<p><strong>MATERIALS</strong><br />
<em>(For about a 7-inch bracelet, not including clasp)</em><br />
• About 4 yards of 6 lb. FireLine<br />
• About 325 size 11/0 Miyuki “rocaille” seed beads<br />
• About 90 size 8/0 Miyuki “rocaille” seed beads<br />
• About 10 size 6mm round beads </p>
<p><img height="147" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/XOXO/00_XOXOBand.jpg" width="216" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Thread your needle with a length of FireLine that you feel comfortable working with and add more as you need it.</p>
<p>Leaving about a 10-inch tail for attaching one end of your clasp,
string an 8/0 seed bead, an 11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead, an 11/0
seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead, an 11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead and an
11/0 seed bead.</p>
<p>Tie the beads together with a tight double knot:</p>

<p><span class="red"><b><span style="color: red;">NOTE:</span></b></span> <em>When you add the 8/0 seed bead
in this step and subsequent steps like it, use your fingers to push the
new 8/0 seed bead toward the existing 8/0 seed bead so that the two 8/0
seed beads are somewhat stacked next to one another and pull your thread
tight to keep them in this position as much as possible. This will give
you a nice “x” formation when you are fished with the motif.</em></p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> String two 11/0 seed beads, an 8/0 seed bead and two 11/0 seed beads. </p>

<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/12Alchemy.jpg" width="67" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 13:</strong> String seven seed beads. Go around and back across through the 6mm bead that you just exited (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="220" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/13Alchemy.jpg" width="75" /></p>

<p><img height="228" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/14Alchemy.jpg" width="67" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 15:</strong> String a 3mm bead. Go around through the seven seed beads beneath the 6mm bead (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>) so that the 3mm bead sits between the top and bottom sets of seven seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="220" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/15Alchemy.jpg" width="70" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 16:</strong> String another 3mm bead. Go back up through the four seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> so that the 3mm bead sits between the top and bottom sets of seven seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="235" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/16Alchemy.jpg" width="67" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 17:</strong> Go back around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="236" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/17Alchemy.jpg" width="74" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 18:</strong> Flip the bracelet over horizontally so
that you are exiting from the left side of the top seed bead instead of
the right side to continue to follow the directions as written and
illustrated:</p>
<p><img height="229" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/18Alchemy.jpg" width="74" /><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <em>When you add the two-hole beads,
many of which have a front and back side, in subsequent repeats of Step
8 to 18, make sure that they are all facing in the same direction.</em></p>
<p><strong>Step 19:</strong> Repeat Step 8 to Step 18 until your bracelet is the length you want it, minus the length of your clasp and about a half-inch:</p>
<p><img height="839" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/19Alchemy.jpg" width="67" /></p>
<p><b><span style="color: #e06666;"><span class="red">NOTE:</span></span></b> <em>You can add more beads when you attach the clasp to make your bracelet longer.</em></p>
<p><strong>Step 20:</strong> To attach your clasp, string a 3mm bead
and two seed beads. Go through your clasp and back down through the last
seed bead that you just strung:</p>
<p><img height="251" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/20Alchemy.jpg" width="69" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">NOTE</span>:</b></span> <em>To make your bracelet longer, just add more beads than directed in this step and the next.</em></p>
<p><strong>Step 21:</strong> String a seed bead and a 3mm bead. Go

