    Quick Project Steps

    Get back to the basics with this PotomacBeads tutorial. You will learn how to create a right angle weave stitch to design this dainty Layered Pearl Bracelet.
    1. With a big eye needle, put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of .006 Dragonthread. Pick up 4 pearls with 8/0s in between. Sew back through the first 3 pearls and 2 seed beads. Add an 8/0 and 3 more pearls with a seed bead after each one. This is the second RAW unit.
    2. Watch the Layered Pearl Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s easy directions to design the rest of the pattern.
    3. Once you’ve reached your desired length, it’s time to add the clasp. Add the tongue of the clasp with a few seed beads. Reinforce by threading through again. Tie a few knots into the thread ends. Bring the thread and needle back into the design a little bit. Burn off the ends.
