If you love Czech glass beads, you'll love weaving this autumn-colored bracelet! Indeed, this bracelet is made with Arcos© and Minos© beads from Puca, bicones and rivolis from PureCrystal, 2-hole beads from the Czechmates Crescent range and Miyuki beads.
Many thanks to Olga for making this bracelet especially for Perles &Co.
Place two Arcos face-to-face on a wire, followed by a bicone. Repeat this step 4 times. Tie a knot to form a circle and thread through all the beads again.
Feed the wire through the second hole in the Arcos bead.
Place a Minos bead between two Arcos, then string a Miyuki 15/0 Seed bead, a Czechmates Crescent bead, a Miyuki 11/0 hexcut, another Czechmates Crescent, and finally a Miyuki 15/0 Seed bead. Repeat this step 3 times.
Feed the wire through the second hole in the Czechmates Crescent bead.
Turn your creation upside down and work on the reverse side.
Thread a Miyuki 11/0 seed bead between the Czechmates Crescent beads, then two Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts, a 4 mm spinning top and two Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts. Thread through the next Czechmates Crescent bead. Repeat three times.
Place the 18mm rivoli cabochon in the center, then pass your thread through this circle once more, then pass the thread through the bicone.
Thread two Miyuki 15/0 seed beads, one bicone, two 15/0 seed beads, then move on to the next bicone. Repeat three times. Then thread through the bicone.
Thread a Miyuki 11/0 hexcut and pass the thread through the bicone. Repeat three times, passing the thread through all the beads to secure the rivoli cabochon.
Pass through the beads to emerge in the third hole of the Arcos bead.
Thread a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead, two Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts, a 6mm spinning top, two Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts and a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead. Repeat three times. Pass through all the beads once more and pull out your thread from a 6 mm bicone.
Take your thread out of the 6mm spinner, thread a hexcut Miyuki 11/0 part, an Arcos© bead, a Seed bead Miyuki 15/0, a spinner, a Seed bead Miyuki 15/0, a spinner, a Seed bead Miyuki 15/0 and pass the thread through the third hole of the Arcos© bead.
Next, thread a Miyuki 11/0 hexcut through the 6mm bicone. Pass through the beads to bring out the thread of the second Miyuki 15/0 seed bead you've added.
Thread a spinning top, a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead and an Arcos© bead.
Thread a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead, a spinning top, a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead, a spinning top, a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead and pass the thread through two Arcos© beads.
Thread a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead, a spinning top and a Miyuki 15/0 bead between three spinning tops. Then thread through the beads to the second Miyuki 15/0 seed bead added in step 10.
Repeat steps 9 and 11 until you reach the desired length, then finish your creation as seen in step 9.
Thread 4 hexcut Miyuki 11/0 and pass the wire through the opposite hole of the Arcos© bead.
Next, pass the thread through a Miyuki 11/0 bead, a spinning top, a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead and back into the Arcos© bead, then through 4 Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts, adding a Miyuki 15/0 seed bead between the Miyuki 11/0 hexcuts.
Pass the thread through the beads so that it emerges in the side hole of the Arcos© bead. String 3 Miyuki seed beads, pass through the center hole of the Arcos© bead, string a Minos© bead, and pass through the center hole of the Arcos© bead.
String 3 Miyuki seed beads 15/0 and thread through the side hole of the Arcos© bead.
String 3 Seed beads Miyuki 15/0, pass your thread through the center hole of the Arcos© bead, pass the thread through the Minos© bead and into the center hole of the Arcos© bead, string 3 Seed beads Miyuki 15/0 and pass your thread through the opposite side hole of the Arcos© bead.
Repeat this step with the other pair of Arcos© beads.
Thread the wire through the 6mm spinners and exit through the side hole of the nearest Arcos© bead.
Thread 6 Miyuki 15/0 beads and pass the wire through the opposite side of the Arcos© bead.
Attach your creation securely and knot the wire properly.
Add a new thread and do the same for the other side of your work. Finally, attach the clasps you want to the ends and enjoy your beautiful creation!
