This cute little bracelet is based on my "Round Lace Bracelet" Pattern. You can probably make it in half the time because it is half the bracelet. I have also included step-by-step instructions on how to do the simple closer. No need to run out and get a metal closure. You can easily make it with the same beads you used for your bracelet.

A = Miyuki, 11° SEED beads
B = 4mm Fire-polished crystals Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12 beading needle. I used Fireline 6lb. crystal. Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 12" tail and begin at step #1. |
1. Pick up 1B, 17A, go with thread forward through the 1 B bead and the 1st through 9th A beads just added. | |
2. Pick up 11A, go with thread up through the 9th A bead, step #1 (first time) or the 6th A bead, step #5 (every time after) and forward through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th A beads just added in this step. | |
3. Pick up 7A, go with thread forward through the 4th and 5th A beads, step #2. | |
