Wrap Bracelet & Ring — Beading PDF Tutorial | Kalos Beads

One pattern, two pieces — a Kalos bead wrap bracelet and a matching ring that look like they belong together.

Kalos beads are made for this. Their flat, lens-shaped form sits perfectly in a repeating bead-woven strip that wraps the wrist in a rich, jewelled band — and the same technique scales down beautifully to make a coordinating ring. Choose three colours of Kalos beads and let them alternate across the length, then layer up decorative rows of seed beads and 3mm rounds on both sides. A small button fastens the bracelet; the ring simply joins into a continuous loop. Both are achievable for beginners with some bead weaving experience, and the result is striking.

This 5-page PDF includes step-by-step illustrated instructions for the wrap bracelet (with button closure) and the matching ring. Bead requirements list included. Also features a tip on sizing and a link to the coordinating Starfish Earrings tutorial.