exited earlier (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="253" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/21Alchemy.jpg" width="69" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 22:</strong> Go back around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and the clasp several times:</p>
<p><img height="253" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/22Alchemy.jpg" width="69" /></p>
<p>Weave into the bracelet, knot in several places and then cut your thread.</p>
<p><strong>Step 23:</strong> To attach the clasp to the other end of your bracelet, thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 1. </p>
<p>Go up through the four seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Thread your needle with about two feet of FireLine.</p>
<p>Leaving about a 6-inch tail that you can cut and weave in later, string seven seed beads and a 6mm bead. Tie the beads together with a tight double knot:</p>
<p><img height="51" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/01AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="60" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Go back across through the 6mm bead that you just added (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="52" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/02AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="58" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> String seven seed beads. Go around and back across through the 6mm bead that you just exited (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="68" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/03AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="86" /></p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> String a 3mm bead. Go around through the seven seed beads beneath the 6mm bead (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>) so that the 3mm bead sits between the top and bottom sets of seven seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="66" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/05AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="70" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> String another 3mm bead. Go back around through the seven seed beads above the 6mm bead (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="66" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/06AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="79" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 7:</strong> Go back around through the seed beads and 3mm beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="80" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/07AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="68" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 8:</strong> String a 3mm bead, two seed beads and a 3mm bead.</p>
<p>Go around and down through the three seed beads, the 3mm bead and
the three seed beads along the left side of the earring (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="105" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/08AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="67" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 9:</strong> String a 3mm bead, two seed beads and a 3mm bead.</p>
<p>Go around and up through the three seed beads, the 3mm bead, the
three seed beads, the 3mm bead and the seed bead along the right side of
the earring (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="131" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/09AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="67" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 10:</strong> String a seed bead, go through your jump ring and then back down through the same seed bead that you just strung. </p>
<p>Continue down through the seed bead, the 3mm bead, the three seed
beads, the 3mm bead, the three seed beads, the 3mm bead and the seed
bead along the left side of the earring (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="173" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/10AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="67" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">OPTIONAL:</span></b></span> Instead of using a jump ring, you can use a Beadsmith Bead Ending Cymbal Element. </p>
<p>I used a Remata Cymbal for my samples but many other Bead Ending Cymbal Elements will work in much the same fashion.</p>
<p>Go through the bottom hole of your Cymbal. Continue back down through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="166" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/10CymbalAlchemyEarring.jpg" width="67" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 11:</strong> To add a drop bead, string a seed bead, your drop bead and three more seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="252" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/11AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="68" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <em>You can also use more 6mm beads, bicones or stacks of smaller beads as drop beads—the sky’s the limit!</em></p>
<p><strong>Step 12:</strong> Go around and back up through the drop bead, the two seed beads, the 3mm bead and the three seed beads above (highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>)
so that the three seed beads that you added in the last step form a
seed bead picot below the drop bead. You may have to position the seed
beads into place with your fingers:</p>
<p><img height="249" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/12AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="84" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 13:</strong> Go back around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and your jump ring/Cymbal Element:</p>
<p><img height="250" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Alchemy/13AlchemyEarring.jpg" width="85" /></p>
<p>Weave back into the earring, knot and cut your thread.

<p align="center" class="style3"><i>Some quick and easy earrings you can make with Paisley Duo or ZoliDuo beads—Czech two-hole paisley-shaped beads!</i></p><p><b>MATERIALS</b><br />
• About 4 feet of 6 lb. FireLine <i>(or really any thread of choice will work fine)</i><br />
• About 40 size 11/0 seed beads<br />
• 8 size 15/0 seed beads<br />
• 2 size 3mm beads of any type or 8/0 seed beads<br />
• 16 two-hole paisley-shaped beads (16 Paisley Duo beads or 8 left and 8 right ZoliDuo beads)<br />
• Two small (2-4mm) jump rings<br />
• A pair of earring findings</p>
<p><img height="177" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/00_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="252" /></p>
<p><b>Step 1: </b>Thread your needle with about two feet of FireLine.</p>
<p>When beading these earrings, the hardest part is the
beginning—getting the two-hole paisley-shaped beads going in the right
direction, especially if you use ZoliDuo beads which have a “left” and
“right” bead version. I find it easiest to lay them out on my bead mat
first, using the picture below as a guide.</p>
<p>Leaving about a six-inch tail that you can weave in and cut at
any time, string a pair of two-hole paisley-shaped beads, an 11/0 seed
bead, a pair of two-hole paisley-shaped beads, an 11/0 seed bead,
a pair of two-hole paisley-shaped beads, an 11/0 seed bead, a pair
of two-hole paisley-shaped beads and an 11/0 seed bead:</p>
<p><img height="69" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/01_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="403" /></p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> Tie the beads in a circle with a tight double knot:</p>
<p><img height="165" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/02_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="165" /></p>
<p><b>Step 3:</b> Go back around through the two-hole
paisley-shaped beads and 11/0 seed beads that you just added. Grab your
tail thread and tie another tight knot:</p>
<p><img height="179" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/03_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="177" /></p>
<p><b>Step 4:</b> Go back through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="166" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/04_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="166" /></p>
<p><b>Step 5:</b> Go around and down through the outer hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead that you just exited (highlighted
in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="165" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/05_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="166" /></p>
<p><b>Step 6:</b> String a 15/0 seed bead and go through the outside hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="166" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/06_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="165" /></p>
<p><b>Step 7:</b> String two 11/0 seed beads and go through the outside hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="166" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/07_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="165" /></p>
<p><b>Step 8:</b> String a 15/0 seed bead and go through the outside hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="165" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/08_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="169" /></p>
<p><b>Step 9:</b> String two 11/0 seed beads and go through the outside hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="165" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/09_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="166" /></p>

