A PINCH OF ELEGANCE BRACELET - By Starman TrendSetter Lisa Jordan

Happy Holidays Beaders!

My latest design is patterned, and out for your enjoyment. It is available for free at the Starman Pattern site.

This one is so quick and easy to make, you'll want to make 2, 3, 4 or 5. Make them in all different colors and stack them on your wrist, or give them to friends as gifts. When I sit down to make one of these, I can easily do a bracelet in less than a half hour. You can extend the bracelet pattern to make a matching necklace. You can even shorten the pattern and make matching earrings. There's so much you can do with this fun design. 

Hope you like it!
If you try it, I'd love to see the color ways you choose!

You will need: 

• Pinch Beads
• TOHO 11/o Seed Beads

DAGGER DUO BRACELET - Design By Starman TrendSetter Lisa Jordan

Hey Beaders!

Here is a design I created that is available for free on the Starman blog. 

It's called the Dagger Duo. It's a very simple design that anyone can do. I love using the Starman Mini Dagger beads (which you see on the outside of the design), and they fit perfectly with the SuperDuo and the Takumi 9/0 seed beads from TOHO. 

This one is so easy and fun to make that I could sit and make 10 of them in different color ways just for fun.

You should give it a try!

Materials you'll need:

*TOHO Takumi Large Hole Seed Beads 9/0

*SuperDuo Beads (I used the Halo color collection here)

*Mini Dagger Beads (I used the Metallic Suede color collection)

*TOHO One-G Thread

*And your favorite clasp

Happy Beading!
