Instructions
Step 1
Gather your supplies
Firstly, we want to place all our beads into magic sorting trays so that they are easy to reach while making this piece.
Measure and cut roughly 200 cm of thread for this DIY. If you run out during the project, it is easy to simple tie more thread onto the end of your existing thread.
Step 2
Start beading
Place your thread through your needle, then place these beads onto your needle in this order:
Peridot
Seed Bead
Peridot AB
Seed Bead
Peridot
Seed Bead
Peridot AB
Seed Bead
Tie the ends of your thread together, this will secure the beads into a loop. Make sure you leave one end short, then the other end of your thread you will use to create the rest of the bracelet.
Step 3
Creating your clover
Pick up three seed beads onto your needle and thread it through the next bicone bead to the right of where your thread is poking from.
Pick up three more seed beads and thread your needle through the next bicone bead to the right.
Repeat this step two more times.
Now you’ll need to pick these beads in this order:
Seed Bead
Peridot
Seed Bead
Peridot AB
Seed Bead
Place your needle through the next set of seed beads to the right of where your thread is poking out from. Thread it through the top seed bead.
You will need to repeat this step three more times.
Thread four more seed beads onto your needle and thread this through the next seed bead to the right of where your thread is poking out from.
Thread four more seed beads onto your needle, then thread your needle through next set of three seed beads on the right.
Once again, repeat these two steps until you’ve made it around the whole Clover.
To complete your first clover, thread your need through the next two seed beads to the right of where your thread is currently poking from. Then you will need to thread seven seed beads onto your needle and thread it through the opposite three seed beads on the left rather than the right.
This should create a loop that will allow you to create your next Clover.
Step 4
Creating your second clover
Thread your needle through the next eight seed beads into the loop you just created. Your thread should now be poking out of the middle of the loop we just created.
Add three more seed beads to your needle, then thread this back through the other side of the seed bead your thread in currently poking through. Now thread these beads onto your needle in this order:
Seed bead
Peridot
Seed Bead
Peridot AB
Seed Bead
Peridot
Seed Bead
Peridot AB
Seed Bead
Once again, thread this back through the seed bead your thread is currently poking through.
From here you simply need to repeat the steps above until your bracelet reaches the desired length.
Step 5
Finishing touches
To finish off your bracelet, complete step 3 but don’t continue to step 4. Simply create your loop, then add a trigger clasp to one end of your bracelet, then jump rings to the other end.
