Jewel Tone Bracelet Trio

Create these beaded jewel tone bracelets from Katie Hacker and stack them up or give one to a friend.

Materials:

• Elasticity™ elastic bead cord, .5mm diameter
• Seven 6mm bicone glass beads
• Seven 8mm bicone glass beads
• Fourteen 6mm round silver filigree beads
• G/S Hypo Cement glue
• Desginer Scissors
• Adhesive tape

Steps:

1. Cut a 9" length of Elasticity™. Place a piece of adhesive tape over one end to prevent the beads from sliding off. String beads in the following pattern: 6mm bicone bead, filigree bead, 8mm bicone bead, filigree bead. Repeat this pattern until all of the beads are used.
    
2. Remove the adhesive tape. Tie the ends in a square knot. Place a drop of glue on the knot; let it dry. Cut off any excess cord, then tuck the knot into the nearest large-hole bead.

Tip: A half knot is the same knot that you make when tying your shoe. To make a square knot, tie two half knots in opposite directions, ie. right over left and left over right.
