Dewdrop Diagonal Bracelet | Step-by-Step Beading Tutorial

Today’s project is a very special one.

In this video, we’re creating the Dewdrop Diagonal Bracelet from page 42 of the beloved book Mastering Beadwork by Carol Huber Cypher — as a memorial project honoring Carol, who passed away in October 2025. Carol’s work has inspired generations of beaders, and her designs continue to live on at bead tables all over the world.

The Dewdrop Diagonal Bracelet is a perfect example of her beautiful, thoughtful style — a flowing diagonal pattern accented with delicate “dewdrop” beads that add movement, elegance, and sparkle. This bracelet feels timeless, graceful, and full of heart… just like the woman who designed it.

Although Mastering Beadwork is no longer in print, the digital version is still available and remains an incredible reference for classic beadwork techniques and treasured designs:

We invite you to stitch along with us and take a quiet moment to remember Carol — to celebrate her creativity, her teaching, and the joy she brought to the beading community.

🕊️ Thank you, Carol, for the beauty you shared and the inspiration that continues to sparkle through our beads.

We will be doing some of Carols project through the months of January and February 2026. If you’d like to see the one’s we’ll be working on, you can find a list on our store blog at https://offthebeadedpathbeadstore.com...
