The big fat cuff
I've always been attracted to some of the big fat cuffs some beaders have created and wondered what would happen if I added a third row to the Pebbled Bracelet. I also attempted a bead clasp:
To make the bead clasp, in Step 46, I strung three seed beads, a 6mm glass pearl and a seed bead. Then I went back down through the seed bead, the 6mm glass pearl and the seed bead that I just strung. For Step 47, I strung two more seed beads and then went down and around through the seed beads highlighted in RED. From there, it was just a matter of going around through these beads to strengthen the bead clasp:
To make the loop attachment on the other end, I strung twelve seed beads and then went down and around through the seed beads highlighted in RED. I then went around through the loop of seed beads several times to reinforce it:
