Czech glass silky beads offer unique stringing holes for fun bead weaving possibilities. Artbeads designer Cheri showcased these beads in her bracelet design, along with Matubo MiniDuo beads and some colorful 11/0 seed beads. Learn how to make the bracelet and see where silky beads take your style
Add a comfortable working length of thread to a beading needle and then add a stopper bead to the thread. Bring your thread through one hole of a Czech glass 6mm turquoise blue dark travertine 2-hole silky diamond bead. Then, add two Matubo MiniDuo 2x4mm opaque yellow with bronze Picasso 2-hole seed beads to the thread, stringing through only one hole on each bead. Add another silky bead and make sure that it is facing the same way (with the grooved side up or down) as the other silky bead. Add two more MiniDuo beads to the thread. Repeat this pattern for the length desired. We used 19 silky beads in our bracelet.
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!
