Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram download for this design! I love this cuff bracelet design, that can have different looks based on color choice. Use red, white, and blue to get a “Stars and Stripes” look; use floral colors to look like spring flowers. The center components look more like stars if you use the same (white) color (at steps 1, 2, and 8 in the diagram), and more like flowers if you use different colors. I loved both color schemes. The bracelet is made in 5 rows (though the 5th row is optional). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), superduos (2 colors), 4mm round beads (2 colors), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end to connect the clasp with jump rings. For a 7-inch bracelet (including clasp), you will need to make 8 flower/star components in the first row, requiring eight 4mm beads for the component center, and 62 4mm beads surrounding the components. I used a size 10 beading needle with about 4 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline. I’m only comfortable working with a maximum of 2 meters/yards of thread at a time, so I used that amount, then connected another segment of Fireline halfway through using a lighter (shown in the video).
