Below is a sneak preview of what you will see from step by step guide available in our member area.

 For those of you new to Arcos beads,  these are wonderfully curved beads with three holes. For simplicity I will describe the beads, and instructions for using them in a similar way to that seen in Bead and Button magazine, written by the bead designer, Annick Puca herself Arcos beads have an outside and inside edge, and I will indicate which edge to sew through. They also have three holes, first, second and centre, which I will refer to as FH, SH, and CH in the instructions. So  if I am instructing to sew or pick up through the middle hole from the inside edge, I will say “ …  1A inside edge (CH).”


When measuring the length of the bracelet after your round 6 repeats, add one inch (2.5cm) to include the additional beads and clasp beyond the pearls at the ends.  I used an 8mm round magnetic clasp, but if you have chosen to use a button or larger clasp then remember to include this in your overall length.

 


 STEP 1 Pick up 1A, 1E and 1A. Pass back through the E, then the first 1A, through the E again, then through the second 1A.

 

 
 


 STEP 2 Pick up 6A, pass through the first A from step 1, pick up 6A and pass through the second A from step 1. Pass through all 14 A again, exiting the second A from step 1.




STEP 3 Pick up 3A, pass through the A from step 1 again, then through the first 2A just added to make a picot. Pick up 3A, pass throught the A at the top of the first picot, to make a second picot. Pass through all 3A just added once more. (Exiting the side bead of the second picot)
 




 STEP 4 Pick up 1D, pass through the side bead of the first picot, then pass through the A from step 1, and the next side bead on the first picot. Pick up 1D, pass through the side bead on the second picot. Weave through the D, the side A of the first picot, the A from step 1 and the next 2A from step 2.
 
 
 
 


 STEP 5 Pick up 1C inside edge (FH), 3B, 1A and 3B. Pass through the C outside edge (SH). Skip 2a in the circle from step 2, pass through the next 3A. Pick up 3A, pass through the A just exited, and through the next 2A. Pick up 1C inside edge (FH), 3B, 1A and 3B. Pass through the C outside edge (SH).
