Instructions
Bracelet Instructions
Note: Bead numbers are determined by counting from left to right.
Step 1
Add a beading needle to an arm-length of Fireline® thread.
Add a stop bead to the end of the thread, leaving an 8-inch tail.
Step 2
Pick up 5 neon salmon seed beads. Pass through all the beads again and pull tight to create a 5-petal flower.
Pass through the first and second beads again.
Step 3
Pick up five cherry seed beads then pass back through fourth bead of the previous row.
Pass through the second bead of this row again.
Repeat this step, alternating bead color for each row, until the desired length is reached.
Step 4
Pass through various beads near the end of the bracelet to exit the fourth bead of the last row.
Step 5
String half a clasp onto an Accu-Guard™.
Pass through the Accu-Guard and the fourth bead multiple times. Pass through various adjacent beads and tie a small knot to secure. Trim any excess thread.
Step 6
Remove the stop bead on the tail at the beginning of the bracelet and add a beading needle.
Repeat Step 5 to add the second half of the clasp.
