| This pattern was originally called "Dime Store Bracelet" because all the beads were purchased at my local WalMart. I wanted to show that you didn't have to spend a lot if you wanted to try some basic bead weaving. |
A = blue, 11 Czech seed beads
B = purple, 11 Czech seed beads
C = crystal AB, 4mm crystals
Start by
waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12
beading needle. Tie in a “stopper” bead, leaving about an 8” tail and begin at
step #1. *Fireline 6lb. crystal fishing line also works great for bead
weaving.
