The hashtag collection grew from a bracelet I designed in 2015. As I played with the components more and more possibilities occurred to me. I am sure you will go on to find further configurations yourself as you play with the pattern. There is room for lots of bead play with this pattern.
This tutorial teaches you how weave a variety of different pieces using one main unit as the basis for each piece. It explains the process in detailed step by step instructions which are accompanied by step by step photographs illustrating the process.
The tutorial has instructions for:
a wide bracelet
a narrow bracelet
a chain style necklace
small earrings or charms
The tutorial is suitable for a beginner with a little experience and those ready to start to try intermediate patterns. It is very detailed and thorough so easy for a beginner to follow.
Materials for a wide bracelet:
10g Superduos
5g Size 15 miyuki seed beads – main colour
1g Size 15 miyuki seed beads – contrast colour (optional)
112 3mm pearls
4m 6lb fireline

I am happy for you to sell items made using the tutorial locally, in galleries and at local craft fairs. I do not permit the selling of items made using the tutorial on the internet. I also do not permit mass production of items made using the tutorial. Please credit me as the designer.
This tutorial accompanies the Hashtag Beaded Bead tutorial.
Please note, the pattern is written in ENGLISH only. The photographs are clear and detailed so many beaders will manage to create pieces using the photographs alone.
