I've always loved summer Renaissance faires, minstrels, ladies and lords wandering around in thier wonderful garb. I've also always loved the grace of handflower bracelets. 6 seed beads silamide thread size 12 needle clasp or button Start by stringing 78 size 11 beads to make a slightly loose ring around the cab, tie a knot to close the ring leaving a tail to weave in later. Continue that way all the way around, when you get to the first loop you added, string through until you come out the accent color bead at the top of the loop, repeat this 2 more times, for a total of 4 rows.
Weave ends in.
Put aside for now. Make a ring of 8 beads and tie a knot, leaving enough of a tail to add a clasp and weave in later. Work in right angle weave of squares with 2 beads per side. Using 32 squares makes a bracelet about 7 inches long including clasp, but check, your clasps or buttons could be a different size, or your wrist could be. Add 2 more rows.
