Oh My Stars Bracelet in Two Colorways


OH MY STARS BRACELET
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
  • SuperUno beads "Chalk Senegal Brown"
  • SuperDuo beads "Chalk Senegal"
  • O-Beads "Opaque Smoky Topaz Gold Luster"



This is Tammy Kemp's first beading pattern and you can buy it HERE. I tried the pattern for the first time a few days ago. It has clear, easy to follow diagrams and she even tells you how many of each kind of beads you will need for most wrist sizes. The bracelet comes out very thin and delicate and her chart was exactly right about the number of beads I would need to fit my 6-inch wrist.

You'll need SuperDuos and SuperUnos in the same or similar color unless you're not fussy about the open SuperDuo holes showing. In that case you can just use all SuperDuos, if you like. I'm fussy about it so I came up with these two colorways using the two SuperUno colors that I have on hand.

SuperUnos only have a hole on one end. They're a little more difficult to find than other kinds of beads so I've compiled a list of online bead shops that do have them. The list is at the bottom of this post and I will add a link to this post in the "Where to buy..." list on the right hand side of my blog so you can easily find these links later.

If I ever get more SuperUno beads, I might try making one of these bracelets with only the larger motifs. I think that would be a pretty variation.
