This Seriously Twisted Bead Bracelet is a mix of crystals and seed beads in swirling strands that will leave your head spinning! Garnet and clear beads are woven together in an intricate and sophisticated look for this tutorial, but you can also choose your favorite color beads to craft this totally twisted design. If you are looking for a DIY bracelet project, this spiral fan-favorite is just what you've been looking for.
It took me quite a bit of research to find any information on this technique, so my version may not be 100% true to the original. However, the look of the pattern is correct. I had found a description of this stitch being executed with two needles, but only one is needed. I also had difficulty with the first beads I purchased from a local bead store, but later learned that the Huichol artists use Czech 11/0 Preciosa Ornelo Rocaille beads exclusively. I purchased mine from Shipwreck Beads, but also found them at Fire Mountain. Toho 11/0 seed beads also work well, but will result in a slightly larger pattern that is stretched slightly and may not end up with the correct size on bracelet patterns.
I've also experimented with different needles. The \"big eye\" needle works well but can be a little tight when going back through beads on the third pass. I've found a twisted wire needle that works well, but makes a \"zipping\" noise as you go back through the beads and the tip of the needle is not a point. A size 10 beading needle works well, but is difficult to thread with this heavier thread. You might try the three needles and see if you prefer one over the others.

Older children and adults with more advanced fine motor control will be able to make a wooden bead bracelet with minimal guidance from a teacher, parent, or caregiver. While toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners are likely to need a little assistance when making beaded bracelets.
However, making beaded bracelets is generally a three-plus craft idea due to the size of the beads. Even large wooden beads and pony beads are too small for many young children, and can therefore present a choking hazard to toddlers and preschoolers. So please do not use small beads or offer this beaded craft activity to children that are still mouthing objects. Especially if the child is under the age of three.
Bracelet making has several educational benefits for the developing child and the aging elderly adult. Not only is beading an excellent skill for fine motor development and hand-eye coordination. Making hand-beaded bracelets and other creations can also build memory skills, and help prepare children for reading and math.
And once kids learn how to make DIY bracelets and master the basics of beading, children can work on building patterns and different color combinations and making beaded necklaces and bracelets with more advanced jewelry-making methods and techniques. Which only adds to the many benefits of beading for kids. Especially if they decide to give away homemade gifts for friends and family, or sell their creations for money, as I did in my youth.

With that said, some people like them significantly tighter or loser depending on the style of the bead bracelet, the type or size of beads on it, and preference. But bigger beads with a larger circumference will always need to be made into longer bracelets than bracelets made with smaller beads simply because of their size.
