    Use your favorite beads to create this Modern Mayhem bracelet, consisting of right angle weave with some embellishment. Put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of size 8 Dragonthread. Pick up 8 seed beads and sew back through the first 6 beads. Create another box by adding 6 more seed beads and sew into the top of the two beads the thread is coming out of. Go back through the bottom 2 beads, add 6 more beads to create another box. Watch the Modern Mayhem bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s step-by-step directions to create a band about 7 inches long. Attach a Potomax infinite oval clasp, being careful to make sure the two sides of the clasp are facing in the right direction. Glue a long oval crystal into the clasp. This fun patchwork looking Modern Mayhem bracelet is a great way to get your creative juices flowing. Have fun making up patterns or adding beads at random. The finished product will be a beautiful bracelet that you’ll enjoy showing off. Technique learned: Right Angle Weave

    Well have to say that I have been looking for the color of these beads everywhere but here. I did not think that you would have them. I searched high and low for them and then finally I came here. OMG!!!! You were the ones that had them and the colors and sizes that I was looking for were sold out. I wasn't able to complete the color choices. But I came back and I found most of them so I put in an order. I learned a lesson from all of my blood sweat and tears...come to Potomac 1st! I now can make my project! Thank you!!!!!
