Crescent Cuddles
Starman TrendSetter Sue Charette-Hood created beaded beads using CzechMates Crescent beads to create a colorful ring that captures a 10mm round bead.
Note - the original pattern uses 15/0 TOHO seed beads, along with bead wire and crimp beads. The colorways in The Gallery of Color Suggestions are slightly modified versions of the original pattern and the materials listings in the Gallery reflect the changes made for each colorway. In all four colorways, I connected the beads and beaded beads with an 11/0 seed bead, an O bead and another 11/0 seed bead. You can also see in the photos of the clasp end of the bracelets I used an 11/0 seed bead, and O bead and added the wire guards with an 11/0 seed bead on each end of the guard, nestling with the O bead.
Materials & Sizing
108 CzechMates® Crescent Beads
11 10mm Round Beads
1 Gram TOHO 11/0 Seed Beads
16 O Beads
TOHO One-G Thread (to stitch the beaded beads)
6lb FireLine (to string the bracelet, optional)
2 Wire Guards
Clasp of Choice
Bracelet as instructed measures approx. 7.00" before clasp. Each Crescent piece mearusres approx .75". NOTE - the larger size of the 10mm and beaded beads require a bit more length to fit as other thinner bracelets on your wrist. I normally wear a 6.5" bracelet - but find that the 7" length in this pattern fits nicely.
This pattern is available as a FREE printed insert in your order, but you must choose it from the drop-down box when checking out.
