How to make: ZigZag xbase

Welcome to my zigzag xbase cuff tutorial.

This is the 3rd part of my xbase tutorial series.

The first two tutorials being the standard xbase and the dna xbase.

Next will be the heart xbase design.

This zigzag xbase is one x high.

Supplies 

The supplies you will need are three colors of beads color 1, color 2, and base

Elastic string (I use bead n stretch from walmart)

Scissors are also needed of course.

The Single

As always we will start with a single. 

First start with adding on one color 1 bead then two base beads

Then one color 1 bead then two base beads

 It will end up looking like the picture above.
You should repeat this until you have at least five of each color.
The last pattern should be your color 2 and two base beads.
Make sure you have an even number of color beads.

 Tie off
Apply polish if desired
Cut extra string off
Your single should look similar to the single below.

Row 2

 Start by going through a color 1 bead.
Then string on two color 1 beads and one color 2.
Go into the closest color 2 bead.
*as a rule you always add two beads of the color you just went through and one of the one you are going into.
What you get should look similar to the image below.

Continue using the rule all the way around. 

So the next step would be two of color2 and one color1..

Repeat 

 Tie off and add polish if desired, cut off extra string.

Row 3

String into any point or middle bead from row 2.

Here I went into a color2 bead. 

*As a rule always add on three colors of the one you went through.

Go through your next point bead.

You will get something similar to the image below.

You will string on three of the color you just went through as the rule says and go into the next point bead.

In my case I would string on three of my color 1 beads since that is what I went through.

Continue this all the way around and tie off.

Add fingernail polish if desired and cut off extra string.

 You should get something similar to the image below.

Finishing Off

You will finish off by stringing on two base beads between each point colored bead.

Continue this all the way around. 

Tie off and add polish if desired

Cut off extra string 

You should get something similar to the cuffs below
