I received a really good review on this bracelet instructions that I created. SEE REVIEW HERE I wanted to let you guys have a peek at he basic steps to create the bracelet. The step is called right angle weave using 2 needles. You can use this technique on various handmade jewelry designs.

Cut a good amount of thread and fold it in half. Then make 4 sets of bicones in 2 different colors on the left and right thread.

Continue to slide 2 colors of beads in figure 8 motion and following the diagram until you reach the desired length.

When you reach the desired length, cross the thread into the bead on your left like shown in this diagram.

Now work your way up still in figure 8 motion. Take note that the left thread should pass through a bicone from the first set of bicones you created to complete 4 sets of bicones.

Keep working your way up until you reach the same length as the first row.

When you're done attach your clasp and voila! You now have a sparkling bracelet :) 

I have a more detailed steps at DiyLessons.org but the steps I shared here is the basic and you can definitely use the technique to create your own designs. Cheers!
