ARIEL BAND

©2019 Deborah Roberti

Inspired by Nela Kabelova’s Snake Skin Bracelet and named after a sweet little mermaid, my Ariel Band is for Ginko bead lovers! All you need are size 11/0 Miyuki (rocaille) seed beads, 3mm and 4mm beads (round or fire-polished) and lots of Matubo two-hole Ginko beads. I used two different colored Ginko beads for my bands and instructions but you can use as many or as few colors as you please. Detailed step-by-step directions and illustrations from start to finish.

Stitch: Various

Beads Used: Size 11/0 Miyuki (rocaille) seed beads, 3mm and 4mm beads (round or fire-polished) and Matubo two-hole Ginko beads

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
