Instructions on making the red vintage bracelet:

Step 1: Bead a pendent core

2nd, slide 2 brown seed beads, then stitch the wire across the circle around the green bead (as shown in the picture) and also the second seed bead;
3rd, thread the wire across the wire on the other half circle and tighten;
4th, repeat the above process to stitch a brown seed bead surround over the green bead.

Step 2: Stitch a gold loop

1st, slide 2 gold spacer beads, and then thread the wire through the jump at beside and the second gold bead;
2nd, keep stitching as above step to finish the gold layer loop.

Step 3: Bead the last layer loop

Continue to slide 2 red pearl beads, and stitch the pattern as the way you did in step 2.

Step 4: Make stranded pearl chain

Step 5: Finish the whole retro red beaded bracelet

1st, snip off a short wire, insert the wire through 4 pearl beads as pictured;
2nd, slide 5 beads on both wires, and then link with the pendent by stitching the wires through the 2 beads respectively (as shown in the picture);
3rd, stitch both wires along the way downside until they reach the bottom of the pendent;
4th, slide 2 4mm pearl beads, a 6mm pearl bead and another 4mm beads, and then separate the wires by sliding about 12 4mm beads to each;
