We are loving these Czech Paisley duos two-hole beads. Their shape makes them versatile that you can turn or flip them when bead stitching and create a whole new design! We have two simple bead stitch bracelet designs you can easily make with Czech Paisley Duos.

Paisley Stripe Bracelet

This is a simple bracelet you loop your beading threads and make a knot to bring everything together. We love how these paisley beads cup each other nicely like a yin yang. Use two different colors to make this Paisley Stripe Bracelet.

Paisley Leather Wrap Bracelet

We used the same two Paisley colors to stitch a leather wrap bracelet. Find the leather wrap bracelet tutorial from the How to Make a Leather Wrap Bracelet blog post to help make this bracelet and to determine length of desired wraps you want. We first started with adding 5 beads of one color and then one of the second paisley color. Repeat this pattern then gradate in the middle of your bracelet to 5 of the second color and one of your first color.
