Project and Sample by Kate Richbourg

Inspired by the bracelet Kate's mother wore on Christmas Day (a years-old Kate piece!). This update to a classic design has us dreaming of bugles...a great way to add texture and color to a seed bead project! Kate has made this piece on-air once before, but she was feeling like we needed to get to work on something festive! Check out her other sample... Simone.

Step 1: Ladder stitch the bugles in segments of 5 beads

Step 2: Add the X‑motif

• Put on in this order: 1, 15/0; 1, 11/0; 1, 8/0; 1, 11/0; 1, 15/0
• Go back through all beads
• Then add: 2, 15/0; 1, 11/0. Go through the 8/0. Add 1, 11/0; 2, 15/0.
• Back through the first 15/0 and 11/0 to the center 8/0 and up through the 11/0 and through the 15/0, on the opposite side.
• Continue with the ladder stitch. Make as many segments as needed to go around your wrist. Make this your base row

Step 3: Brick stitch double row of 11/0 4 times over each bugle segment.

Add a bugle so it lays like a bridge over the x and creates a negative space.

Continue with this step for both sides.

Step 4: The last step is the scallop between each bridge bugle section.

Put on in this order: 1, 15/0; 1, 8/0; 1, 15/0; 3mm fire polish 1, 15/0; 1, 8/0; 1, 15/0 and through the next bugle

Continue until all scallops are complete. Stitch the Soros clasp ends on each end.
