    Prepare Materials: Gather your RounDuo® beads, Miyuki Seed Beads, beading thread, needles, and clasp.
    Thread Your Needles: Cut about 5-6 feet of beading thread and thread each needle on either end.
    Start with the Clasp: Add your cup button first, using a pattern of 15/0, 11/0, and 15/0 beads through the button holes.
    Add RounDuo® Beads: Begin the bracelet's body by adding RounDuo® beads, alternating colors if desired, and securing them with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads according to the tutorial's stitch technique.
    Continue Bead Addition: Follow the pattern, adding beads and transitioning through sections with precise stitch work.
    Complete the Loop: Finish with a loop for the button closure, reinforcing the thread path for durability.
    Final Adjustments: Secure the thread ends, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure the bracelet fits comfortably.
