LIZBETH BAND

Inspired by Deborah Roberti's "Bobble Bangles"

SUPPLIES:
• 11/0 seed beads (SB11)
• 8/0 seed beads (SB8) - you will need 2
• SuperDuo beads (SD)
• 3mm druks, pearls or 3x4mm rondelles (D)
• Clasp
• Jump rings
• Nymo D thread or Fireline (3 to 3 1/2 yards)
• Size 12 beading needle recommended

Below is a guide to help you determine approximately how many SuperDuo and druk beads you will
need for your size:

• 6-inch wrist - 16-17 Superduo beads and 30-32 druks

• 7-inch wrist - 18-19 Superduo beads and 34-36 druks
• 7 1/2-inch wrist - 22-23 Superduo beads and 44-46 druks
• 8-inch wrist - 27-28 Superduo beads and 54-55 druks

NOTE: This pattern works best with Miyuki seed beads but you can use
Toho beads as well. Toho beads don't seem to "lock" together as nicely
when making the little seed bead arches that go above and below the
SuperDuo beads.
