Bracelets made using PRECIOSA Tee™ and PRECIOSA Pellet™ beads

The strung beads PRECIOSA Tee™ closely interlock and as such simplify the option of creating varied structures and of combining them with other beads from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™ brand. 

We would like to introduce the new Czech PRECIOSA Tee™ pressed bead. The axially symmetrical, flat "T" shaped bead with dimensions of 2 x 8 mm enables the application of all the available surface coatings. Thanks to its shape, PRECIOSA Tee™ is an excellent supplement to the PRECIOSA Pellet™ bead. Try the excellent universal utility of the this bead in different types of stringings, sewing techniques, crocheting and kumihimo and its easy combination with other Czech beads from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™ product brand.

Procedure:

Length of the bracelet: ca 18 cm / 7.1’’.

Step 1
Alternately string 1x P and 1x T four times onto ca 150 cm of Fireline and thread it through all the beads in the same direction one more time in order to create a circle and then tighten the entire stringing well (fig. no. 1).

Step 2
String 1x R9, 1x R11 and 1x R9, then thread the line through the nearest P from step 1 and repeat the procedure up to the end of the row. Thread the line through all of the R and 3x P once again and continue the stringing after the 3^rd P (fig. no. 2).

Step 3
String 1x R9, 1x R11, 1x R9, 1x P, 1x R9, 1x R11 and 1x R9 and thread the line through the P where this step started once again, thread the line through the three added R and the added P and continue in the rest of the stringing (fig. no. 3).

Step 5
Repeat steps 2 - 4 until you reach the required length of the bracelet (5x).

Step 6
String 1x R9, 1x R11 and 1x R9, the magnetic fastener, 1x R9, 1x R11 and 1x R9 and thread the line through the nearest P where the stringing began and then thread the line through this row several times. Tighten the stringing well every time, secure it with a knot and thread the line once again through the nearest one R and cut off the line (fig. no. 5). Repeat this step on the second side of the bracelet.