<p><img height="166" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/11_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="165" /></p>
<p><b>Step 12:</b> String a 15/0 seed bead and go through the outside hole of the two-hole paisley-shaped bead highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="165" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/12_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="166" /></p>
<p><b>Step 13:</b> String two 11/0 seed beads and go through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="178" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/13_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="166" /></p>
<p><b>Step 14:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead and go up though the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>.
The 11/0 seed bead that you just added should sit below the pair of two
11/0 seed beads so that the trio of beads form a nice point:</p>
<p><img height="172" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/14_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="177" /></p>
<p><b>Step 15:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead and go up though the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>.
Again, the 11/0 seed bead that you just added should sit beside the
pair of two 11/0 seed beads so that the trio of beads form a nice point:</p>
<p><img height="185" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/15_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="172" /></p>
<p><b>Step 16:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead, a 3mm bead
and an 11/0 seed bead. Go through your jump ring and then back down
through the beads that you just strung. Continue down through the beads
highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="239" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/16_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="184" /></p>
<p><b>Step 17:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead and go around though the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>. Again, this trio of 11/0 seed beads should form a nice point:</p>
<p><img height="239" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/17_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="179" /></p>
<p><b>Step 18:</b> Go back around through the beads highlighted
in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and the jump ring:</p>
<p><img height="239" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/18_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="179" /></p>
<p><b>Step 19:</b> Go back around through the outer ring of

<p class="headLeft"><a href="http://craftyinspirationbylinda.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img height="318" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley_Linda.JPG" width="450" /></a></p>
<p><span class="red"><b>OPTIONAL</b></span><b> STEP 16:</b>
I love the way Linda Genaw adds her earring jump rings. Instead of
adding the beads and jump ring as directed in Step 16, just add a size
8/0 seed bead so it sits on the top two 11/0 seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="186" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/PetitePaisley/16Linda_PetitePaisley.jpg" width="184" /></p>
<p>Continue on with the rest of the steps. Once you are finished,
open and insert the jump ring through the 8/0 seed bead, close it and
connect it to your finding:</p>

<p><b>Step 1: </b><b></b>Thread your needle with a length of FireLine that you feel comfortable working with and add more as you need it.</p>
<p>Leaving about a 10-inch tail for attaching the clasp, string an
11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead and an 11/0 seed bead. Go up the right
hole of a two-hole bead. String an 11/0 seed bead, a 4mm bead and an
11/0 seed bead:</p>
<p><img height="84" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/01Reflection.jpg" width="41" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>You will not be making a knot until Step 3 so keep the tension tight and hold onto this tail thread for now.</i></p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> Go up through the right hole of another

two-hole bead below (i.e. pointy side down). </p>
<p>String an 11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead and an 11/0 seed bead.
Go around and down through the left hole of this same two-hole bead that
you just added:</p>
<p><img height="105" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/02Reflection.jpg" width="41" /></p>
<p><b>Step 3:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead, a 4mm bead and
an 11/0 seed bead. Go down through the left hole of the bottom two-hole

<p><img height="98" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/04Reflection.jpg" width="54" /></p>
<p><b>Step 5:</b> Go back around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> again and exit from the top 8/0 <br />
seed bead:</p>
<p><img height="106" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/05Reflection.jpg" width="58" /></p>
<p><i>You have just finished the first Reflection motif.</i></p>
<p><b>Step 6:</b> String five 8/0 seed beads. Go around and back across through the 8/0 seed bead that you just exited (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>), creating a circle of 8/0 seed beads:</p>
<p><img height="126" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/06Reflection.jpg" width="54" /></p>
<p><b>Step 7:</b> Go back around through the 8/0 seed beads that you just added (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>

