This listing is for all the lampwork beads (button flower bead and 4 brown flowers) and all of the other accent beads needed (like the pearls, Czech beads, seed beads, etc) to make the bracelet that is featured in the Spring Issue 2010 of Stringing magazine. THE MAGAZINE ISSUE IS NOT INCLUDED.

The design features a darling handmade 2-hole flower button bead that is the focal part of the design. There are 3 seperate strands of beads that all combine together to make an eye catching bracelet. The 4 brown lampwork flower beads help to keep all three strands united because each beading wire is thread through the hole in the brown flower beads. And... you will notice in the design that there are 2 dangle sets beads on each side of the button. These are also wire wrapped around all 3 strands of beading wire to help keep the strands together. You can just wire wrap the head pins (which are included in the kit) around the 3 strands of beading wire. Or... if that seems difficult, you can just put the dangle beads on a jump ring and then position the jump ring around the 3 strands of beading wire.

IMPORTANT TO READ: To help keep the cost of the kit down, none of the silver findings are included. This includes the silver toggle, the silver crimps, and the silver beads that are used at the end of the crimp beads. Also, you will need to use your own beading wire as the beading wire is not included. I used Soft Flex .019 beading wire which is available here on this site.

AND...no printed directions are included. You can find the written directions in the Stringing magazine that can be found at any major book store or on-line.

All lampwork beads are made by Cassie Donlen. These beads are made to order so please allow a few days for them to be made.

If you prefer, you can use your own accent beads and just purchase the lampwork beads only. They are found in the lampwork beads section.
