Dharma Bracelet

This bracelet is easy to make, and with the beautiful Dharma bead caps, the large, velvety cats eye beads, and the sparkle of Swarovski crystal, the design is stunning. You'll only need basic stringing skills to put this bracelet together, and it only takes a few minutes to make. You can review basic stringing following the link below:

Continue this pattern until desired length is reached

Made exactly as pictured, this bracelet measures 8.5". You can easily shorten it by leaving out the 2mm round and 6mm bicone on either end.

Keep in mind that because the core of this bracelet is made of 10mm beads, when you put it on, it will fight more tightly than a bracelet made of 6mm beads. That is to say - if you're used to working with smaller beads, be sure to make this bracelet a little bit longer than you would with a smaller sized bead bracelet.
