Laddered Stacks

Project Info:

Level: Beginner

Estimated time: 3-4 Hours

Project and Samples by Kate Richbourg and Emily Miller

Come on over to the bead table! Kate and Emily have some quick-to-make-bracelets to show you. Watch what happens when you switch positions of just two types of beads…different looks and textures are just a switcheroo away! Adjustable length closures make them perfect for gift-giving, too.

The holidays are fast approaching and this year’s presents will be a breeze when you can whip up batches of these amazing stacks. These bracelets are great alone, but better stacked together…and they tie in to last week’s project, which aired November 8. The ingredients listed will net you several bracelets, in coordinating colorways to the Beaded Bead Stacks (and using leftover seed beads from that Project…you’ll want one tube of each seed bead color to complete one Peyote beaded bead and one coordinating laddered bracelet). Check out our recipe page to extend your stack in colors you choose, too!

Be sure to watch Kate and Emily bead away on Facebook LIVE November 15, 2017, or watch the rebroadcast above. They have tricks and tips to make it simple and will show you how to make these great beaded beads.

Project Map

These coordinate beautifully with the Beaded Bead Stacks, using the leftover seed beads and adding a few new ingredients. You can make a gorgeous stack of Stretchy and Laddered bracelets in matching colors. You’ll only need one tube of seed beads in each color to complete both projects and then some!
