This impressive and lightweight cuff bracelet combines both beadweaving and bead embroidery. The unique construction means that the center motif is first beadwoven, then attached to the beading foundation. It is then surrounded with rows of order bead embroidery, using the ridges on the grosgrain ribbon as a guide. So it is really 2 projects in one!
This listing is for a kit to make the pictured cuff bracelet- not the bracelet itself.
The full kit includes clear illustrated instructions on CD (you can print these out from your computer) or printed. If you don't have access to a CD player on your computer- not to worry- just convo me and I will forward a PDF to you. Refill kit is all the supplies minus the instructions- in case you want to make another one in a different color! or two. or three...
This is suitable for all levels of beaders- although some experience with bead embroidery and beadweaving would be helpful. The finished cuff is about 1 3/4" wide. PLEASE SEND ME A CONVO IF YOU NEED A BRACELET LONGER THAN 9" and I will send a longer ribbon piece.
Included in the kit: instructions, half tila beads, 4mm bicone crystals, grosgrain already attached to beading foundation, various size seed beads, Ultrasuede backing, and a bar clasp.
NOTE: the clasp may vary from the one pictured. It is a five loop slide bar clasp.
You will need to provide a needle, scissors, glue, and thread. Recommendations for these are in the instructions. It is written in English.
