Beading Pattern, Tutorial, CRAW Wide Bangles - SHANGA BANGLES

Seed Bead, Beading pattern with full color diagrams and written instructions

Shanga Bangle is Swahili for Beaded Bangles. All African beaders have their versions of Shanga Bangles, some big and thick, others, simple and narrow. Either way, the colors are bright and look good when worn in groups. This deceptively simple Cubic Right Angle Weave pattern gives you the option of having your cake and eating it. Bead a batch of single bangles in a rainbow of colors and wear them in groups or, make up a double or even triple cuff. Bead them bright or bead them in earth tones. They are fun and addictive as well as fairly quick to bead up and you get to use up those size 8 beads you have lying around.
