Use size 11 seed beads, SuperDuo beads, any size 3mm beads (round beads, glass pearls, fire-polished beads or size 8 seed beads) and any two-hole beads (Czechmates tile or brick beads, Tila or half Tila beads, Rulla beads or more SuperDuo beads) to create many different bracelets. The pattern includes step-by-step instructions for a single column band that you can use to make stacking bracelets (bottom bands in photo) or bead it at triple length to wrap round your wrist several times (left), as well as detailed instructions for beading a triple column width band (top two bands on right).

SuperUno pattern: the Ruffle Bracelet

New pattern for sale: the Ruffle Bracelet, $4.00 at AroundTheBeadingTable.com and Bead-Patterns.com:

http://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Patterns/Ruffle.html

This pattern uses the new SuperUno beads to create a pretty ruffled edge. SuperUno beads are SuperDuo beads with only one hole (the first two bracelets from the left in the photo use SuperUno beads along the outer edge). You can also use Rizo beads (third bracelet from left), although they tend to be more floppy, or use all two-hole SuperDuo beads (fourth bracelet from left) if you don’t mind empty holes showing along the outer ruffled edge.

SuperUno beads are available for sale at RedPandaBeads.com!

Free crystal bracelet pattern: the Guinevere Bracelet

The Guinevere Bracelet pattern is now free! This would be a great tutorial for those looking to learn right-angle weave. Although I use bicone crystals and glass pearls, any 4mm beads and size 11 seed beads will work. Enjoy!
