shown in red arrow then pull your thread. Repeat the same for your left thread. To finish it off, pass the threads back thru into several crystals until they cross or meet and then tie a knot. Pass again thru several crystals and cut excess thread.

Step 9: Repeat Step 8 for the other side. You’re done!
