What you’ll need:
- ½ tube of magatama seed beads
- 1 nest bead
- 1 bird bead
- 1 ceramic geode
- 5’ 1.5mm leather cord
- 24’ of thread
- 9 czech glass beads
- 29 6mm rounds
- 13 8mm rounds
- 6 8-12mm nuggets
- 1 button or toggle bar
- 1 beading needle
- chain nose pliers
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: I recommend wrapping a string around your wrist and then marking on that string where you want your focals to be places. Layout your beads along the string placing your focals at the markings. |
Step 2: Once you have the beads laid out from light to dark, you can begin your ladder stitch.

Step 3: I used seed beads at the beginning and end of the bracelet to give a gradual transition up the larger sized beads I stitched in. |
Step 4: The bracelet does flow nicely when you jump drastically in size, like a 6mm to a 12mm. I recommend briefly building up in size or down in size if you are dealing with the reverse situation. |
Step 5: I tied knots at my leather tail ends for a decorative touch and to keep the knots from slipping. |
