Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF instructions for this design! The original inspiration for this design was some large 1-inch to 1.25-inch flat beads I had on hand (having same front and back), which I thought would make a great center piece for a bracelet. Color combinations are fun to experiment with in this design — you can use all the same color 11/0 seed beads, or pick 3 (one color same as the 15/0, one color matching the superduos, and one accent color), like the pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern and tutorial!
Materials
This pattern requires a large center bead (about 1-inch long and flat), superduos, 15/0 seed beads, 11/0 seed beads (3 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end for jump rings to go through to attach the clasp. (Materials are also listed in the pattern PDF/image itself).

Thank you for providing the videos for the projects
I just this week bought the tree beads! they’re so pretty but I didn’t have a plan how to use them.
thank you!
Thank you for the videos. I do better in my projects if I can see and hear someone explain how to do the beading. The Oliva bracelet is beautiful and I have the beads to make it.
