Gemma Leaf Bracelet - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads

Use Czech leaves as the capstone to these mandala-like components built off of a circular form. Seed Beads in size 11/0 and 8/0 create a radiating effect that draws the eye to the gemstone at the center. Use 4mm Gemstones to connect each component for a bold bracelet or necklace. The components can also be used individually for earrings or a brooch.

The Perfect Form Endless Ring 20mm is a perfect foundation to build a circular component, such as this Gemma Leaf Bracelet

1. Begin by tying one end of a 5 foot length of Dragon Thread to one of the perfect forms 20mm. PIckup an 11/0, Leaf, and 11/0. Allow all three beads to sit on the outside of the ring. Bring the thread under the form and back through the last 11/0 you picked up. This will anchor the thread around the form and secure the set of 3 beads on the outside of the form.

2. Continue watching the Gemma Leaf Bracelet video tutorial for how to complete 3 components and link them together into a bracelet.

3. Create a clasp using a Cup Button on one end and an adjustable loop on the other.

Each component can be used individually to create a ring, brooch, earrings, or anything else you can dream up! Try switching out the Leaves for Daggers or another similarly shaped bead for a different look.
