Creative Beadcraft has added a selection of Preciosa’s new 2-hole
bow beads to their ever-growing range of multi-hole beads. These
striking 3.5x13.5mm beads offer lots of creative opportunities. The
gentle curve of the bow beads means they work well with other
curved beads. They combine beautifully with the Preciosa 2-hole

beads. They can also be used for more complex designs such as comes early

For a bracelet, make sure that the design
will be strong and not have too many
parts that stick out and catch on cloth-
ing. For a necklace, make sure that the
inner curve matches a draped chain of
the same finished length. In this way you
can avoid your necklace twisting when
worn. In addition, add pivot points where
it is joined by just one bead, so these can
flex if the curve isn’t quite perfect.
Add extra (D) and (E) beads where
necessary to complete the design. Some
methods of attachment are illustrated
