Materials You'll Need

1️⃣ BEADING THREAD

I recommend 6lb thermally bonded thread like FireLine or WildFire.

NOTE! In the tutorial, I mention that you need 2 arm spans of thread. When I say this, I technically mean 2 wing spans. Sorry for any confusion!

2️⃣ BEADS

I used my 8/0 Czech Pop Art Bead Mix and 11/0 Miyuki Duracoat Galvanized Yellow Gold beads. But you can use any combination of size 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads.

This technique also works great with size 6/0 seed beads and a center strip of size 8/0.

For a dainty bracelet, you could also try 11/0 with a center strip of size 15/0.

3️⃣ SCISSORS

To cut your thread.

4️⃣ BEADING NEEDLE

I used a size 10 beading needle.

5️⃣ CLASP

I use a magnetic clasp in the tutorial. But you can use other clasps. However, I recommend that you use a clasp with closed loops/rings.

6️⃣ RULER

To measure the length of your bracelet.
