Because Russian spiral netting works up really fast, I wasn’t ready to stop once the necklace was complete. So I decided to use the technique for this week’s bracelet. And since it’s a simple technique, I also used it as an opportunity to get into some more of my bright neon beads.
This time I picked shocking orange 8/o’s. And what goes better with orange than white? Creamsicle is such a fun color combo, and it has me thinking of summer already.
If you’re ever looking for a great instant gratification project, I highly recommend making a little Russian spiral. It makes great bracelets, and because it’s a tube, it can also be strung with other beads to make a necklace.

ReplyDeleteI love it, and I think I have enough beading thread on hand to give it a whirl. It's been years since I picked up a thin needle and some seed beads.

Definitely give it a try! It goes so quickly that it's almost impossible to get bored with the steps before you've got enough for a bracelet.
