  • Step-By-Step Instructions

    Prepare the Beaded Beads: Start with a stop bead and create a loop of 10 seed beads using the peyote stitch. Expand the bead cover by adding rows of seed beads, increasing the number as you reach the middle. Begin tapering by reducing the number of beads per row to fit the wood bead snugly. Complete the bead cover and remove the stop bead. Assemble the Bracelet: String the beaded beads and wood beads onto the dragon thread, alternating with seed beads and Czech slim rondelle beads for a balanced design. Use the peyote stitch to create a toggle clasp from seed beads. Finish the bracelet by securing the toggle clasp and reinforcing the thread path.
