TREASURE ISLAND BEADED BRACELET - By Lisa Jordan

Hey Beaders!

I just realized that I hadn't made a blog post about one of my most popular designs, Treasure Island Bracelet!

This design is fairly simple using beads you already have in your stash, but can be made to look so different depending on what colors you use. 

CzechMates Tiles are so great for using as a base bead to create all sorts of designs, but they are also great as a focal piece in the design! They are one of my favorite beads!

You can find this pattern HERE.

These are the versions I made for the tutorial:

And here are some versions that were sent to me by others:

Have you tried this pattern? I'd love to see your version!

Happy Beading!

NORTH STAR BEADED BRACELET TUTORIAL - By Lisa Jordan

Hey Beaders!
I finished one of my favorite patterns yet!
This design was so fun to make and takes on many different looks depending on how you connect the components or what colors you use. 
This design uses the CzechMates QuadraLentil for structure and Crescents for texture. 

I'd love to hear your feedback on this one! You can purchase the tutorial on my Etsy shop HERE.

Happy beading!

GRAND GARLAND TUTORIAL - By Lisa Jordan

Hello Beaders!

I just finished my tutorial I call Grand Garland. This is a cute wreath inspired pattern with all sorts of tips to adjust it and make different variations with different beads. 

I hope you give it a shot and let me know how it goes. They are SO FUN to make! These make a great single component, a bracelet or even necklace. Depending on the colors you choose, it doesn't even have to look like something holiday related. It's totally up to you!

You can find the pattern on my Etsy shop HERE.

Enjoy!!
