Mood Beads Variation The patterns that have the most colorways in the Gallery of Color Suggestions are some of my very favorite designs. You can't go wrong with Deb's Netted Pearl bracelet! Now you can even use Mood Beads to create a stunning variation. Mood Beads are thermo-sensitive & continuously change color with subtle temperature variations, ranging from black (when in the freezer) through all the hues of the rainbow. Like life itself, Mood Beads are always changing and mysterious! The loose beads in the photo above are room temperature and the beads in the bracelet are warmer, since I just took the bracelet off to photograph it. The
Mood Beads measure 12x5mm so I switched to 8/0 seed beads to better match the
size of the Mood Beads and you only need 31 Mood Beads to complete this
design. You can also make the bracelet longer/shorter by adding or removing some of the Mood Beads and seed beads.

Below are the components used in this design example. If you would like to make this version yourself, you will need to calculate the quantities of each item to purchase, depending on the length of bracelet you wish to make, etc.