<p><b>Step 9:</b> To start the next motif, go up through
the right hole of a new two-hole bead. String an 11/0 seed bead, a 4mm

<p>Go up through the right hole of another new two-hole bead but make
sure it is positioned as a reflection of the two-hole bead below (i.e.
pointy side down):</p>
<p><img height="211" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/09Reflection.jpg" width="45" /></p>
<p><b>Step 10:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed
bead and an 11/0 seed bead. Go around and down through the left hole of
this same two-hole bead that you just exited (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/10Reflection.jpg" width="45" /></p>
<p><b>Step 11:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead, a 4mm bead and
an 11/0 seed bead. Go down through the left hole of the bottom two hole
bead in this new motif (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/11Reflection.jpg" width="45" /></p>

<p><img height="223" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/13Reflection.jpg" width="60" /></p>
<p><i>You have just finished the next Reflection motif.</i></p>
<p><b>Step 14:</b> Go down through the 8/0 seed bead on the circle below (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/14Reflection.jpg" width="57" /></p>
<p><b>Step 15:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead. Go around through the 8/0 seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/15Reflection.jpg" width="51" /></p>
<p>The 11/0 seed bead that you just added should sit beside and a
little between the two adjacent 8/0 seed beads so that the trio of seed
beads form a bit of a point as you pull tight.</p>
<p><b>Step 16:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead. Go back up through the two 8/0 seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="214" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/16Reflection.jpg" width="54" /></p>
<p>Again, the 11/0 seed bead that you just added should sit beside
and a little between the two adjacent 8/0 seed beads so that the trio of
seed beads form a bit of a point as you pull tight.</p>
<p><b>Step 17:</b> Go back up through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> to exit from the top 8/0 seed bead:</p>
<p><img height="216" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/17Reflection.jpg" width="59" /></p>
<p><i>You have just finished the second Reflection motif. To
complete the band, you will repeat Steps 6 to 17 to add more motifs,
joined by 8/0 and 11/0 seed bead circles.</i></p>
<p><b>Step 18:</b> Repeat Step 6 to Step 17 until your band is the length you want it, <i>minus</i> about a quarter-inch <i>and</i> the length of your clasp:</p>
<p><img height="917" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/18Reflection.jpg" width="45" /></p>
<p><b>Step 19:</b> To attach one end of the clasp, string
an 11/0 seed bead and an 8/0 seed bead. Go through your clasp and then
back through the 8/0 seed bead that you just strung:</p>
<p><img height="252" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/19Reflection.jpg" width="46" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>To make your bracelet longer, just add more 11/0 seed beads than directed in this step and the next.</i></p>
<p><b>Step 20:</b> String an 11/0 seed bead. Go across through the 8/0 seed bead that you exited earlier (highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>):</p>
<p><img height="251" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/20Reflection.jpg" width="50" /></p>
<p><b>Step 21:</b> Go back around through the seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and the clasp several times:</p>
<p><img height="251" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/21Reflection.jpg" width="50" /></p>
<p>Weave back into the band, knot in several places and then cut your thread.</p>
<p><b>Step 22:</b> To attach the clasp to the other end of
your bracelet, thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 1. Go
up through the two seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:</p>
<p><img height="193" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Reflection/22Reflection.jpg" width="45" /></p>

