"I have been a Beader's Advantage Member for years now and I love it. I send an order about once a week and sometimes more but I NEVER shop for beads elsewhere. Aunties Beads is the best I have ever found and I love the speed on shipping, quality of beads and beading supplies and the ordering accuracy on my orders that Aunties Beads provides. Never a day goes by without checking out the Aunties Beads website. The Advantage program cannot be beat."

"I couldn't believe how fast my order came. I was very pleased with everything I ordered and I definitely will be ordering alot more. Love the videos, they're alot of fun and helpful. The website is awesome! Thank You!"
- Chris from Missouri

"I love ordering through auntiesbeads.com! I live in a town where the closest thing to a bead store (hobby lobby) is 30 minutes away and the quality and service aren't up to par. With your website I can get most everything I need in a very short period of time and with anything that isn't available I can sign up for emails to let me know when they become available. Thank you for being my go-to bead supplier!"

Twisting Tide Bracelet

I must say--this is one of my favorite bracelets I have made as of yet. I love the way the seed beads and crystals gently frame the twist beads. And just looking at the color combination, I get a peaceful easy feeling.

Shanna Steele, Auntie's Beads Designer

Instructions:


For more information on the technique used in this bracelet, please watch the Karla Kam Right Angle Weave video.

1. Take a piece of beading wire measuring about 3 feet. Center a round on your beading wire. On the left, pick up 4 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 more seed beads. On the right, pick up 4 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 more seed beads. Take your left wire from left to right through an 18mm twist bead. Take your right wire through that same twist bead, running the wire from right to left. Your wires should be coming out of the same bead but on opposite sides.

2. Take your right wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the twist bead. On the right wire, pick up 3 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 seed beads. Take your left wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the twist bead. On your left wire, pick up 3 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 seed beads. Run your left wire from left to right through an 8mm round. Run your right wire from right to left through the same 8mm round.

3. Take your right wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the 8mm round. Pick up 3 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 seed beads. Take your left wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the 8mm round. Pick up 3 seed beads, a bicone, and 4 seed beads. Take your left wire through a twist bead, running the wire from left to right. Take your right wire through the same twist bead, running the wire from right to left.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have 5 rounds and 4 twist beads.

5. Your threads should be exiting out of an 8mm round. They should be running in opposite directions out of the same bead. Run your left wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the 8mm round. On your left wire, pick up a seed bead, a bicone, and 2 seed beads. Run your right wire through the seed bead nearest the hole in the 8mm round. On your right wire, pick up a seed bead, a bicone, and 2 seed beads.

6. Run your left wire through an 8mm round from left to right. Run your right wire from right to left through the same bead. Run your left wire through the seed bead nearest the 8mm round. Pick up 4 seed beads and a crimp bead on the left. Make sure your round jump ring is completely closed. Run your wire over it, then back down through the crimp, then down through a couple of nearby seed beads. Crimp and trim.

7. Run your right wire through the seed bead nearest the 8mm round. Pick up 4 seed beads and a crimp bead on the right. Run your beading wire over the same jump ring, then back down through the crimp bead, then down through a couple of nearby seed beads. Crimp and trim.

8. Take a piece of beading wire measuring about 1 foot. Run it through the 8mm round you started with in step 1. Then repeat steps 5 through 7 to complete the bracelet.

9. On one end, add an oval jump ring and a trigger clasp. On the other end, add an oval jump ring and a piece of chain that contains a smooth round, roped round, and smooth round. Your bracelet is now ready to wear!
