This beaded bracelet will be perfect for your festive outfits. The burgundy red and gold beads are very trendy. This Seed beads bracelet is both original and easy to match. Worn with a chunky winter sweater or a dressy dress, this handmade Miyuki bracelet is immediately chic and warm. With every movement of the wrist, the little bangs move and give a lovely effect.

The base of the bracelet is a line of golden beads woven in ladderstitch. Beaded bangs are attached to this line to create the distinctive volume. It's a simple bead-weaving technique. This is the technique that creates a bead base/support for brick stitch. Take a look at our brick stitch weaving tutorials if you'd like to learn more.
