TOP EMBELLISHMENT

1) Pick up three 15 0 s, sew through the 11 0 your

thread is exiting to form a picot, and continue

through the next Ilos and 11 0 (b–c). Repeat this

stitch for the remainder of this edge, sewing

through the beads as shown after the last stitch

to exit the first 11 0 on the opposite edge (c–d).

2) Repeat step 1 for this edge, and continue

through the first two 15 0 s added (d–e).

3) Pick up a 4 mm bicone, and sew through the

corresponding center 15 0 on the opposite edge

(figure 6, a–b). Sew back through the bicone

and center 15 0 your thread exited at the start

of this step (b–c). Continue through the next

150 , 11 0 , Ilos, 11 0 , and two 15 0 s (c–d). Repeat

these stitches for the remainder of the bracelet,

but after sewing through the end Ilos on the last

stitch, just continue through the next 15 0 , 8 0 , 15 0 ,

Ilos, and 11 0 (figure 7, point a).

4) Work as in steps 1–2 to add another set of

picots on both edges, positioning them under the

previous picots, but end the threads after sewing

through the last Ilos on the last stitch (a–b).

5) Attach a jump ring to half of the clasp and

the clasp loop. Repeat on the other end of the

bracelet. B&B
