Beautiful shades of deep blue come together in this bracelet to create a look that speaks of the night sky gleaming with stars. Cheri used an Artbeads Designer Seed Bead Blend for an easy color palette for this loomed piece. With slightly larger fire-polished beads thrown into the mix, this bracelet has a subtle wavy texture to the edges. Discover more inspiration for using Artbeads Designer Blends in your jewelry designs in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to warp the Ricks Beading Loom using this guideline: for a bracelet with a 7 to 7 1/2-inch wrist size, set the loom to approximately 163mm for 75 rows of seed beads. You may want to increase this size slightly to account for the fold over length when attaching the clasp. You can watch our tutorial on setting up warp threads for more help with setting up your loom.
