The double flat spiral stitch creates a breathtaking display in Cynthia's bracelet. This stitch is simple to accomplish and the results are simply stunning Switch up the colors and sizes of the beads used for a whole new look. We like to use beads from the Artbeads Designer Series to create a perfectly-coordinated color palette.
You will be making a double flat spiral stitch to create this bracelet. Please watch our Flat Spiral Rope Video Tutorial for help with this stitch. To start, string on two pearls from the 6mm Crystal Pearl Wedding Bells Designer Blend for the beads in the center of the stitch. Then, add four seed beads in any colors from the Ring Around the Rosy 11/0 Designer Seed Bead Blend, one bicone from the 3mm Bicone Sand Dune Designer Blend (Note: this blend is no longer available. We have provided similar colors of 3mm bicones in the Perfect Product Pairings below. You will need 60 bicones for this project.) and four more Ring Around the Rosy seed beads (these beads will frame the center beads on either side within the stitch). Watch our video tutorial to continue the stitch.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
