Nepal Chain Bracelet - Jewellery Making Tutorial

Nepal Chain Stitch - A simple flower-patterned chain that can be as complicated as you want to make it. The basic stitch has stems and flowers (2 diff parts). You can add a third colour to incorporate leaves or use many colours to add multi coloured flowers.
It's a very versatile stitch and a full chain stitched into a necklace or bracelet looks very pretty. You can make short sections, embellish them and turn them into matching earrings too. Try replacing some of the F beads in the pattern with bicones, drops or firepolish and see what your imagination can come up with. Ready to have a go? Let's stitch!

You can add all the items you need to your basket by clicking the box in the 'Products used' section above, or you can let your imagination run wild and choose your own materials from the links below. Please note that the colours for the products illustrated in the image above may not match the 'Products List'. 

• Toho Round 11/0 beads - 2 colours - I used Opaque Cornflower for the flowers (F bead) and Frosted Peridot for the stems (S bead).

• Jump Ring
• Beading Thread -  Your favourite is fine, though monofilament (or fishing wire)  is a good choice if making earrings.
• Needle 
• Bead Tray
