We’ve been asked many times how these bracelets are made.

It is done using a simple freestyle technique. No pattern needed. Mix and match beads and colors to get a totally different look every time.

These bracelets are made of bead clusters. To make a cluster you need two strands.  Add 4 to 6 beads on each strand, then thread both strands through one bead (the spacer) to finish the cluster. Repeat this until your bead work is to the desired length.

Here is a simple diagram to show you how its done:

Suggestions:

– you can use daggers for an edgy look 

– flower petals or tear drops will give you a softer look

– use multiple sizes of the same shape of bead to add variation and interest

– combine czech glass and Swarovski crystals for a very elegant look
