Infinitely Simple Seed Bead Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Veronica Greenwood
Designer Tips
- These bracelets follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions from Tiffany's 2015 Beaded Infinity Knot Bracelets project in Rings & Things' blog, but updated with new colors, and with tiny faceted gemstones mixed in with the seed beads. One other change, is that Veronica used 6mm gemstone beads at the end, instead of covering the crimp beads with a crimp cover.
- There's no right or wrong combination -- use 1 or 2 colors, or a whole ombre rainbow!

Optional Supplies:
