New Pattern and Kits: Lucky O Bracelet

The patterns and kits for my new O bead designs are now available on my website! Over the next couple days I'll talk about each of them here on the blog. First up is the Lucky O Bracelet:



O Beads + Bugle Beads


This bracelet features two different colors of O beads in two different orientations: edge-on, and face-up. I wanted to contrast the round, smooth O shape with something angular, so I used several Japanese bugle and triangle beads on the back of each component.



Connected Snowflake Components


The finished bracelet is made up of nine connected components that look like little snowflakes. There are tons of possibilities for other jewelry items from these components, such as earrings, charms, or rings!



Custom Matching Clasp


The beading pattern for this bracelet includes instructions on how to make a matching beaded toggle clasp, with more O beads and bugle beads, for a seamless look to this beaded bracelet.


Three Kit Colorways!


This O bead pattern is available exclusively at beadorigami.com, and beading kits for this design are available in the three colorways shown above. Each kit contains all the beads needed to make one bracelet!

  1. The bracelets are FANTASTIC!:-)Wonderful colors too.
    The O-beads are fabulous.
    I'll have to look for them and get them from somewhere in the internet.
    I think,they give lots of possibilities to make the interesting bead compositions.
