Bracelet with Delica Seed Beads, Cupchain and Crystal Passions® Beads

STEP 1
Map out the diamond pattern measuring 18 beads wide using our FREE printable Loom Work graph paper.

STEP 2
Load the Mirrix Loreli weaving loom with 19 warp threads (one more thread than the number of beads used in the design).
STEP 3
Cut a 3-foot length of black size D Nymo® thread and four 6-1/4 inch lengths of black 2mm cupchain.

Note: It may be necessary to cut additional lengths of thread later in the design. If there is 6 inches or less of thread remaining in the previous length simply weave the remainder through and start a new length of thread.

Thread a beading needle almost doubling the thread (to make it easier to work with) but leaving a tail so you are working with only one thread. Temporarily tie the tail to the bar on one side of the loom.

Row One

STEP 4
String 18 black #11 seed beads onto the needle. Pass the needle around the back side of the warp threads. Use your index finger to press the seed beads so one seed bead sits between each thread. Pull the thread through the seed beads keeping them in place with your finger.

Bring the needle around the front side of the warp thread then pass through the seed beads in the opposite direction.
STEP 5
Untie the knotted tail and tie the tail and the working thread in a knot close to the seed beads to secure them in place.

STEP 7
Pass the needle through several seed beads looping the thread through adjacent rows to secure then trim excess.

Thread a needle onto the tail of the thread then pass through adjacent seed beads and trim excess thread.

Separate one warp thread from the design from the loom, keeping the other warp threads tight, and thread a needle. Pass through adjacent seed beads then trim excess thread. Repeat to secure each warp thread.
STEP 8
String one jet AB 6mm round onto one 1-1/2 head pin then form a simple loop, creating a 6mm round drop.

Pass one 6mm jump ring through the 6mm round drop and an additional 6mm jump ring then close. Continue to connect a total of nine 6mm jump rings, creating an extender chain.
STEP 9
Insert the first link on two lengths of cupchain, the first row on one end of the seed bead strip and the first link on the remaining two lengths of cupchain into the tube slot on one 40x4mm end bar. Press the rounded end cap on the end bar close securing the chain and strip in place.

Repeat to secure the opposite ends of the chains and strip.
STEP 10
Use one 5mm jump ring to attach the last jump ring in the extender chain to the single loop on one end bar. Repeat to attach a lobster claw clasp to the opposite end bar.
