STEPPING-STONE BAND

©2018 Deborah Roberti

Use size 11 seed beads, any type of 3mm bead, Czech two-hole diamond beads (GemDuo or DiamonDuo) and Honeycomb beads to make this easy band that feels great on any wrist. It looks especially cool when you use GemDuo “Duet” (two-color) beads. Instead of Honeycomb beads, you can use 6x6mm or 7x7mm two-hole Czech cabochon beads. Full step-by-step directions included.

Stitch: Right-angle weave and netting variation

Beads Used: Size 11 seed beads, any type of 3mm bead (round and fire-polished beads work best), Czech two-hole diamond beads (GemDuo or DiamonDuo) and Honeycomb beads (you can use 6x6mm or 7x7mm two-hole Czech cabochon beads instead)

Approx Finished Size: About an inch 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.
