This is an easy beginner friendly bead weaving project. I made a double wrap bracelet but the pattern's very versatile so you could really make anything. I'm using 6lb FireLine in smoke, MiniDuo glass 2-hole seed beads and size 15 seed beads. I highly recommend going with an 'aura' coat. You can really mix finishes and colors to make something special and personal. I'm using a magnetic clasp - gold plate. I'm using John James size 012 beading needles. Definitely going to need some scissors and some readers because these beads are tiny. I'm also using a size 8 single seed bead for my stop bead. You're also going to want a generous amount of thread like 6, 7 foot. Also be aware that the black FireLine will get all over your hands. I like to wipe mine down with a tissue and alcohol. So picking up our stop bead, I'm gonna get this all the way at the end of my thread. I do want like a 3 or 4 inch tail on that. To start, we're picking up two duos and then a single and then another duo. Pass our needle through that second hole of that bottom bead. And then we're going to pick up a 15 and a duo. Pass our needle through that second hole of that bottom bead. And then we're going to continue to do that until you have double the amount of the size of your wrist. If you're making a double wrap. In the next video I'll show you how to add the clasp and the nice little fringe.
