Cobalt and Silver Bracelet

Cobalt/Crystal Bracelet

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bead & Tapestry Cuffs »

Instructions

This was my first project. I intended to use the DMC pearl for both warp and put rows of beads between woven threads following the instructions for the first affinity bracelet, but it was a bit too stiff to make nice selvedges. So I went all beads, alternating two rows of cobalt with one row of crystal color. The beaded part is 5 inches long and looks nice on an average size wrist.

What are you most proud of?

a) That I didn't give up and toss the warp when the original plan didn't work and
b) That I actually FINISHED something
