Twisted Bracelet. If you have admired those seed bead twisty bracelets and necklaces, but didn't know how to get the twisted effect, then today is your day.

Twisted Bracelet

I started with 4 strings of beads. I used a crimping bead and fed all four strings through, and then crimped. I did this at both ends so that the beads wouldn't come flying off. People who follow me on Facebook know that I did this precaution after those beads came off several times. Eventually, I learn. :) In this photo, you can see the crimp bead with all four strings fed through it. After you crimp both ends, lay out your bracelet flat. Separate the first strand from the rest of the strands. Pick up the left-hand end of the bracelet and fish it underneath that first strand that you separated. Pull the left-hand strands all the way through and re-straighten the bracelet. Once again, take the left-hand end of the bracelet and fish it underneath the first two strands that you separated. And pull it through. Stones and Leather. Stones and Leather.
