Beaded Chevron Bracelet with Fringe

A fun, swingy, flirty bracelet made with 11/0 seed beads and chevron netting stitch. Use French wire to protect your thread against wear from clasp findings. I've made hundreds of these, but now I only make them on request. It's just wrong to let the things you know die with you, so I'm passing some things along. Happy Halloween!

Just found this after posting a ? about it from your Beautiful Bib necklace! LOL I know it will take me a lot of practice before I'm ready to do the necklace but still can't wait. Thanks SO much for sharing. You are an EXCELLENT teacher. Wish you to my home and give me some pointers in person!

Hi, I just wanted to see if you had any tips for keeping the tension after adding the 2/1/1 side. I'm having trouble with getting the middle bead on the 3/1/1 side to keep it's point after adding the 2/1/1 beads. Hope I'm making sense. It's so fiddly I'm wondering if I'm doing it right, but it looks the same once I get that point reformed.

Love your videos, I've learned tons from them.

@mknit200 I know exactly what you're talking about. I wish I had a trick for it, but I don't, other than going back and adjusting the beads after they're woven. Growing a third hand would be handy for this, wouldn't it??

You are such a funny woman! You make me giggle with the way you talk throughout your videos :D!

@goldiebutt It is a balancing act! What I learned is that "too low" will mean empty shelves and an inablity to fulfill customer orders in a timely fashion, which translates to a bad reputation, and ultimately an out of business sale. Booo to that!

@tsummerlee I just wanted to add something I either read or ??? who knows where I get info these days, but....What it boils down to is, if you price things too low, people will think you make cheap jewelry, product, etc. But, you don't want to overprice as well, because nobody can afford expensive things either. So it is a balancing act.

@tsummerlee LOL! At least a couple extra fingers!! Well, it's coming along. Now to decide to do a bracelet or go for the waterfall necklace. That's why I wanted to get this down pat, that necklace is gorgeous.
