I had a lot of fun coming up with a fun bead weave incorporating Cali beads. This technique is easy and looks stunning.
The unique Czech glass Cali beads in this bracelet feature three stringing holes, giving you fun possibilities for your beaded creations. Cheri paired the Cali beads with Czech glass round beads and seed beads for a look that gleams with fiery rose gold and bold black. It's sure to put you in mind of the glowing coals of a Smoldering Fire.
String the center hole of a Czech glass 3x8mm black/Capri rose 3-hole Cali bead onto the thread, followed by a Czech glass 3mm round bead in luster opaque rose and gold topaz, as shown in the first image of the diagram. Repeat 23 times or until your bracelet is the desired length. Keep in mind the clasp will add about 1 1/2 inches of length. Add the center hole of a Cali bead to the end of your pattern, followed by two TOHO 15/0 bead rounds in copper lined crystal.
Go back through the bottom stringing hole of the last Cali bead on your thread. Add three seed beads and then go through the bottom hole of the next Cali bead, as shown in the second image of the diagram. Repeat until you reach the end of your pattern. Add two seed beads, then go through the center hole of the last Cali bead. Go back around through the bottom hole of the Cali bead and then up through the top hole of the Cali bead.
