Instructions:

  1. Thread on one 4mm bead, one 6/0 bead, one 8/0 bead, one 11/0 bead, and one 8/0 bead.
     
  2. Pass through the 4mm bead, making a ring. Pull snug.
     
  3. Pick up one 4mm bead, and pass through the first 6/0 bead.
     
  4. Pick up one 6/0 bead and pass through the first 8/0 bead.
     
  5. Pick up one 8/0 bead, two 11/0 beads and one 8/0 bead. Pass through the last 4mm bead.
     
  6. Repeat steps 3 - 5, but each time a row is added, add an additional 11/0 bead until you get up to nine (or the number desired to make it lacy looking).
     
  7. Weave the strand to one inch (2.54cm) shorter than the desired finished length.
     
  8. Decrease to end the strand by dropping off one 11/0 bead in each row until only one remains.
     
  9. Tie off the thread against the crimp bead by passing the thread through it several times, making half hitch knots each time. Spear knots with needle and tie off once more. Apply BeadFix to the knot. Trim excess thread. Close clamshell. Repeat for the other side.
     
  10. Attach jump rings to each part of the clasp.
     
  11. Bend the bars of the clamshell bead tip around the jump rings to attach the clasp to the bracelet.

Spiral bracelets have a big visual impact, and you see them for sale but they can be pricey or perhaps not in the color combination you need. These instructions are super and you can create some super color combinations or even vary the size beads to make it a chunkier look if you keep the process consistent with the instructions. Thank you for these detailed instructions!

I would like to see a picture of the bracelet

Hi, If you are having trouble understanding these instructions please feel free to contact the manufacturer of Beadalon at httpwww.beadalon.comcontactinfo.asp Thanks -The Editors at FaveCrafts

This is a beautiful bracelet, but the instructions are hard to understand if a person is a beginner. Instructions need to be more detailed and perhaps showing exactly how to do the project. This is something I cannot use time for because the instructions are not understood. Thank you.
