Triple Beaded Trebles Bracelet

Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This bracelet is made with a new beaded treble crochet technique I came up with. There are 3 beads per treble crochet stitch. Then I backed the bracelet with a thin piece of suede leather for stability.

Sewing needle
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends
