The Pantone Color of the Year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid, a charming hue that works with a variety of tones. In honor of this captivating color, we have created a beaded bracelet filled with orchid color and accented with dark purple and silver. You'll love the fresh style it brings to your looks.
Cut five feet of thread and add a stopper bead. We used a small, white seed bead. Bring the thread around half of the bead and back through the stringing hole to hold the bead in place, leaving a tail. String on two TOHO 8/0 bead rounds in silver-lined lavender opal, followed by a CzechMates glass 6mm silver two-hole lentil bead. Repeat this pattern until all 28 lentil beads are strung.

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!
