Zoliduo Bracelet 1 Original Bracelet Design By: Iva Mastniková Techniques: Basic bead weaving knowledge, Right angle weave (RAW) You will need: Z (86) Czech Zoliduo beads - Left S10 (1-2 grams) 10/0 Czech seed beads - Color to match your Zoliduo beads Beading Thread Miyuki nylon thread B grey Beading needles size 11 Gold Eye Beading Needle Beading mat Scissors or thread burner Finished size: suited to your wrist size. Each Zoliduo unit measures approx. 3/4 inches. I used 86 Zoliduo beads to make the 7 inch bracelet. Tips: Check 2 hole beads to make sure holes are not plugged. Use an even beading tension. Do not pull thread too tight as bead work will pucker. Cull the beads for uniformity and consistency. Switch to a size 12 beading needle when necessary, to avoid breaking beads. If you like, you can weave in the tail threads and add a new thread to attach the clasp.
