Bracelet with Seed Beads

Cut an arm's length of FireLine beading thread. Add a beading needle then a stop bead, leaving a 7-inch tail.

Pick up two yellow seed beads and five green seed beads. These will be the first two rows of the pattern.

Pick up one green seed bead to begin Row 3. Skip the previous seed bead then pass back through the next.

Continue to follow the peyote pattern provided. Pass through various seed beads to secure the thread, exiting from the first bead of the last row.

Pass the thread through the first loop of the clasp then through the second high bead. Continue to weave the thread through the beads and the remaining loops of the clasp. Weave the remaining thread into the bracelet to secure the clasp. Trim the excess thread.

Repeat to attach the second portion of the clasp to the opposite end of the bracelet.

Using scissors cut a 3-yard length of FireLine. Weave the thread into one end of the bracelet until it is secure. Once secure, weave the thread so it exits the last bead in the first row along the edge.

String onto the thread three size 11 silver-lined teal beads. Pass the thread through the last size 8 bead on the second row and then back out through the last size 8 bead in the third row.

String onto the thread three size 11 silver-lined lemon beads. Pass the thread through the last size 8 bead on the second row and then back out through the last size 8 bead in the third row.

Repeat step 3 to attach three size 8 Delica seed beads to the outer edge of the size 11 bead down the length of the bracelet in the following order; silver-lined blue AB, opaque rainbow cream, silver-lined teal and silver-lined lemon in a repeating pattern.
