D&I Beads
Supplies You will need…
• size B or D Nymo thread, or Supplemax
• One strand of 6 mm beads ( approx. 50 beads )
• One strand of approx. 6mm tear drops or accent beads
• Two hard beading needles – size 10 or smaller
• A clasp (can be one or two strands)
• Size 11/0 seed beads
Getting started:
1. Cut two strands of 2-3yards.
2. Tie each strand to one side of your clasp.
3. Add three seed beads to each strand.
4. Add 1 6mm seed bead to one strand. Then, with your other strand, go the opposite way through your 6mm bead. (should form a circle, not a tear drop shape)
5. Add 1 seed bead, 1 6mm bead, and 1 seed bead to each thread.
6. Add 1 6mm bead to one thread, and take your other thread through the bead the opposite way. (as in step 4)
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the length of your bracelet. Tie off to other side of clasp.
8. Pull thread back through 3 seed beads working down the length of your bracelet, and add 1 seed bead.
9. Go straight through the next seed bead and the 6mm bead.
10. From this point on, add 3 seed beads, and only go through the next 6mm bead. Do the same on each side. Tie off only one strand at the clasp.
To add the top…
11. With the other thread, weave back down through 3 seed beads and pull through the middle 6mm bead.
12. Add 2 seed beads, a teardrop (or bicone), and 2 seed beads.
13. Take through the next middle 6mm bead. The top row should lay diagonally on top of your base.
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 till the end. Tie off at clasp.
