Now FREE: Crystal Luster Flower Bracelet

An oldie-but-goodie, the Crystal Luster Flower Bracelet pattern, is now FREE!

Use triangle weave, a variation of right-angle weave, to create and combine Japanese Hana-Ami motifs (Hana means “flower” and Ami means “stitch” or “net”) into a simple crystal flower bracelet. Although I use green, amethyst and blue fire-polished beads, any type of size 4mm beads of any color will also work beautifully.
