Version 1 is the easier of the two options but in my opinion a lot less attractive and less challenging and fun to make.
Materials and skills required:- No. 20 thread, small seed beads and a 3" diameter metal ring (bracelet). Knowledge of split rings and using beads. |
|
Please note that when working version 2 of this pattern it is easier to add the beads before the very large picots are made. Before starting and using your chosen thread, tat a few ds, measure a picot of ½" and see how many of the beads you intend to use will fit (leaving a small space at the end for joining). Make another picot of ¼” and again add the beads in the same way. Note how many beads are required for each measured picot before starting. See this page for help in adding beads. |
