CONTINATION: flat spiral bracelet
- keep in mind to check the thread tension repeatedly
- create the other mirroring wing : pick up four seed beads, one 4 mm outer edge bead and four seed beads
- go back through the last two center beads and push it to the opposite side**
- you have created your second set of wings
to resume:
- each wing is made of four seed beads, an outer edge bead and four seed beads
- to grow the middle section, add one bead for the center at the beginning of the first wing of each set
- to circle back, you always go back through the last two center beads of your work
repeat * to ** till you reached the desired length
- as each set of wings holds down the other set, you will need to attach the ultimate pair to the penultimate pair by yourself
- attach a clasp … while using French wire or creating a little loop in seed beads
- add a little loop in seed beads to attach your toggle bar: pick up 7 seed beads, the toggle bar and 7 seed beads
- reinforce your loop by making several passes
- go back through the beads of the center to add the second part of the toggle on the other side
The dainty version:
For a more elegant bracelet or for a pair of earrings use :
- 4x4 mm, round beads for the center,
- 3x3 mm round beads for the outer edge
- and 15/0 seed beads to connect
and do not hesitate … to be creative with the color scheme of the outer edge.
