Hi folks,

Thanks for coming everyone and a big thank you to Shelley and her helpers for introducing us to this interesting bead!

May's Project is Be Diamond or Be Square Bracelet

This project uses Right Angle Weave to make the bracelet units. If you're unfamiliar with Right Angle Weave, I strongly suggest looking at some tutorials.
