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".
