Our “Safari Bangle” beading pattern will teach you how to make a bangle bracelet using the tubular netting bead stitch and your favorite earthy beads and seed beads.

This project is perfect for beaders who love to work with natural beads, such as wood, bone, or gemstone. As you may know, these natural beads are often irregular in shape and size, so they can sometimes be difficult to work with in stitched designs. Wanting to utilize our stash of lovely natural beads, we specifically designed this earthy and beautiful Safari Bangle bracelet to seamlessly incorporate slightly irregular-sized round wooden beads (or other natural beads) measuring between 4 – 6 mm (but note, consistently sized beads will work just as well).

While bangle bracelets are tremendously popular because they look so chic and are super fast and easy to slip on as you’re running out the door, they can be, in general, a slightly more challenging project to stitch up (primarily because it can be somewhat difficult to connect the ends). But our super detailed beading pattern will hold your hand every step of the way, so you’ll be successful.

This listing is for a PDF beading tutorial that you can instantly download and view on any computer or device (and/or print out). As a convenience, we can now also print your pattern for you in full color on 8.5" x 11" paper & mail it to you via USPS for an extra $10 (plus postage).

About our beading patterns

Great instructions that hold your hand each step of the way!

Each beading pattern features detailed, step-by-step instructions written in a clear, simple conversational style. A full-color close-up photo also accompanies each step, showing what is happening (annotated when applicable to illustrate stitching direction or highlight relevant details). All of our beading patterns also include a detailed materials page that specifies everything you need to make the project (including bead types, sizes, and quantities, as well as any required tools and findings). Most patterns also now include a special notes section, offering helpful tips specific to the design, as well as bead color information for each color scheme.

A detailed materials page

That tells you everything you’ll need to make the project, including bead types, sizes, and quantities of all required beading materials and tools. Check out our next section for helpful tips on how to successfully customize your jewelry.

A bead legend

That shows where each bead is used in the project – which is very helpful if you’re choosing your own color scheme.

Bead color information

All of our newer patterns include detailed bead color information that specifies the type, manufacturer, and color of all beads used in each color sample.

Please note, our earliest patterns did not include such detailed bead color information for each of the color samples we made. If you purchase an older pattern and want color information for a particular jewelry sample, just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.

Special notes section

That highlights important things for you to know, or keep in mind, to be successful with the project.

Step-by-step instructions

We write each beading pattern with beginners in mind. Each and every step is explained in detail, so no prior beading experience is ever required.

Photo for each and every step

Each close-up, high-resolution, full-color photo is carefully taken to show exactly what’s happening in the step. We edit every photo to ensure they’re as bright and clear as possible, and often add special annotations for further clarity.
