Herringbone Stitch - Pearl Beaded Bracelet - "Melon Balls"

An eye catching creation with very few 'ingredients' and the fact that you're using 8mm pearls in the design means that it all beads up pretty quickly! The saying 'less is more' really holds true for this design.

You are so welcome Mary! Hope you have a go! x

I lie this method of bezelling because it doesn’t cover too much of the bead. Thank you!

[@JoBarclayLoggie]

Glad you like it Shelley! AND you are 100% correct - you still get to see your gem / pearl...x

[@vegasbets777]

when I make jewelry using your tutorials......besides making for myself......is it permissable to sell what I make as long as I credit you as the designer? Thanks

[@JoBarclayLoggie]

That’s so good of you to ask… you are most welcome to sell your finished makes, crediting me as the designer-always good to check as not all designers are happy with this!🤗 Good Luck…x
