Oh Royal Bracelet Tutorial

Prepare Materials: Gather 4 mm royal flower bicone beads, O-beads, 11/0 seed beads, size 8 thread, wire guards, jump rings, and a clasp. Start the Bracelet: Cut approximately 4 feet of thread. String two 11/0 seed beads, a wire guard, two more seed beads, and your first bicone. Secure the Beginning: Pass the thread back through the beads and wire guard, then pass through the initial bicone to secure the starting section. Create the First Segment: Alternate O-beads and bicones until you have six of each, including the initial bicone. Reinforce the Segment: Pass through the beadwork again, if desired, to make the section more secure. Add the Next Color: Choose another bicone color and add five new bicones with six O-beads, sharing the previous segment’s final bicone. Connect the Sections: Follow the thread path through the shared bicone and the newly added beads to secure the next segment. Repeat the Pattern: Continue adding segments in your preferred colors, carefully passing through the fragile glass O-beads without forcing the needle. Adjust the Length: Keep adding sections until the bracelet fits your wrist. The demonstrated sample measures approximately 6¾ inches between wire guards. Finish the Ends: Add two 11/0 seed beads, a wire guard, and two more seed beads at the final end. Pass through the beads again to reinforce the connection. Attach the Clasp: Weave the thread tail through the beadwork, tie it off securely, and add jump rings and your chosen clasp to complete the bracelet.
