Farfalle and bead bracelets

To make a bracelet like this you will need
Size 8 seed beads.
Farfalle beads.
Larger bead, I have used glass pearls.
Clasp of your choice.
0.3mm tigertail beading wire.

1. Cut a piece of wire around 30" (about 70cm) put the wire through one end of the clasp and fold in half.
Add 3 seed beads over both wires.

2. Separate the wires and add 1 seed bead, 3 farfalle beads and two more seed beads to each wire.

3. Place your larger bead over both wires.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have the length you require.

5. Over both wires add 3 seed beads and a 2mm crimp bead.

6. Put both wires back through the crimp bead and through the 3 seed beads.

7. Hold the clasp and pull the wire firmly, if it gets stuck push the seed beads and the little crimp away from the clasp and pull again. Once the wires are pulled firmly and evenly squash the crimp flat with the tip of your flat nosed pliers pliers. be careful not to catch the end seed bead in the pliers.
Trim of the excess wire.

Now you know how you can experiment with different sizes and combinations of beads to create your own designs.
This one is made size 8 seed beads, inside lined farfalle beads and fire polished crystals.

Thanks for looking!
