Affinity Wrap Bracelet

I'm in love with wrap bracelets. They're casual, pretty, simple and easy to wear. I realized this morning that it would be really easy to make an Affinity Bracelet into an Affinity Wrap Bracelet. I found some gorgeous gold iris Tila beads that were perfect for this experiment and got weaving.

I warped my 12" loom with some black silk. I had a ten dent coil on the top (warped one warp thread, three spaces and the other warp thread) but it wasn't necessary to have any coil on because the beads will set the sett of the warp. 

Weaving this bracelet was very simple. I used Tila beads which have two holes instead of one. First, I picked up a bead. 

I placed that bead behind my warp threads. 

Then, I sewed through the bead in the front of the warp. 

Next, I sewed through the second hole in the bead, behind the warp. 

Finally, I sewed through the second hold in front of my warp. 

Because these beads are so large, the weaving part is very fast (and fun!) I finished this just by tying off the ends of the silk and securing the bracelet with a nice little bow! 

In total I think this took me about an hour, although I tend to do thirteen things at once so it was hard to tell. Another easy Mirrix project!
