2 Instructions to complete Cherry Blossom Lattice bracelet: Tip This bracelet is made with a variation of right angle weave using two-hole beads. If you are not proficient with right angle weave, please follow the Basic Right Angle Weave Technique and practice the stitch using conventional beads until you are comfortable with the stitch. Step 1 Thread a needle with 5 feet of beading thread (add thread as needed), and wax the thread. Step 2 Repeat the sequence three more times. Leaving an 8-inch tail, pass through the first three beads strung. Pull tight. Step 3 Exiting a Rulla bead, turn and pass through the second hole in the Rulla bead. Flip the Rulla beads so that the second hole is on the inside of the circle. Step 4 String one peanut bead. Pass through the second hole in the next Rulla bead. Repeat this step three more times. Pull tight. Step 5 Turn and pass through the outer hole of the last Rulla you exited. Weave through beads to exit the pearl on the end of the circle opposite the tail. Step 6 Repeat the sequence two more times, then string: Pass through the pearl from the previous unit. Pass through all of the beads just added, the pearl from the previous unit, and two more beads. Step 7 Repeat Steps 3 5. Step 8 Repeat Steps 6 7 for the desired length of the bracelet. Weave through beads to exit the pearl on the side of the circle, not the end. Step 9 Repeat Steps 6 7. Weave through beads to exit the pearl opposite the end of the bracelet.

3 Step 10 Repeat the sequence twice, then string: Pass through the pearl on the inside edge of the next unit. String: Pass through the pearl exited at the beginning of this step. Pass through all of the beads in the circle again, and then pass through the first two beads added in this step. Step 11 Exiting a Rulla bead, turn and pass through the second hole in the Rulla bead. Flip the Rulla beads so that the second hole of each is on the inside of the circle. * String one peanut bead, and pass through the next Rulla bead. Repeat from * four times. Pass through all of the beads in this round again. Turn and pass through the outer hole of a Rulla bead. Weave through beads to exit the pearl opposite the end of the bracelet. Step 12 This unit will be worked in the opposite direction from the previous unit. String these beads in the following sequence: Pass through the pearl on the inside edge of the next unit. Step 13 Repeat the sequence twice, then string: Pass through the pearl of the previous unit. Pass through all of the beads in this round. Pass through two more beads. Step 14 Repeat Step 11. Step 15 Continue to alternate, following Steps 10 11, then Steps Step 16 Clasp attachment: Exiting a pearl at the end of the bracelet toward the center, string four size 11 round seed beads. Pass through one loop of one side of the toggle clasp. String three size 11 seed beads, pass back through the first size 11 seed bead added, and pass through the peanut bead. Pass through beads around the end unit, and exit the pearl initially exited in this step. Reinforce the loop by passing through all beads again.

4 Step 17 Pass through the peanut bead, Rulla bead, peanut bead and pearl in the center of the bracelet. Weave through beads on the adjacent end unit to exit the pearl on the end toward the center of the bracelet.
