You can A hugs & kisses woven design is named so, due to the XOXOX pattern we will be creating. You can then adapt and change the design to suit your needs. To make several bracelets it’s a good idea to divide up your materials first. You may want to reduce the length of the feature section and increase the strap length or make a really fancy bracelet by using lots of beads. By substituting seed beads along the sides instead of a 4mm bead you can make your kits go further. This bracelet will measure approx. 6.5” with a total of 10 x 10mm beads used. If you need a longer bracelet, you can lengthen the seed bead sections on the end before your clasp.
