| SERAFINA BRACELET |
Create this stunning statement bracelet using a combination of square stitch, RAW, and netting. I wanted to design a bracelet that used crystal pearls in a larger size for a bolder look. I decided to name it Serafina because the meaning of the name is associated with angels and when you
look at the large pearls with the ring of beads around it reminds you of a halo. You will use chatons, 3 sizes of crystal pearls, bicones and seed beads to make this beautiful bracelet. Intermediate level, must have beadweaving experience. Allow 4 hours. Designed & taught by Carmelina Calabrese. $75 plus materials, kits available upon request.
