Crystal 8 Bracelet
by Diana Wilson

Size 8 Delicas are ladder stitched to form a base. Bicone crystals nestle just their points in the large bead openings on the sides. Tiny size 15 seed beads crisscross the surface adding interesting texture and color to this slinky sparkler.

Materials needed:

59 Delica beads, size 8: Topaz version color #115, Blue version #321
58 Swarovski Bicone crystals, each 4mm, Topaz or a mix of Blue, Green & Purple
63 Seed Beads, size 11, Gold lined Matte Taupe or Blue Iris
343 Seed Beads, size 15, Metallic Bronze or Matte Blue Iris
Fireline size 4lb, or beading thread of choice strong enough to withstand the sharp crystal edges, yet fine enough to fit through the size 15 seeds several times
