Loom Bead Pattern - Ethnic #2 Mint Cuff and similar items

This pattern is also available in peyote. This is for the pattern only and is not for a completed bracelet. The bracelet pictured is loomed by my Pattern Tester, Georgia Grisolia, who is the best Bead Angel I could ever ask for. GGs Designs uses my patterns to loom her beautiful bracelets with a few adjustments to my design: she changed the colors, adjusted the size, tapered the ends and added an aesthetic clasp. DESCRIPTION OF PATTERN: The pattern uses 5 Delica colors and it measures 2.25 x 8 inches or desired dimensions, using size 11 Miyuki Delicas. Sold as a digital download, this bracelet pattern can be used as a panel, hatband, bookmark, choker, credit card holder, amulet, etc. by reducing or enlarging the pattern accordingly and/or using different size beads. The PDF file includes: 1. a large color image of the pattern, 2. a large symbol graph, 3. a word chart and 4. a list of suggested Delica colors with the amounts of suggested beads needed. Print the page/s you want: Print 9 pages for both the symbol graph and word chart or print 5 pages for the symbol graph only. The design may be loomed or stitched using either the square stitch or the flat herringbone stitch. THIS PATTERN DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOOMING, SQUARE OR FLAT HERRINGBONE (NDEBELE) STITCHES. YOU MUST KNOW ONE OF THESE METHODS TO CONSTRUCT THIS BRACELET. Be sure to contact me to get my 4 COMPLIMENTARY PDFs, for size 11s and 15s, which list the Delica 'Safe Beads' I have compiled. I don't suggest any dyed or galvanized beads in the palettes because they fade and the color rubs off with time. I also don't use satin/silk beads because they tend to cut the beading thread and because they are thinner than other Delicas, they break very easily. It would be a shame to put money, time and effort into your piece only to have the color change, the thread cut or the beads break. I want your beaded art to last forever. The colors of my designs are only suggestions, but please remember to avoid dyed, galvanized and satin/silk beads, so you won't be disappointed later. The 4 COMPLIMENTARY 'Safe Beads' Lists also indicate the bead finishes that will either pop or recede in your beadwork. The P or R after the Delica's Mfg # represents whether the bead (P)ops (comes forward) or (R)ecedes (fades into the background) of the design. PR or RP indicates that the bead can either pop or recede depending on the type of bead finish it is next to. Keep this in mind if you change my suggested colors. Please take the time to read my "Policies" before placing your order. Come back soon, as I have 100s of patterns that I will be listing in my store .... Beadholden Designs. I hope you enjoy beading up my patterns as much as I enjoy designing them and until we speak again, BEad HAPPY!