Produced by the manufacturers of ZoliDuo beads, WibeDuos are 8mm star-shaped beads with two parallel holes, a “pillowed” front side and a flat back side. <br /><br />My free WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings patterns is available on my website here:<br /><a href="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/WibeDuoTile.html"><b>https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/WibeDuoTile.html</b></a><br />A link to a downloadable PDF is available at the top of the page and links to exact beads used can be found at the end of the step text.<br /><br />Along with WibeDuo beads, the design calls for 3mm fire-polished beads and Miyuki rocaille (round) seed beads. Other seed bead brands may work but I tend to use Miyuki because they are so consistent in size.<br /><br />I beaded up three colorways for the WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings design but used Aztec Gold WibeDuo beads for all three because that is all I have for now. The first colorway is my favorite. I used Miyuki #4514 Picasso Matte Seafoam Green size 11/0 seed beads and 3mm Milky Peridot fire-polished beads.<br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/WibeDuoTile.html"><img alt="WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings, free pattern" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3BHeBQ0tXbs/X7ArfnwIoDI/AAAAAAAACJA/DM32xAlbNu09TcNHLThwZRZL9z8CqquVwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/2.jpg" title="WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings, free pattern" width="400" /> </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/WibeDuoTile.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings, free pattern" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-02rBWAyIKP0/X7Arjm0k8tI/AAAAAAAACJE/-F-dl2cwOb46_xiGbTtvYSs6yVCothFFACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/3.jpg" title="WibeDuo Tile Bracelet & Earrings, free pattern" width="400" /></a></div><p>The second colorway uses my go-to gold seed beads, Miyuki #4204 Duracoat Champagne Rocailles, and 3mm Siam Ruby Marbled Gold fire-polished beads.

11/0 Miyuki rocaille seed beads, 3mm fire-polished beads, 4mm bicone
crystals and 4mm round beads (glass pearl or druk). The second version
is an elaboration of this simple band where you will add SuperDuo beads
to give the band some width and wow. Both designs are fully illustrated
with detailed step-by-step instructions. </p><p>Just click on a picture to get to my website for pattern and bead details.

<b>Step 1: </b>Thread your needle with a length that you feel comfortable working with and add more as you need it. <br />
<br />
<br />
Leaving about a 10-inch tail for attaching the clasp, go through
the bottom hole of a Color1 Gemduo bead, the top hole of a Color2 Gemduo
bead and the bottom hole of another Color1 Gemduo bead:<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>You will not be making a knot until Step 4 so keep the tension tight and hold onto this tail thread for now.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Step 2:</b> String four seed beads. Go around the
Color1 Gemduo bead that you just exited and across through the top hole
of this same Color1 Gemduo bead:<br />

<br />
Go through these seed beads and the clasp several times to
reinforce it. Weave back into the bracelet, knot in several places and
cut your thread.<br />
<br />
Thread your needle with the tail thread from step 1. Repeat
step 17 to attach the other end of the clasp. If your bracelet seems a
bit too short, just add more seed beads at both ends when attaching the
clasp.<br />

created for the gorgeous new Czech 8x6mm Baroque oval two-hole
cabochons, this design also works perfectly with 7mm Baroque round
two-hole cabochons and 7mm round Czechmates two-hole cabochons. The
stitch is very easy—basically a modified right-angle weave—and along
with the two-hole cabochons, all you need are some size 11 seed beads

<b>MATERIALS</b><br />
<i>(for a 7 to 7.5-inch bracelet, not including the length of your clasp)</i><br />
• 3 yards of 6 lb. FireLine<br />
• About 300 size 11/0 Miyuki rocaille seed beads <i>(Toho may
be a bit too fat)</i><br />
• About 28 size 3mm fire-polished beads<br />
• About 12 two-hole cabochons <i>(8x6mm Baroque oval cabochons, 7mm Baroque round cabochons or 7mm round Czechmates cabochons)</i><br />
• clasp<br />

<img height="120" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Astral/00Astral.jpg" width="252" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 1: </b>Thread your needle with about 3 yards of
FireLine (or start with a length that you feel comfortable working with
and add more as you need it).<br />
<br />
Leaving about a 10-inch tail for attaching one end of your clasp,
string a seed bead, a fire-polished bead and a seed bead. Go up through
the right hole of a two-hole cabochon bead. <br />
<br />
String a seed bead, a fire-polished bead and a seed bead. Go down

<br />
<b>Step 3:</b> String six seed beads.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>If you are using Toho brand
rocaille seed beads, which are a bit fatter than the Miyuki brand seed
beads, you may only need five seed beads in this step and the next. If
your rocaille seed beads, or your two-hole cabochon beads, are on the
small size, you may need to add seven seed beads in this step and the
next. Go with what fits best as you surround the cabochons with seed
beads.</i><br />
<br />
Go around (but <i><b>NOT</b></i> through) the left

