Instructions in making the beaded bangle bracelet:

Step 1: Make the Starting cord

1^st, snip off 2 long tiger wire, and tie knot to each hole of the clasp as shown in the picture;

2^nd, slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to the 4 wires, and then divide them into 2 sets. Slide 3 orange 2mm cubic beads and a 4mm blue cubic bead to each set;

3^rd, snip off a long tiger wire (with the same length) and thread the wire through the 2 4mm blue cubic bead;

4^th, thread a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides and another blue cubic bead to the 2 wires in the right middle(the new wire in 3^rd process);

5^th, repeat the pattern: thread a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides, and slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to every 2 wires as shown in the picture;

6^th, cross the wire at side through the 2^nd blue cubic bead in line and then cross back through the bead on itself and tighten. Do the same as for the other wire on side until you’ve weave the pattern in the picture below.

Step 2: Beaded the bangle bracelet pattern

1^st, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads to each wire, and then divide them into 3 sets by crossing every 2 wire through a 4mm blue glass bead;

2^nd, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads plus a 4mm blue cubic bead at each wire;

3^rd, repeat 1^st and 2^nd process to bead the bangle bracelet pattern until it reaches a proper length.

Step 3: Make the ending cord

1^st, slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides, and a 4mm blue cubic beads to every 2 wires in the middle;

2^nd, cross the first wire through the second bead and then cross back through the bead in line. Do the same as for the last wire;

3^rd, slide a blue cubic bead to each wire at side and a bead to the 4 wires in the middle. Divide the wires into 2 sets, and slide a blue cubic bead to each set;

4^th, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads to each set, and combine them by adding a blue cubic bead and finally tie wires to the clasp and trim off the excess.

Give Your Jewelry a Captivating Look with Glass Beads

A jeweler, who creates products for every type of client, cannot ignore glass beads. This accessory has the charm of the crystal but is not pricey at all. Hence, using it, you can create and offer charming jewelry pieces without asking your clients to drain their savings. 

Bring variety to your collection

Other benefit of glass beads is that it comes in a host of shades while crystals are available only in a limited number of colors. The variety of colors in glass beads starts from basic colors like red, green, yellow, and blue to shades of magenta, white, aquamarine, Persian blue and so on. Meaning, when you work with these beads, you can add more variety to your collection that women will simply love to wear and readily spend their money on. 

Enter the vibrant world of glass beads

The beads are made of different techniques, which give them a distinct shape and structure. Take the example of crackle glass bead, which is actually made of cracked glass. By immersing molten glass in extremely cold water, it is made to develop distinct cracks. Then, it is placed over fire and blown to provide the shape and size of a bead. The resultant bead has a plain surface with cracked glass inside it. The look is chic and very striking. Since the glass can crack in a variety of ways, every glass bead has a different structure under its surface. It lends uniqueness to every bead. Another very popular variety is millefiori glass beads. The technique of making them originated in Venice during the 15^th century. In it, the glass is rolled into a cylindrical shape that has a mix of patterns and colors. Now, the cylinders are placed over heat so that they solidify. Next, they are cut and pressed. These beads can have innumerable patterns such as flowers, leaves, snowflakes, and so on. As mostly bright colors are used in them, they are a good choice for jewelry for young women. 

Create perfect imitation jewelry with glass pearls

Glass pearls look just like real pearls and sometimes they look many times more attractive than the latter. That is why a host of women goes for glass pearl ornaments. Being made of glass, they are also cheaper. Moreover, you can find these beads in a good number of colors. Therefore, creating a wide collection of jewelry is possible with them. Looks wise, ornaments made of these imitation pearls look better than real pearls because of their balanced size, luster, and lively colors.
