Threaded Bracelets

You know I never actually know whether to call this type of beading threading or weaving because technically I use a needle and this type of thread that's clear but looks nearly like fishing line. It's used for threading though.

Anyways let me show you the yummy bracelets I've made but forgot to upload yesterday!

RUSSIAN SNAKE BRACELETS:

Threaded bracelets - russian snake in red, clear and matte brownFor this bracelet I used matte brown seed beads as well as clear silver seed beads. The beads in the middle of the two colour are red beads I've had for years but never used.

I love the effect the matte seed beads give to this bracelet. It's vampy.

Threaded bracelets - russian snake in glass blue, oil slick blue and clearThreaded bracelets - russian snake in glass blue, oil slick blue and clearThis was a custom order for a wedding that I used oil slick blue and clear seed beads. The beads in between the two colours are these clear glass beads with splashes of blue and pink or blue and green on them. @parastar got them for me for my birthday last year! I love how this one sparkles.

 

PURPLE HAZE VARIATION 1:

Threaded bracelets - purple haze in blue, clear and black

Threaded bracelets - purple haze in blue, clear and blackThe pattern for this bracelet is called "Purple Haze" and I got the pattern from Around The Beading Table but this is my own variation of the pattern, using my own colours.

I used clear diamond beads with 2 black beads for the center of the wrist and then the blue oil slick beads.

PURPLE HAZE VARIATION 2:

Threaded bracelets - purple haze using seed beads

 Threaded bracelets - purple haze using seed beadsHere I followed the "Purple Haze" pattern but entirely used silver seed beads for it and for the corners of the wrist used pearly, white seed beads.

I made it's own toggle clasp from a pattern I found on My Amari using the same silver seed beads.

Threaded bracelets - purple haze using seed beadsIt took me ages to do but I love the feel of this bracelet and how delicate it looks. It's subtle but still stands out! Thinking about it, this design would make a stunning CHOKER as well!
