The midnight black color of the Matubo GemDuo beads make the splashes of blue in the Artbeads Designer Seed Bead Blend really stand out. The small seed beads make wonderful pops of color between the GemDuos. You'll love how simple this bracelet really is.

Add a stopper bead to a comfortable length of working thread. Then, add a Matubo GemDuo 8x5mm matte jet Czech glass 2-hole bead to your thread, followed by four beads from the Artbeads Mermaid Blue Designer Blend. Repeat 16 to 17 more times or until your bracelet is the desired length, keeping in mind the clasp will add about a half an inch of length. Make sure your GemDuo beads are all facing the same way, with the faceted side up. After adding your final GemDuo bead and four seed beads, bring your thread through the second stringing hole of the last GemDuo. Make sure to keep your tension even on the bracelet for a tighter weave.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
