Play around with seed beads, crystals and your own creativity with these freeform cuffs.

If you've never strayed from the beading path before, then these step-by-step instructions may be just the project to tempt you.

This complete 9 page step-by-step tutorial contains all the instructions and photos you will need to make your own cuffs.

Materials needed:

• Size 11 seed beads
• A mix of 3-6mm feature beads such as round crystals, pearls, fire-polish, large seed beads as desired
• Needle, thread and findings of choice

All tutorials contain full instructions and tips as well as check lists for all tools, materials and techniques needed to help you shop and plan.

A basic knowledge of brick stitch may help you in beading these cuffs but isn't essential as the instructions are detailed.

This project appeared in Issue 4 of Bead magazine in June/ July 2007
