Beaded mesh bicone bracelet

Instructions

I don't have the pattern, as it was done a while back. I got it from a friend online. It was hard to get started on this project, but once you get the "hang" of it, goes pretty fast.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Casual


Materials

Swarovski crystal bicones in size 4mm, seed beads, size 15, fireline, antique brass magnetic clasp

What was your inspiration?

I found the piece to be very beautiful. I had only been beading 2 years and thought it would be a challenging. I get inspiration when I complete a piece and it turns out to look like it is supposed to look.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I tackled it and completed it. The pattern was hard to understand and I did a lot of "ripping out". But once I got the rhythm, it was OK and kind of fun.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be PATIENT, don't give up. It may take an hour to get the hang of it,( it did me anyway) unless you are proficient in bead instructions. The results will be amazing and rewarding. You may have to search the web for instructions, and I am sorry I don't have this information.

Wow, this is beautiful. I do beading, but have never tackled anything this challenging. You have inspired me to try!

Google beaded jewelry patterns. I have heard this called "stained glass " pattern. Hope you understand jewelry pattern lingo! It might be in an old issue of a beading mag.
