This bracelet was a first attempt at creating the flat spiral stitch. The beads used are: 6mm round beads for the base, size 6 brown seed beads and opaque size 11 TOHO seed beads to bring it all together. The final bracelet is very sturdy but flexible and is finished off with a metal toggle clasp.

This bracelet was originally a Mother's Day gift for my wonderful Mom. The stitch used is the square stitch and the beads are size 11 seed beads. The hearts alternate from being right-side up to being upside-down. The clasp is a pearl bead and may vary.

This holiday-themed peppermint bracelet was made with the circular peyote stitch. I made one bracelet and it was so easy and beautiful that I couldn't stop making these! The original pattern was of a peppermint necklace but I modified it to make it into a bracelet. The bracelet is made with size 11 seed beads and a metal lobster clasp to close it off on the ends. Each peppermint is 2 cm wide and the lobster clasp takes up 2 cm of the bracelet as well. A 14-cm bracelet has 6 peppermints: a 16-cm bracelet has 7 peppermints, and so on. They are on sale on Etsy!
