Dragon fly Bracelet
Dragonfly Bracelet
I use a lot of garnet in my patterns because I like it a lot, but you could just as easily use another type of semiprecious bead or even glass. It might be a great children’s bracelet in pastel colors. Finished size 6 1/2”.
Material list as follows: 2 - Black crimps Approx. 8" of wire (like Soft Flex or Acculon) 1 – Magnetic Clasp 8 - 3mm Garnet Rondelles 18 – 2mm Round Garnet Beads 16 – 6/0 Shiny Black Beads 4 – 8mm Pewter Dragonfly Beads (I found mine at a bead store in Wisconsin, but have also seen them at stores like Michael’s and Joanne’s) 3 – 4mm Round Corrugated Silver Beads
Begin by stringing one 2mm round garnet bead, then repeat the following pattern four times:
1 – Black Bead 1 – 2mm Garnet Bead 1 – Garnet Rondelle 1 – 2mm Garnet Bead 1 – Black Bead 1 – Dragonfly Bead 1 – Black Bead 1 – 2mm Garnet Bead 1 – Garnet Rondelle 1 – 2mm Garnet Bead 1 – Black Bead When complete, string the final 2mm garnet, a crimp bead and one side of the clasp.
