Our Autumn Golds Bracelet Tutorial shows how you can combine seed beads and cord for a gorgeous bracelet style. Try 6/0 seed beads and then add beautiful jewelry elements to enhance your beaded cord. 

We used yarn in a variegated color scheme to make an i-cord knitted coaster. We simply knitted a long i-cord with the tool and then coild the rope around used a big eye needle to weave the tail yarn thread into the spiral, which created the wavy edges. You could also glue or stitch the rope in a spiral pattern onto a felt backing. This project would make an excellent handmade gift for birthdays or Christmas. You could make a coaster set for your loved ones! 

We also made a simple i-cord bracelet with yarn and a beautiful Raven's Journey Czech glass button. The button is easily attached to the end of the i-cord by knotting it onto the tail yarn thread and weaving that tail around the button shank and back into the cord.
