ROBIN'S NEST BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Chocolate" (461)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Chocolate" (461)
- 8mm 2-hole Candy beads "Purple Vega"
- Pinch beads "Alabaster Terracotta Copper"
Teejay sent me these pretty lavender Pinch beads for Christmas a few years ago. You can buy Robin Demarse's bracelet pattern HERE in Carole Ohl's Etsy shop.
This bracelet pattern works with both Miyuki and Toho seed beads but you will need to adjust the bead count with Toho. With Miyuki beads you will use six 11/0 beads on each side of the Candy beads. With Toho beads, use only five on each side. I added a diamond motif on each end to attach my clasp. Without those extensions, the bracelet would have been a little too short for me. For my 6-inch wrist, I needed 8 Candy beads and 32 Pinch beads.
If you need to buy some Candy beads and/or Pinch beads, I have links to sources for both of them over on the right side of my blog under WHERE TO BUY..., or click HERE for Candy beads and HERE for Pinch beads. Bear in mind that they do make a larger size of Pinch beads but these are the regular 5mm size.
I love this bracelet that you have shown the last 2 times. I have checked to see about ordering the pattern from here but it says it's SOLD. I'm pretty sure I could just look at your photos of the bracelet and make it but I wanted to let you know I can't order it. As usual, I love your color choices!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Trudy. The pattern is still for sale. There is a delay after a pattern is sold before it is re-listed. Just keep checking. When I checked a minute ago, it was available.
