Quick Project Steps

Make your own set of wings with this Aviator bracelet. In this PotomacBeads tutorial, Allie shows us a pretty use for the DiamonDuo and Tango beads.
1. Cut about 5 feet of beading thread and put a needle on each end, make sure the tails are the same length. Add three seed beads and sew through the bowl side of the cup button with both needles. Pick up three seed beads on each needle. Pick up one more seed bead and thread it through with both needles going the same direction to create a V behind the button clasp.
2. Watch the Aviator bracelet tutorial to build the center of the bracelet using the DiamonDuos and Tango beads.
3. Create the loop on the end with the seed beads. Reinforce it by going through it a second time with the other needle. Use seed beads along the sides to fill in the gaps in between the tangos.
This Aviator bracelet is fun and easy to make and doesn’t require too many materials either. The metallic seed beads gives it a nice shine to add some pop to your outfit. Use the designer’s suggested colors or pick your own for a more personalized look at PotomacBeads.
Enjoy using this jewelry-making bead tutorial video to help you become a more creative and happier beader!

Very hard to navigate the website! I am a long time costumer and not to be able to use a coupon code is really not right! If I didn’t need the item I purchased for a gift I would not of bought it at all!

I ordered on a Thursday and my package was at the post office by Friday. It took 10 days for the package to get to me - tracking was lost a couple of times and the post office took it off my delivery list at one point. Potomac Beads contacted me twice to check in on the progress of my search for my lost package. They went above and beyond. Very professional. Will definitely shop with them again.

always a breeze to glide thru the shop and easily to find what you need... only complaint, not really complaint would be items added to cart aren't saved , if u click out of site , or lose electricity then you have to go thru and add everything again, so if we could keep items in cart for atleast 24 hrs would be great !!
