Wimbledon Bracelet Tutorial - DIY Project
Create a fine piece of jewelry with Allie as she shows you the techniques used to make the Wimbledon Bracelet, a more complicated right angle weave design that involves a multi-row stitch. Quite simply, the only necessary materials are Potomac Crystal Bicones along with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Although few materials are required, the finished piece will look like you paid a fortune for it!

I'm in love with the Wimbledon bracelet design by Allie! I just keep holding it in my hands because it feels so substantial and dainty at the same time. Others have already said it I think, but the extra RAW on the back feels so smooth when it's on. It was also very relaxing to stitch because of the repetitive pattern.

Well I made this Wimbledon bracelet. My granddaughter helped me take pics today. I just love blue. Not perfect but love it!

Last night when I couldn't sleep I finally mastered RAW with Allie's Wimbledon bracelet. Thanks for the inspiration!

Two of the Wimbledon bracelets done in gold and rose-gold tones. This bracelet is very sparkly and works up rather quickly. My daughter just left my room with the rose-gold tone one after claiming it. Thanks Allie for another great video!

I had so many nice compliments on my silver Wimbledone bracelet with the vintage clasp! Thank you all so much. I just made a gold one with champagne colored Swrarovski bicones. Found this clasp to match yesterday. I really like it!

"I used to think the Ocean Sunrise bracelet was my favorite. But the Wimbledon bracelet has now moved to the #1 spot n my list!! If you haven't made one of these stunning bracelets yet, you don't know what you're missing!! Thank you Allie & Nathan for sharing such a stunner with us!"

Picture doesn’t do it justice. Thanks Allie for this beautiful pattern. So glad you did it with a nice clasp. It really adds to the great look!"
