I have a confession to make: I am absolutely addicted to the right angle weave. Attempting to create a fun bracelet using the amethyst chip strand, I wove my happy little heart out and this fun bracelet was the result. All you have to do is pick up 3 chips on the left, 2 chips on the right, cross over and repeat. So easy but so much fun!

Instructions:
This project requires knowledge of the right angle weave technique. If you need instructional information about this technique, please view Karla Kam Right Angle Weave Bracelet.
1. Center 5 chips on a 3 foot piece of wire. Cross over through the last chip added.
2. Pick up 3 chips on the left and 2 chips on the right. Cross over through the last chip added on the left.
3. Repeat step 2 until your bracelet is about 1 inch shy of your desired length.
4. Add 2 chips and 1 crimp bead to each piece of beading wire. Run each wire through a loop on the clasp. Run each wire down through a crimp bead and then down through the 2 chips just added. Crimp. Cut excess wire.
5. Take a spare piece of beading wire through the opposite end of the bracelet (this will be the point where your work began). Repeat step 4.
