Bracelet
Skill level: beginner Toolbox: • 28 fuchsia-colored crystals (size 6/0) • 12 light-pink crystals (size 5/0) • 1 fuchsia-colored crystal (size 4/0) (for an accent charm) • 12 cranberry-colored round beads (size 6/0) • Copper-colored seed beads • Nylon thread (size B) • A clasp in mock antique metal • 5 – 7 rings in mock antique metal • A core in mock antique metal • Chain and round nose pliers • Beading needle (if you wish) Step 1. Place ten seed beads in the middle of 50 inches long thread. Cross the thread ends, pulling them toward each other through the last two seed beads. Add three beads to one end of the thread and five beads to the other end of the thread. Then cross the thread ends again inside the last two beads. Make one more ring in the same way. Step 2. Thread a cranberry-colored round bead, fuchsia-colored crystal and light-pink crystal. Then bring ten copper-colored seed beads down the other end of the thread. Cross the ends inside the last two seed beads. Then repeat the pattern but remember to bring the beads now down the left end of the thread to get a wave. Step 3. Keep the same order working on the next two patterns. There should be one round bead, two fuchsia-colored crystals, one bead and another fuchsia-colored crystal on one thread end. Raise the thread through the first crystal. You’ll get the `crown` set. Then thread the light-pink crystal. Thread 10 seed beads on the other end of the thread. Cross the thread ends inside the last two beads. Repeat the pattern but make a mirror image this time. Change the direction of work from right to left and vice versa to get this mirror effect. Then add three seed beads to one thread end and five seed beads to the other one. Cross the threads inside the last two beads. You’ll get the ring. Make four more patterns with the `crown` sets. Then make a ring again. Complete the work symmetrically like in the beginning of it. You’ll get two patterns with `crown` sets, two waves and three beaded rings. Step 4 (finishing). Link a ring and a clasp to one end of the bracelet. Link jump rings built chain to the other end. Add there an accent charm, made of crystal, size 4/0.
