Demi Bracelet Beading Pattern

When the TOHO seed bead manufacturer introduced their new Demi round seed beads, which are a thinner, doughnut-shaped version of their regular round seed beads, we couldn't wait to work with them. This luscious Demi round bead bracelet has the rich, drapey feel of chain mail, without the bulk and weight, making it easy to throw on and comfortable to wear all day and night. Made up of just Demis and 8/0 seed beads, this texturally rich bracelet features a delicate, repeating X- or flower-shaped pattern, depending on how you look at it, that will easily coordinate and complement whatever you're wearing.

Please note that this stitch is a little more challenging, so some beading experience is helpful. However, this detailed tutorial will help you master this stitch and create a fabulous bracelet in no time. This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 75 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
