My first tutorial for you guys!

Great instructions! I had no trouble following along in my head as I read them, and I'll try them and let you know!

Thanks, Valerie!

Valerie, that's a well written tute, and beautiful bracelets. There's only one thing I would change, and that's to add the multiple bracelets pic (made smaller, maybe? cropped?) to the top of the tute, as a "sweet shot" such as they do at the beginning of magazine articles. Sarajane

Good idea Sarajane! Thanks for that. I was thingking about doing that, but wasn't sure if I should or not.

No problem! Pictures of the second step of the tute (putting it all together) will be coming soon. I just need to finish a bracelet to do that part. LOL!

I think enticement at the beginning is always a good thing. Sarajane

Excellent! I got it visualised and made a short length of it to test it out, and it turned out wonderfully! I'm going to attach a fringe/tassel to one end of my square tube and use it in a necklace. What size of bead/bead cap do you suggest for the end? From the pic at the end and the size my tube ended up I think something in the 4-6mm range would work best.

My only comment is that in some of the pics it was slightly tricky to see exactly which beads the thread was coming out of (where some of the thread goes off the edge of the photo). I personally like the type of diagram they use in B&B. I do like your photos though, very clear and close up. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos.

Sweetie, you should be writing the tutorials for B&B. Very easy to follow directions, excellent photos.

I think you should submit one of the bracelets to Beadwork since it is an embellishment on a design from one of their books. I bet they'd publish it in a flash!

Yes, I've found that 6mm (ish) beads work best.

Thanks for the input. I'll tweak the pics better in the final draft.

Thanks again for all the input. It's not finished, but I do hope to do that soon. :-)

Awww, thanks! That is a thought though... Now you're getting me thinking. LOL!
