Nefertiti

Our bracelet is a size 7 to ½. We use the Ricks Beading Loom to create this bracelet. The loom comes with instructions, but we did not warp the threads per those instructions. Instead, we spread the bars out as far as possible and tied the warp threads to the bars with half knots. We used S-Lon bead cord for the warp threads and a double strand of KO nylon Japanese beading thread for the four weft threads. Please read the manufacturer's instructions to familiarize yourself with the process and then adjust according to our instructions.

Use the warp separator to separate the warp threads and slide it against the headstock warp rod. Follow this pattern when creating your bracelet:

• Two rows of nine TOHO 8/0 bead rounds in dichroic lined jonquil yellow rainbow
• One row of two Czech glass 3x5mm fuchsia with copper finish faceted roundel beads, two Czech glass 3x5mm turquoise with Picasso finish faceted roundel beads and two 3x5mm fuchsia beads

Create a mirror image of this pattern for the other side of the bracelet.

Tie off the weft threads by weaving and knotting them into the body of the bracelet. Take the ends of your warp threads and weave them through the last row using a big eye needle. You may need pliers to pull the needle all the way through. Tie the warp threads together, unless the bead holes are too tight. Instead, tie the weft thread tails to each other, but be careful not to create too much bulk, as your crimp end tubes won't slide over the last row of beads and knots. Use adhesive on the knots to secure them and allow to dry.

Slide the Alacarte 24mm antique brass crimp end tube onto the end of the bracelet. You may need to push this tube on with pliers, but do not squeeze the beads with the pliers, as they could break. Fold the ends of the clasp closed. Repeat on the other end of the bracelet.

Add the 15x8mm antique brass-plated trigger clasp to one end of the bracelet using a 6mm antique brass-plated open jump ring. Link six jump rings together and attach this chain to the other end of the bracelet.

Add a jonquil yellow rainbow TOHO to a TierraCast 2-inch 20 gauge brass oxide pewter head pin, followed by a matte blue, green and red with gold finish roundel and a 3x5mm fuchsia roundel. Attach this dangle to the end of the linked jump rings by creating a wrapped loop at the top of the head pin.
