This statement bracelet was inspired from the Missoni collection that seemed to be very popular in the past months. It is very bold and beautiful bracelet.
In this project I used tear drop shaped beads with an AB finish and shades of blue, gold and light pink. The Spinning Top Beaded Bead used for the clasp was designed by Florence Turnour and Gwen Fisher. The pattern is available for free download at http://www.beadinfinitum.com/Kits/SpinningTopInstructions.pdf or you can simply use a button. Also, you can change the colors of the cords and the beads for a different look.
It is probably best for this tutorial if you would have at least some previous knowledge and experience working with macrame. Although, I have included a separate document, also illustrated with clear pictures, that shows you how to make the basic knots and also the names of them that I use throughout the tutorial as, different people use different names and terms.
The tutorial gives step by step instructions on how to make all parts of the bracelet, how to finish it, etc. The colors of the cords I used can be substituted with whichever you prefer. The document on PDF is beautifully designed and illustrated. The instructions are clear and consice.
The tutorial is contains 7 beautifully illustrated pages, including more than 25 pictures. This listing is for the TUTORIAL ONLY, the materials are not included.
