Instructions in 10 steps The Antique Rocailles beads have a very special matt colour and an unusual shape. When juxtaposed, you get a nice looking ancient bracelet. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Thread 1.30 m of beading thread in a needle for beads, thread 4 antique beads on.

Pictures of each step can be found in the PDF version of the craft idea. Just download it.

Step 2

Thread on 1 Rocaille and 1 Antique bead; then, thread back through the prior bead.

Step 3

Thread once again through the Rocaille and the Antique bead to the 2nd row.

Step 4

Thread successively 2 Antique beads following the same pattern.

Step 5

Thread together with a Rocaille bead 4 Antique beads from this row.

Step 6

Thread back only through the Antique bead.

Step 7

Repeat the 1st and the 2nd row until the desired length of the bracelet is reached. (38 rows at our model).

Tip: Stitch up the beading thread back through the threaded beads and sew a new beading thread in.

Step 8

Thread loose 2 Rocailles at a time over the Antique beads. For a better stability, thread 3-4 times through. Sew the thread end up.

Step 9

Push the ribbon crimp ends over the Rocailles.

Step 10

At the end, close it with flat pliers. Do the same for the other side.
