Learn how to make this delicate bracelet with Swarovski Iridescent pearls and sparkling spike beads.
Step 1

b) Drag the left thread through the free hole in the first SD, thread 1x 11TR and drag the thread through the free hole in the next SD. Repeat 8 times.
c) To complete this step, pass both threads through 1x SD.
Step 4
4. Using the right needle, thread 1x 3mm AC, 1x Spike AC and repeat this step twice.
Step 5

Step 6

Step 8

Step 11

Step 12
12. Pass the left thread through all the beads on the right thread, starting from 11TR and ending with 3mm AC.
Step 13

Step 14
14. Thread 3 x 11TR, 1x AC177, 3 x 11TR. Pass the thread through Faceted AC. Repeat twice.
Step 15
15. Pass the left thread through Faceted AC (your thread is on the right side of the beadwork). Repeat step 15.
Step 16
16. Use the rest of the threads to secure your work. Simply weave through the other beads in your bracelet, then make a knot and cut the rest of the threads off.
If your bracelet is too small, simply add a few split rings to extend the chain. You can also use ready-made extenders.

"Just used my new kumihimo handle and weighted bobbins and they are great. My kumihimo has never been so neat and the thread/ weave so tight. It's great."
