BUBBLE BANDS

Bubble Bands

I think this may be my most versatile pattern yet. Use size 11/0 seed beads, any 3mm bead type, any 4mm bead type and either size 6mm Czech 2-hole Cabochons, Honeycomb beads, DiscDuo beads or Silky beads to create a single, double or triple column band. It matches the Bubble Necklace and Earrings pattern.

Stitch: Right-angle weave

Beads Used: Size 11 seed beads, 3mm beads, 4mm beads and size 6mm two-hole beads (size 6mm Czech 2-hole Cabochons, Honeycomb beads, DiscDuo beads or Silky beads)

Approx Finished Size: About .375 to 1.25 inches wide to desired length

Pattern Price (Downloadable PDF only): $4.75

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
