Comfortable Criss Cross Beaded Bracelet

When I came up with this Criss Cross Beaded Bracelet pattern, I was actually thinking of the "Hugs & Kisses" beaded bracelet. I wanted to use these bigger beads, and needed something that would not roll around or have the beadwork slip behind the beads. This is what I ended up with and I think it's pretty nifty.

Here's what you'll need to make your own:

Size 11/0 seed beads, any color, I used a silver lined matte pink

Approximately fourteen 8 mm beads, I used a clear matte faceted bead

Nymo "D" thread - I used pink, to bring a bit of pink through the crystals

Two pieces French Wire, aka Gimp, approximately 8 mm long

Lobster Claw clasp and Split Ring, for closures

Two Size 11 beading needles

Here are the complete instructions for making the "Criss Cross Bracelet".
