[Tutorial] Crystal Bracelet #11
Tutorial : Crystal Bracelet #11
Level : Intermediate
This is not my design. I got the pattern and design from Thai craft magazine.
Equipment :
- Swarovski Bicone Crystal 4 mm.
- Seed Bead 11/0
- Nylon Thread
- Jumprings
- Clasp
- Crimp bead
- Bead tip
- Pliers
1.
Cut two nylon threads, 100 cm for each thread. Put the threads into crimp bead and then to bead tip. Crush the bead tip with pliers. I'm sorry I don't take the picture of these steps. But you can see my past tutorial how I start the bracelet by bead tip.
Alright, you will get 4 lines to work with. Pick up two lines, add two seed beads to both lines together (red arrow).
2.
Continue adding two seed beads to each line (red arrows).
3.
Pick up the remaining two lines, add one crystal, one seed bead and one crystal to each line.
4.
Join two lines from step 2 and 3 by a seed bead (red arrows).
5.
Pick up the two inner lines. Add one crystal to each line and cross them at a seed bead (red arrow).
6.
Pick up two lines that point to the same direction. Add three seed beads to the outer line. Add one crystal to the inner line. Cross them at a seed bead (red arrow).
7.
Do the same for the other side.
8.
Pick up the two inner lines. Add two seed beads to each line and cross them at a seed bead (red arrow).
Repeat from step 2 to 8.
It is my fault I forgot to take the photos how to end the bracelet. From step 8, instead of crossing the lines to one bead. You just put both lines into two seed beads together (same as step 1). And you do step 3. Then, you put all the four lines into bead tip and crimp bead. Pull all the lines tight before you crush the crimp bead. Close your bead tip, add jumprings and clasp. Then it's done.
I hope you like it.
Enjoy beading~
