    [1] On 4 yd. (3.7m) of Fireline, leaving
    a 10-in. (25cm) tail, use 80 seed beads to stitch a three-bead ladder (Basics, p. 140 and figure 1). Mine is 54 rows long. (To alter the length of your bracelet, stitch fewer or more rows.) [2] Exit the last row of the ladder, and pick up two color A 110 seed beads, an 80, three As, half the clasp, and three As. Sew back through the 80 (figure 2, ab). Pick up two As, and sew back through the last row of the ladder (bc). Reinforce the beads just added with a second and third thread path. Exit at point c. [3] Pick up five As, and sew through the middle 80 on the base, two rows from where your thread is exiting (figure 3, ab). Pick up five As, and sew

    The base of this bracelet is made with 80 Japanese cylinder beads. They are very uniform and have large holes that work well when used for embellishment.

    through the first row of 80s (bc). Then sew through the next row (cd). [4] Repeat step 3 with color B 110s, reversing the direction of the thread path, as shown in figure 4. [5] Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the color C, D, and E 110s, making a repeating pattern with the five colors. [6] When you reach the first row, repeat step 2, using the other half of the clasp. Secure the working thread in the last few rows by weaving in the thread and tying half-hitch knots (Basics) between a few beads. Trim the thread. [7] Secure the tail in the same manner as the working thread. w Contact Julz in care of Busy Beads, (951) 695-3338.
