Quick Project Steps

With just a few supplies, you can create the EVA Ladder Bracelet. Learn how to make the pattern with 2 needles in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
1. Put a clasp onto the thread. Add three 11/0s to one needle, bring the other needle through them in the same direction. Using the right hand needle pick up EVA beads separated by seed beads. Alternate the direction of the EVA beads so they are pointing up and down. Continue the pattern for the length of the bracelet.
2. Watch the EVA Ladder Tutorial to follow along with Allie as she shows you step-by-step how to create the pattern used in the beaded bracelet.
3. Reinforce the clasp when you get back to the end of the project. Glue the Resin Mood Cabochon into the push clasp. Knot the threads off in the sides of the project. Burn the loose edges flush.
The EVA Ladder Bracelet is an easy pattern suitable for all beaders. You can tie it off to make a stretchy bangle instead of using a clasp. Have fun choosing your colors to make a piece of DIY jewelry that suits your style.
