Sparkly Seasonal Bracelet Beading Pattern

Learn the basics of wire working to make this "Sparkly Seasonal Bracelet," featuring dazzling bugles, faceted glass fire-polished beads, and seed beads, but it can be made with any size and type of beads you’d like. We used sparkly browns, purples, oranges, and greens for a festive autumn bracelet, frosty blues and whites for a winter bracelet and varying shades of reds and greens for our sparkly holiday bracelet. A great project for beaders of all skill levels, including beginners.

This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 40 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
