    Quick Project Steps

    This adorable vintage looking pearl bracelet is a cheerful addition to any outfit. This PotomacBeads tutorial teaches you how to use two needles to create the Laura Bracelet.
    1.Put 2 size 12 needles on about 5 feet of .006 Dragonthread. Pick up one 15/0, a bicone and another seed bead, let them drop to the center. Bring both needles through the cup button with the bowl side out. Add another 15/0 and two 8/0s onto each needle. Criss-cross through a 2mm bicone with the needles. Make sure both sides of the thread are of equal length.
    2.Watch the Laura Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s directions to create the bracelet design.
    3.Make a loop out seed beads. Use about 28 to fit the button. Once you have the loop formed, thread through the loop again with the second needle. Tie the threads together into a few knots. Pull the thread to opposite sides of the project and burn down the edges.
    The Laura Bracelet is a pretty bracelet that has a floral look. Try out both the suggested colorways or choose your own favorite colors to make this a one of a kind piece of jewelry.

    I watched several "how to" videos, which answered questions I had and decided to shop.  I purchased items from the videos and look forward to using them.

    The pull-down menu under the "learn about" tab for "bead patterns" did not work, so I could not shop for patterns this time.
