This quick to make, easy to learn bracelet gathers more than its fair share of compliments! The sparkly Swarovski crystals and the punctuating “Picot Point” edges seem to draw the eyes when ever it’s worn.

You will learn to form the base of the bracelet with interconnecting circles of beads, weave on embellishing beads in a criss-cross pattern, add a clasp with seed beads instead of jump rings, and finish with the distinctive picots.
