Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Make sure to start with a 12-inch tail, as we will be adding 11/0 seed beads to the tail later. Weave a rope of the CRAW stitch that is approximately 6 1/4 inches long using the Patagonia 8/0 Designer Seed Bead Blend. We added our seed beads in a random fashion.

At the end of your bracelet, add a row of CRAW using the TOHO 11/0 bead rounds in transparent medium amethyst. Insert the eye of a TierraCast copper 2-inch 21 gauge eye pin into the center of this row, then weave another row of 11/0 seed beads around it. Weave the tail of the thread through the eye of the eye pin, followed by a bead, then back through eye pin and then back through a bead until the eye pin is secure. Tie off the tail.

Slide a 6mm antique copper-plated pewter filigree end cap onto the eye pin, followed by a Patagonia bead. Make a wrapped loop at the bead.

Repeat steps two and three on the other end of the bracelet. Attach part of the TierraCast antique copper leaf clasp set to each end of the bracelet using a 4.5mm antique copper-plated 21 gauge open jump ring.
