Pattern Description:

In this tutorial you'll learn how to make a fresh-looking, 'yummy' candy pretzel bracelet with pearls, crystal bicones and seed beads. Beading is made easy with these step-by-step instructions and full color illustrations.

I named this design 'pretzel' for its lines of beads remind me of knots made by my favorite childhood biscuit - pretzels. Then the pearls are the sweet candy icing sprinkled on those always-so-perfectly-tasting snacks. Now I devour it in another form.
