My newest tutorial is now available on Etsy:

It Takes Two (Different Types of Triangle Beads) to Tango, a beadweaving tutorial by Sweet Freedom Designs

This pattern calls for several different 2-hole beads: 6mm 2-hole triangles, Tangos, 6mm pyramid studs, and SuperDuos, plus 3mm Firepolish, and various seed bead sizes.

The 21-page tutorial is loaded with pictures and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and diagrams.

I consider this an intermediate to advance tutorial, but if you have experience reading beadweaving patterns, you will be able to create these designs.

I consider this to be an advanced tutorial, although any beginner who's comfortable reading patterns will be able to pick up this tutorial and create the bracelet - the tutorial has explicit step-by-step instructions as well as easy to follow diagrams.
