BAROQUE BRACELETS

These two bracelets are made by combining pentagonal (five "petal") hana-ami motifs. Fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions, ideal for beading beginners. I use 4mm Swarovski burgundy round beads for the center but if you use 4mm red bicone crystals instead, you can make some nice Poinsettia bracelets for Christmas.

Stitch: Triangle weave

Beads Used: Size 11 seed beads or Delicas, 4mm round beads and 4mm bicone crystals

Approx Finished Size: 5/8 inches wide to desired length
