Glistening Tracks Bracelet Pattern

Learn how to make this "Glistening Tracks" bracelet that features a single row of your choice of either crystals or pearls framed on each side by alternating colors of seed beads. The back, or inside of the bracelet, is stitched up with just seed beads. That way, you can have classy crystals (or pearls) on the front and still enjoy a smooth and comfortable bracelet against your skin. The herringbone beading stitch is one of our favorites among all the beading stitches - we love the unique angle at which the beads sit in relation to each other, as well as the process of adding the beads and combining stitches that allows you to work more efficiently. Best of all, the herringbone stitch is visually interesting, super classy, and always in style.

We consider this an intermediate design, so some beading experience is helpful. But don't be afraid to tackle this project if you're a confident beginner. We'll hold your hand every step of the way, so you'll be successful. This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 100 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
