SuperDuo is a Czech-made glass seed bead with a diamond shape and two 0.8mm holes. They are great for dimensional bead weaving designs, from your basic flat stitching to more intricate 3D lace seed bead designs. We have two fun jewelry pieces using these versatile Czech SuperDuo seed beads; accompanied with pattern tutorials.
Ocean Pebble Bracelet
We love the different mixes that SuperDuo offers. The assorted SuperDuo colors make it easy to bead freely and not worry about color sequence. Our bracelet is weaved with a simple straight stitch and because Super Duo has two holes, they are easy to intertwine.
Below is our bracelet pdf pattern tutorial. With a tube of 300+ beads, we were able to make this bracelet project, with extra beads to spare. For our 7” bracelet, we started with 83 beads for the first row. You can add more or less for your wrist preference, but make sure to have an odd bead count before coming back around. When you reach the end of the pattern, tie the remaining string with the string closest to it and thread through a few more beads before snipping the string. As an option, you can glue the knot for a secure hold. Add your choice of lobster clasp to one end with a jump ring and on the other end, attach ¾” of chain with another jump ring. Or you can certainly choose a toggle or tube clasp to finish off your bracelet.

Spiral Super Duo Earrings
We love our dainty spiral SuperDuo earrings. They glisten with an edging of gold seed beads and findings. These earrings are simple to make and a great project for the beginning bead stitcher.
These items are gorgeous! I can’t wait to try them!
Hello Donna. Thank you for your comment. Please do share your finished bracelets with us on our Facebook page or here! We would love to see what you’ve made! Happy Beading!
This Ocean Pebble bracelet would also be great in the colors found in Indian Corn, for the fall pallett.
Thank you Jacqueline for your comment. We agree that the bracelet does have that Indian Corn and fall color palette. It’s fun to use the Czech Super Duo MIX colors for this project because you get a fun variation of colors.
Thanks for sharing pattern…greatly appreciated.
You’re welcome Rita! Enjoy and Happy Beading!