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>If you want to make your

<br />
Repeat Steps 7-22 until your bracelet is the length you want it, minus about a half-inch and the length of your clasp.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 23:</b> To attach one end of your clasp, string a
seed bead, a dark crystal and two seed beads. Go through one end of the
clasp and back through the last seed bead that you just strung:<br />

<br />
<img height="204" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Guinevere/guinevere24.jpg" width="137" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 25:</b> Now the name of the game is to weave
your way back through the clasp two more times to reinforce it. You can
do this absolutely anyway you wish but the <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> line is a suggested path:<br />
<br />
<img height="206" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Guinevere/guinevere25.jpg" width="141" /><br />
<br />
Weave your way back into the bracelet, knot in several places and then cut your thread.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 26:</b> To attach the clasp to the other end of
the bracelet, simply thread your needle with the tail from Step 1. Go
through the top-right pearl:<br />

<br />
Use excess thread to go back through the beads along the outer edges, knot in several places and cut your thread.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 26:</b> To attach the clasp to the other end of
your band, thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 1. Weave
your way around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and repeat Step 23 to Step 25:<br />

<br />
Here is my Bondeli collection. The beads are rather difficult to photograph but I tried my best. Just click on a picture for more information on the pattern and beads used are listed at the bottom of every pattern page. <br />

<br />
<b>Step 9:</b> Go back around through the five seed

<br />
<b>Step 11:</b> Go back across through the seed beads above the Chevron Duo bead highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>
but skip the middle seed bead. Pull tight and as you do, this middle
seed bead will pop up, giving you a nice “peak” of seed beads:<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <b>You can go through all five
seed beads instead of skipping the middle seed bead in the grouping in
this step and other steps if you prefer a more rounded grouping of seed
beads or if the seed beads that you used are on the small size and will
not form a “peak”.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Step 12:</b> Go through the seed bead, the 3mm bead, the seed bead and the seed beads highlighted in <span class="red">RED</span>
above the next Chevron Duo bead, skipping that middle seed bead and
pulling tight to let it pop out if you wish to create a “peak” of seed
beads:<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Step 14:</b> Go back down through the left hole of the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:<br />
<br />
<img height="114" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/14Anchor.jpg" width="600" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 15:</b> Go through seed beads highlighted in <span class="red">RED</span>
below the bottom first Chevron Duo bead, skipping that middle seed bead
and pulling tight to let it pop out if you wish to create a “peak” of
seed beads:<br />
<br />
<img height="114" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/15Anchor.jpg" width="600" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 16:</b> Go through the seed bead, the 3mm bead,
the seed bead and the seed beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> below the next Chevron Duo bead, skipping that middle seed bead
and pulling tight to let it pop out if you wish to create a “peak” of
seed beads:<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Step 17:</b> Repeat the last step all the way across the bottom of the bracelet:<br />
<br />
<img height="47" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/17Anchor.jpg" width="600" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 18:</b> To attach your clasp, go up through the right hole of the Chevron Duo and GemDuo beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:<br />
<br />
<img height="113" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/18Anchor.jpg" width="156" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 19:</b> String a seed bead, a 3mm bead and three
more seed beads. Go through your clasp and back through the last seed
bead that you just strung:<br />
<br />
<img height="113" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/19Anchor.jpg" width="222" /><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">NOTE:</span></b></span> <i>To make your bracelet longer, just add more beads than directed in this step and the next.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Step 20:</b> String two more seed beads, a 3mm bead
and another seed bead. Go up through the right hole of the Chevron Duo
and GemDuo beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:<br />
<br />
<img height="113" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/20Anchor.jpg" width="222" /><br />
<br />
<b>Step 21:</b> Go back around through the beads highlighted
in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and the clasp twice:<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Step 22:</b> For some extra strength, go back around through the beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span> and the clasp:<br />
<br />
<img height="116" src="https://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/TutorialGraphics/Anchor/22Anchor.jpg" width="222" /><br />
<br />
Weave into the bracelet, knot in several places and then cut your thread.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 23:</b> To attach the clasp to the other end of your bracelet, thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 1.<br />
<br />
Go up through the right hole of the Chevron Duo and GemDuo beads highlighted in <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="red">RED</span></b></span>:<br />
