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".
- For other pearl color options, see our full selection of Swarovski Pearls to pick your personal favorites.
