    Quick Project Steps

    The detailed instructions for creating the Architect Bracelet involve making individual components and connecting them. The key steps include:
    Start by preparing the beads for one component.
    Thread the needle with a comfortable length of beading thread, adding a stop bead.
    Begin by adding crescent beads, alternating with seed beads, followed by two-hole triangles, forming a circular component.
    Secure a DiscDuo bead in the center of the component.
    Repeat the process to create the necessary number of components for the bracelet length.
    Connect the components using additional DiscDuo beads and seed beads for embellishment.
    Finish with adding a clasp using a wire guard for durability.

    I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
