La Fleur Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

This design uses 16 crystal bicones (2-3 of each color linked below).
Knotting can be done by hand or with a cord knotter. The key to good knotting is to make sure the knot is as close to the beads as possible, so the beads don't move.
Adjust the finished bracelet length by varying the pattern or using an adjustable length clasp. The finished length of this bracelet is 8.5".
