CUBE BROCADE BRACELETS

©2015 Deborah Roberti

My two-hole bead Brocade Bracelets pattern has a sister! The Cube Brocade Bracelets pattern uses NO two-hole beads at all. Instead, use size 11 seed beads, “any” type size 3mm beads and 3mm cube beads to make a band or wider cuff (separate directions for each), OR use size 8 seed beads, “any” type size 4mm beads and 4mm cube beads to make some fatter bracelets using the same step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions.

Stitch: Various

Beads Used: Size 8/0 or 11/0 seed beads, size 3mm or 4mm beads (fire-polished beads and round beads work best) and 3mm or 4mm cube beads

Approx Finished Size: About .75 to 1.5 inches wide to desired length

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.
