We do have an online class that goes over this project. You can find it here: http://craftartedu.com/claudia-chase-crystal-and-bead-wrap-bracelet
We also have a great online class on Craftsy that goes over combining beads and fiber. You can find it here: http://www.craftsy.com/class/Bead-and-Tapestry-Cuffs
We recommend having a Mirrix for all our projects (especially since the instructions are for working on our looms) but you may be able to weave some of our projects on other looms.
