Description

Tasha Bead and Fiber Tapestry Bracelet Kit by Ann Benson. Rich earth-tone fibers and beautiful complementary beads are combined in this easy-to-create loomed bracelet. For this project, a no-finish or four selvage loom is recommended. Weave this 1" wide very basic tapestry bracelet to fit a wrist from 6" to 8" using cotton and tencel fibers, with 11o beaded strips placed throughout, and 6o accents. The closure is a flower button with genuine freshwater pearl accents; the buttonhole is easily woven into the design. Using the no-finish loom, there is no end finishing required, just a smooth edge. This design is a good introduction to tapestry combined with beading. The kit includes three colors of lightweight cotton and tencel fiber, 11o seed beads, 6o seed beads, 12o three-cut seed beads, Czech flower button, genuine freshwater pearls, nylon beading thread, warping thread (color may vary by availability), weaving and beading needles, complete directions for weaving, stitching, sizing and minimal finishing. The recommended loom is my no-finish bracelet loom, available on this site.
